Need To Advice On Car Stalling

hi guys,

just wondering if anyone knows why my auto r33 gts skyline is stalling. This has happened on about 3 occasions now over a period of about 6 months.

Wanna know why this is so as this gets pretty scary sometimes

Once when i was doing about 20 kms rolling and the whole car just shut off and the radio turned off in the car.

Another time the car turned off when i was stationary at traffic lights while i was in drive, the clock in my car was still on but it turned my radio off.When i finally got it going again by putting the car in park and starting it as usual(press imobiliser then turn key) the radio still had all the channels and didnt reset and yet others times it does reset channels.Also the hazard lights still worked on every occasion.This time but when i turned it felt like it was chuggin to get started with the key like it had a flat battery but eventually started up.

Also the alarm goes off byitself sometimes, i slammed the door and it would engage even if it wasnt activated by me and the antenna stayed up on the car. strange

Is this an electrical problem , or could this be caused by maybe the batteries in the alarm remote maybe going dead and they need to be changed and is causing everything to go stupid. cant see why this would shut off the engine though

anyone shed some light on this topic, kinda puzzled

im guessing its a electrical problem maybe something with ur immobilizer or loose connections on your battery, but then i dont see why it would do it once here and there, how often does it do it?

it does it randomly like, this happened 3 times in about 6 months, its not often but i dont know when it could happen next thats the scary part,

I thought it would be loose connections on the battery terminals but they are all fine,

Sounds like an old battery dying... I had this problem with my car, replaced the battery and it was fine.

i thought that aswell , but when the car is running isnt the alternator powering up the battery anyway and if the battery was dieing the car wouldnt start im assuming

i may try that if there are no other options

check your battery connections, battery quality ( dying, low water etc)

otherwise check you tps, crank angle and AFM. check for any loose plugs.

have you done any mods.. pod filter, shortened intake pipe etc ?

check your engine bay fuses too, make sure your alternator plug hasnt fallen off or loose.

3 times over 6 months isnt too bad maybe its outa gas or injectors blocked causing it to conk out.

sounds like a wire or fuse or sensor or battery terminals loose or corroded tho

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
