Vaccum leak.. check all the little hoses under the throttlebody.

At my last service my throttlebody was removed and cleaned and it fixed up that exact issue, so it's probably what bubba said, but I've heard a lot of people point to bov issues...

i had a similar issue where when it would drop, it would drop straight down the stall, or bounce a bit at 500rpm and die or go back to normal idle, what i did was increase the idle revs and that solved it

Mine was doing this for a while. Mainly when it was up to normal operating temp. Would be sitting at the lights idling, idle would start hunting and boost guage flapping around too of course, then if I gave throttle a stab it'd settle down, but if I didn't it'd stall. Ended up being intake manifold gasket.

While you're at it with the carby cleaner on the AFM, have your car idling (if possible) and spray a bit of the carby cleaner around your intake manifold and if your car's rev's suddenly pick up, could have a leak. Otherwise, scratch another possibility off the list :thumbsup:

Good luck.

Yeah my money is still on a vaccum leak.. the common areas to look for the leak are vaccum hoses (there are some fiddly little ones under the throttlebody, I had one that kept popping off giving me the same symptoms the OP is quoting), throttlebody gasket, intake manifold gasket (between the halves).

As stormy suggested, get the carby cleaner out and start spraying.

As others have suggested it could be fuel pump/filter related, particularly fuel pump if you still have the stocker with the variable voltage feed.

Hey mate i had the exact same thing for awhile, was very dangerous especially when car would cut out while going around corners meaning no power steering or even brakes as these all depend on the car being on. It only started happening after i put a BOV on and had a custom Stainless steel Air intake pipe installed that replaced the original rubber piping. The rubber piping is designed with contour design that helps prevent air being forced back out the wrong way. So when my foot was down it would suck in air as it should past the AFM than the moment i remove my foot the left over air would rush back down the pipe causing the AFM to think something arong and causing the car to stall.

I was also told it may be a BOV issue but i had a small almost reverb cone installed inside the pipe and since than i have not had any problems since. Not that costly and helped.

Good luck with your problem mate im sure you will find the exact cause of your problem on here soon.

By the way a temp fix is to always blip the throttle a bit when going into neutral, well it was for me anyway... Sometimes needed two blips but didn't ever fully stall after I found that out :(

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
