Hey guys,

Anyone has the problem when you are trying to slow down or stop the car and the revs goes to 0 and the engine dies?

Its happening to mine and i have to throw the clutch or turn the ignition to start it back.

Its getting more frequent.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Terence

is your car turbo? if yes, what sort of bov do you have and how old are your plugs?

i had an issue with my 33 stalling when lifting off due to the plugs getting old and worn and even though i still had the stock bov it was going a bit rich on lift off and the plugs weren't able to cope. new plugs fixed it for me.

yup.. my car is turbo.

using a greddy bov.

i did a service and changed to new plugs..

trying playing ard with the idle, bov but the prob is still happening...

happened before and after the service even.

Sounds like a problem I had about a year ago... ...But I was also losing power when putting the foot down...

Turned out to be the bracket that the CAS (Cam Angle Sensor) is mounted to was broken about half way through... ...I think it is aluminium... ...So maybe more of a tear...

I also learned how to test to see if it is the CAS bracket...

* * * Warning - if you lose your finger don't blame me!!! * * *

While the motor is running press on the plastic timing belt cover from the front towards the back and see if that changes the tone of the motor...

If it does... ...Take the plastic cover off and press on the CAS it's self and see if it changes the tone of the motor more or less than with the cover on...

Then if it does again... ...remove the CAS and the CAS bracket and have a good look at the bracket... ...most likely you'll only see a very very fine crack somewhere... ...But under load the crack could open up a bit and get the CAS out by a few degrees... ...Totally messing up the timing of you motor...

Oh... ...And don't do what I did have have a broken bracket with no other car to go and get a new bracket with...

Hope this helps...

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
