Hey all,

2 days ago I was driving out of my street, as I turned the corner my engine cut off. Same thing happened to me again today,

Now I've checked the alternator, all pipes, the battery I have a full tank, fuses are good, Did engine code check nothing came up,

The only thing I can think of is I have a remote start alarm, do u reckon when they installed it it was a dodgy?

Or does anyone else have a simialr problem or experiences this or knows someone who has?

Thanks guys,

Oh n I took it to Nissan already n the couldn't find a problem...

Check your AFM. Had/having a similar prob with my car and even though it's turbo the symptoms sounds similar.

Does your car simply stall like you have turned it off, or does it start running rough and then slowly die? A bit more info about the circumstances under which it's happening will help.

Ok so it just dies a little after I've driven, n like the 4th time I was only backing out of my driveway I got stuck half on the road half on the driveway... and it's not a turbo, at a 25 GT lol...

Umm, also it seems to happen when it hasnt been driven for a few hours,?

Uhh..

oh and a critical bit of info, it's an automatic...

I got a Python alarm installed in October, of last year so 4 myths ago... The first time the alarm went off was a week ago I dunno if that would have anything to do with it nyw..

N sometimes the revs drop to 400rpms then it cuts off but mostly it happens straight away.

when my car use to be NA Auto in my 34 i had this exact same problem.. For me it turned out to be a very rare electrical problem.. I didn't know very much about cars as i do now but back then i never found out what the cause was but i got it fixed at an auto elec after a mechanic spent a few days trying to figure it out and had no luck turned out to be an electrical issue causing the car to turn off

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be my crank angle sensor which caused low idle so it wouldn't catch the revs sometimes when slowing down. You could try raise your idle speed slightly to see if it fixes it for the time being

Mayb the ignition thing where I insert the keys is loose,?

I like my keychains,

Should u b able to turn ur car off whilst in drive?

Sounds dodgy cause I can,

Maybe the lock Is broken,?

Yeah I don't know a lot about it pretty basic stuff but I'm learning with help from u guys thnx ^_^

From my own experie, i have had same problem as you and i fixed this recently, my battery terminals were really loose and even though i tighten them they go really loose again and every bump i hit or a corner my car will shut off so i changed both possitive and negative terminals and that problem fixed, next problem was i am driving on freeway and my car just shut off wouldnt stay on even when gear was in so i went emergency lane and tried to start my car, it would start so i called my friend we figure out it was my turbo timer that kept my car from starting and all dash lights were on but car didint start so turned off turbo timer and it started dunno if it was just once off thing but left turbo timer off and cars never had problem anymore touch wood, but i havent fixed that problem as long as it off car is sweet,

lol I didn't get this much help when I was having a similar problem......i'm running the wrong gender :P

It sounds like something simple enough and if the solution is not clear, you should just work you way through the options starting at the least expensive. Give your AFM and air filter a good clean out and check the plug is making good contact/not fouled up. Then move up the list.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
