hey everyone,

im new to skylines australia but hav had me 33gtst series 1 for a good few years (sori if this looks dodge as im not sure how to use forums) but lately ive had the problem of the car just losing power and stalling for no reason, no throttle response during its dummy spit, sometimes if im lucky i can get the power back but not always!!!!

i have replaced the fuel filter recently but hav replaced 6 months ago the coilpacks, nismo intank fuel pump, spark plugs. hav checked for vacuum leaks when i did a forward facing plenum so all hoses were replaced, plus if it was a leak itd run like crap at idle, hav also put through injector cleaner and hav tried different 98 octane brands incase of dirty fuel! stil hav no idea, (thinking air flow meter now) but if anyone can help or has had this problem can u please help????

It sounds like an ignition cut, not sure a faulty afm would stop the motor but check it anyway, so so what DVS32R said. Also if you have a turbo timer check it. Does it still have fuel to the cylinders when this happens? Could be ECU and injectors?

When it happens. How do u get it driving again?

Im thinking afm or ignitor. Both can be affected when they heat up

My R33 S1 runs a 0-100 in 9 seconds when warm... total different car when I first start it up let the oil circulate and put my foot down. I siliconed up the coilpacks, spark plugs are ok but when its warm it runs like crap. The pod is sucking air in from the engine bay and perhaps this could be fixed with an AFM swap? I know the RB30's had big problems with the AFM's. Maybe it will be another thing to check once I have done the wasted spark setup/new plugs.

mine used to this as well, was very random and i never figured out what it was but it stopped doin it...

I think it has something to do with the solder in the AFM, pretty sure there is a tutorial somehere about how to fix it as well..

EDIT>>>something like this one..

I had a similar issue with mine, it would run like poo sometimes and other times it would run awesome, if you stopped at a set of lights it would sometimes just turn itself off, replaced the AFM and no problems after that. Then it came back again, but it was a bit different because it usually happened when driving at night time we could notice the lights dimming, turned out to be one of the amps powering a sub, removed it all and ran a 12" on a smaller amp and it was fine.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
