Hi there..

Hey my R32 GTS-t has started trying to stall when cruising at about 100ks.. It hasnt done it a lot, but it gives ya a bit of a fright when your car tries to die as your driving it on the highway lol.. anyway, it seems to try and die when its cruising, not under any great load or anything.. the cars an auto, so no change in bov.. thinking it could be a fuel filter cause im not sure when it was last done, esp because of the way it drops power very fast for about 2 seconds and then comes right.. the thing im wondering here is most fuel filters ive seen are made of like a clear semi transperant plastic.. but the on in this car is quite an old looking silver tin one.. is there any chance it could still eb the factory one or something?

cheers

it could still be the factory one, but you will find that the replacement one will look pretty much identical. it would be worth replacing either way just to rule it out. sounds a bit weird that it is only doing it at light load. could also be an AFM issue, o2 sensor, AAC valve issue.

will look at changing the fuel filter and see what happens.. the only think ive changed recently is adding a full 3" turbo back exhaust.. but that was about 2000k's ago and its only started doing it now.. is there anyway way to check the o2, afm and aac valve?

since the car was traveling at 80 -100km at the time of the drop, and so doing around 2.5 - 3k rpm, wouldnt that rule out the aac vavle? just trying to think of what might cause this so i have somehwere to start.. any input is welcome! cheers..

It won't be the AAC valve - that is only for idle control.

IT WILL NOT BE THE O2 SENSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! A dead O2 sensor will not prevent the engine from running. It will simply cause an increase in fuel consumption (at worst).

It could be the fuel pump controller playing up. See if you can get a fuel pressure gauge set up and drive around a bit observing if fuel pressure has an effect.

The clear plastic fuel filters are for carburetted engines. They only need to withstand around 4psi pressure. All EFI engines run a metal canister fuel filter, so they can withstand the 3bar + fuel pressures.

clean your AFM, AAC valve with cabi cleaner. and try.

is your AUTOMATIC transmisson..? if so,

1 when it try to stall put it in to N

2 see how you feel. if u feel it want try to stall,

3 check your transmission fluid level.

drive or idel until engine get warm,

drive 1 2 3 and D and put in to R put in to N and leave it 1 min and check the level of the fluid. fluid level S/B in between L - H level. make sure your dipstick with no fluid bubles. if so do a transmission service.

I had the same prob with my car. hope ths will help u.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
