lots of people have this exact problem. Have a look at the stick thread "THIS LOW RPM ENGINE STALLING SAGA POSSIBLY SORTED"

I have heard of people wiring the pump to run at full capacity all the time, turning up the idle speed, cleaning the AFM/AAC's and many more other solutions. Some people on skylines downunder even suggest that it is air reversion back through the AFM.

My car had the exact same problem and I have virtually changed the car back to stock and it still happens (but very rarely). I changed:

Turbosmart BOV Type III to Stock

Blitz pod to Stock air box with K&N air filter

Replaced the tiny battery with something more powerful

Changed all vacuum hoses

Adjusted the idle speed to about 850 rpm

Cleaned the AFM

My car rarely stalls and I'm happy with it, except the noisy lifters but I am going to fix that.

I have found that a stall is more likely to happen when I have my lights and lots of electrical gizmos going

Aftermarket bov's will cause that too happen initially coz they have a spring tension setting and obviously isnt set to your car or boost setting blah blah, when its adjusted correctly i dont beleive this stalling is an issue. Well my personal thoughts anyway

put your stock bov back on and see if it stalls? :^)

however i *did* have this problem on my series II 33, had the stock bov on and it was never changed. no pod or anything, even stock exhaust. took it to workshop got a full retune and it was fine after that. i couldn't pull up at the lights without it stalling

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
