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

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
