hey guys not sure if this is the right place to post this but i have recently picked up my R34 GTT with very minor modifications to the engine and for some reason for the past 3 days in a row as i am driving or stopped at traffic lights it has seems to stall...

at first i thought typical RB (random bullshit) ;)

but now im not sure. i know the batt is on its way out but i didnt think that could make it do this??

it on has a KN air filter on it and thats about it...

any help or ideas or if this has happen to anyone else please let me know.

thanks heaps in advance for any advice :)

Do you have an aftermarket atmospheric blow off valve? Put the stock one back on and your problem is fixed.

Or try cleaning the AAC(Auxiliary Air Control) valve... it bypasses some air through when your foot is off the throttle.

And maybe clean your air flow meter with some electrical contact cleaner.

There is a tutorial on how to clean the AAC valve in the DIY section of the forum, just search.

How do you know the battery is on it's way out? Could be the alternator...

Could also be a bad earth..

My stag was having trouble starting in the mornings and would randomly cut out or stall at lights, thought the alternator was dying.. turned out it was one of the earth leads back to the battery, the wingnut that was holding it onto the clamp was loose :D

Very true.

If the battery is dying that could well be a symptom. Check the battery and alternator with a multimeter, make sure you aren't missing any volts between the alternator and the battery. If there are more volts at the alternator then there are at the battery, check your earth and positive wiring, could be a bad connection or corrosion.

Alternator should be producing 14.2v while charging

^^^ thanks for your thoughts, my fiance got home last night and the batt terminal for the power was corroded, so he cleaned it up and it found to be loose so that would explain things. it hasnt missed a beat today which is great :(

well here is an update. it was fine for nearly 2 days because he cleaned the terminals and tightly sercured the terminal as it was a little loose after getting rid of the corrosion and then last night as we were going for a drive it happened AGAIN :(

we were travelling at 60 in 5th in a residential area and then all of a sudden the car lost a little bit of power and the slip light came on.... but it was only that light!! it was weird cause we have already been driving for at least 1 or 2 hours...

any light in this would be great, now i know the batt is still not the best but thats getting replaced next week.

thanks guys :P

Take it to a specialist garage. If the slip light is coming on but you aren't breaking any traction then you could have error codes. They can run a scan for you and find out.

Oh and at least put stock GT-T wheels on instead of those massive heavy abortion bling things hanging off your nice car.

I'm a muppet am I? Who cares If someone built my car it's a cefiro good luck findin a stock one and I'd hardly call it built when it's got a 250 horse sr20 coilovers and a bodykit that just manages to chirp 3rd. Ha yep that's it I just spend hours cruising from lights to lights hoping to race standard skylines I was honestly to busy perving on ur ex missus.

But seriously who cares if she has chrome wheels. Ur the only person who can relate a stall problem to rims so maybe in reality your the muppet

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
