When I hold my foot on the break to come to a complete stop, hard or soft, the car after it hits a certain amount of revs it kinda pulls the car forward as I pull up at the lights.

If I just hold the break peddle down quite hard the revs drop a fair bit and than pops back up. You feel the car being pulled a bit more forward without doing anything different. Whats the go? Lol. I have to, after I press the break paddle, loosen my foot off the peddle so the car doesnt drop in the revs. Still pulls the car forward...

Also another thing that might have something to do with that ^^^ I was driving it the other night not fast just normal and I felt it lagging pretty bad like it didnt want to idle any higher than all of a sudden, I stopped at the traffic lights like normal and pulled off from them and the car struggled to even move. I pushed the peddle all the way in than all the way out. Nothing! It moved but not very fast or even above 20km/h. It was like dying on me I swear. I was so worried cause I dont know what it was.. Its happened once before yet ive only had the car what like two weeks. I turned the car off straight after it lagged like that for about 10 minutes and it was fine but I know it wasnt normal. Hate stressing bout it :(

Well I need new bearings but no where is cheap enough for me as im struggling a bit on money... :S Does that mean anything? Do you recon the full body throttle needs a good cleaning?

Have u ever tightened the accelerater cable at all?

It was in snow like the setting haha. Maybe that had something to do with it lagging... mmm lol. and Im wondering if theres some sort of non stock system put in my car where if i just sit there in drive the car randomly tries to go forward with me just holding the break and ive noticed if i pull the steering wheel to the left or right it does the same thing where it revs up and tries to move the car forward like it wants to go somewhere but im not doing it. Really weird.... Does anyone know what it could be? Thanks

Ok, resisting the urge to make fun of you being a woman right now, I'll try to help :P

I don't really understand your description of the first issue, so I'll leave that one alone. The second issue, the lagging, sounds like a misfire. Especially if it stopped after you turned the car off and on again. So did the car sound any different? Like a WRX sort of sound? I would be checking spark plugs. Potentially coilpacks as well but that's generally associated with high rpm misfires rather than low load.

As for your last post... It doesn't sound like there is any actual issue there. Automatic cars will move as soon as you take your foot off the brake, that's the stall point of the torque converter. And turning the steering wheel in a car with power steering puts load on the engine, so the revs need to go up with it.

Of course I may have completely misinterpreted your descriptions and I'm way off lol. If you could get a video of said problems then that may help thumbsup.gif

Yes I may be a girl but I do know a bit about cars just the things I post on here im just double checking that its all good :blush:

Yes I understand that whole thing with autos its just in my last car which no wasnt a skyline but it never did anything like that. Older yes and not a drift car haha. So I talked to a mate of mine and he said its not normal for the revs to go up like it did.. Just sitting there the car tried to pull itself forward when I did absolutely nothing.. It does it sometimes.. You see the idle moving a bit to.. And I did a service on it thinking it would do something.. The car just runs better but does the same stupid shit lol. The sprak plugs were chenged, oil and coolant and filters and the coil paacks are new so no problem there.. I thought the revs doing that was normal for a skyline because i thiought it does it to help you turn corners but the whole just sitting there on the spot the car tries to go forward on its own aint normal haha

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
