Hey guys,

i've been having this problem for a little while now and i was hopeful if anybody here could help me to pinpoint the problem?

Sometimes, when im driving along, the car will cut out and stall all together..

When i turn it back on it does this:

When i turn it back off, and on again, its fine ..

I was thinking maybe its a shoddy alarm installation?

I tried changing pods and cleaning the AFM.. could anybody help me out?

Car has a stock BOV, happens every so often and i dont know how to re-create the problem to show any mechanics! :bunny:

mine starts idleing like that as the alarm imobilisers kick in.

i have one of those brant pin pad alarms. it has a highjack setting.

once i get in the car, start it, close the door and put my seat belt on its enabled. so once any door is opened and my seatbelt in un-buckled after 40 secs or so it starts beeping at me and then the car cuts out

can be a pain sometimes...took me ages to work out when i first got the car...even took it to an auto elec and he didnt know.

I'm going thru the same problem as we speak.

A few mates have told me it could be a range of different things including air flow meter, fuel pump, coil packs, spark plugs, dirty throttle body blah blah blah.

I have an R33 RB25DET - very low k's so i don't think its the coil packs, i changed oil, fuel filters etc, i've taken it to a few mechanics and coincidently it runs fine and there are no errors that come up. Today i changed the spark plugs and it made a huge diffrence, now i can actually drive it up the road before it cuts out and starts coughing and spluttering. The spark plugs were black and smelt like fuel so its running really rich. I'm gonna get a new airflow meter bolted on next week to see if that's the problem - i'll keep ya posted.

If anyone else can help that'd be great. Even just some direction on what to replace next or even some suggestions on who i can take it to to get fixed around the Wollongong area. I'll take it to Syd if i have too.

Good luck

My r32 stalls like that once or twice a month... I still haven't figured it out. No codes, it just dies. Some times it will start up and be fine, others I have to sit and wait 30-40 minutes before it will start again. Not sure if it's related, but I can't get the timing lower than +25 even with the cas all the way ccw.

New fuel pump, new fuel filter, cleaned injectors, new fuel pressure reg, new ignitor, new battery, new spark plugs, borrowed coils from another car, new ignition loom, new (used) cas, new (used) ECU, new battery leads, pulled some extra earth leads, tested alternator, cleaned every electric connector on the car, clean & resoldered afms, cleaned aac, compression tested, boost leak tested, tested almost every wire in the loom.

Nothing helps. I'm so frustrated with it that I'm going to sell it next month if I don't get fix it.

Sorry to rant in your thread! I hope you have better luck than me!

i would be looking firstly at the IAC and AAC valves. they control the idle IAC, as well as the idle when things like the aircon is turned on or the steering is turned and more load is put on the engine at idle (AAC). these valves often get dirtied or blocked by carbon and don't operate properly because they become sticky. this is why sometimes turning the car off, or even just giving it a rev can be enough to make it idle better as you are making the valve move even more which can be enough to temporarily sort the issue out.

i'm guessing that isn't your car in the video and you are just using it as an example of what the car runs like? if so then the above is what i would do. if it is your car (even though the video is from october 08 and plenty of people have said what the problem is in the comments) then i would plumb the bov back in to where it's supposed to recirculate to (between the AFM and turbo) and that will solve the issue.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
