The other night i was giving the GTR full throttle and when i backed off it just stuck there bouncing off the limiter :O. My pedal was not stuck, this was the first thing i checked before shutting the engine off. When i restarted it was fine, it was going ok so i gave it 80% throttle still fine, so i tried full throttle again and it stuck again.

now i had a look under the bonnet, butterfly linkages move freely fine, however the very last butterfly near the firewall had a plug from the wiring loom rubbing against it, now i THINK that this was causing the issue because ive since moved it away and it may have fixed the problem but ive only given it full throttle a couple times since and it hasn't stuck.

the motor is built but the only part unknown is the oil pump, which makes me not wanna risk this problem happening again, any input or theory is welcome.

what i cant understand is when i shut the engine off and on again it was no longer stuck, if the electrical plug was wedged up against the butterfly jamming it from springing back i cant see how it would free up after turning the engine off and on again. for now im gonna spray up all the moving parts i can see without ripping things off with some CRC.

^^ It does? you got pre-ignition, torn engine mounts or something equally as stupid going on.

op.. seems you have fixed your own problem.

abit of exageration, but it will rock enough to loosen itself surely.

I hit the limiter all the time with my N1 pump!

But ye, it'll be that piece of loom by the sound of it.

I had it happen with a stray hose on my RB25 years ago, no idea how the hose even got loose/into where it did. Mysteries :)

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
