Hey guys,

having an issue with my s15 (sr20det).. no idea where to start :\ similar issues seen with skylines so yeah..

Car is choking while cruising, feels like its going to stall eventually. Was fine all week until Thurs night and then got progressively worse.

Seems worse at 60km/hr or low speed than 80km/hr. If I thrash it, it seems ok..? Maybe?

Maybe a related issue that has been going on for a few weeks is when braking to red light, sometimes the revs drop to about 200, cpl of times it has actually stalled on the freeway in heavy traffic/freeway carpark.

Have looked at every hose (I think), cannot see a vacuum hose off anywhere..

I thought AFM for the choking issue but swapped it yesterday with a friends and no difference.

Plugs were done a few months ago, pulled them out, they seem ok, asked 2 ppl for advice they said they look ok as well..

What else to check?

Another friend said o2 sensor but I think my fuel economy would be shit if it was that.

No idea when the fuel filter was last done as I haven't had this car long, would that be an issue?

Im thinking ignition or fuel at this point but not sure..

Thanks for any help :(

hmm ok the only hoses i havent checked is the FMIC joiners at the bottom.. will check today

I'm in westside melb..

hmm ok well im going to Autobarn to get fuel filter soon...

Gawd at this point it has not been narrowed down, I'm only getting more suggestions lol.. thats helpful but not, at the same time lol :(

I would try fuel filter first also check pump flow a mechanic shop should be able to do this one other thing could be the cat could be blocked. Might be worth putting it on the dyno and removing the exhaust and checking the rest

try a new fuel filter.

is there any kind of EGR (exhaust gas return) on the car? it may be that it needs to be cleaned out. i know that is a common issue with the natro sr20's.

also try unplugging the o2 sensor and seeing what that does.

finally, is the car auto or manual?

changed fuel filter today.. noticeable improvement in driving tonight but not sure if it's fixed it.. will test more tomorrow when going to work.. I suspect not tho it seemed to start faltering a little bit..

EGR.. nfi.

hmm cat blocked.. thats a possibility.. fuuuu so many things to check :(

need to borrow consult and see what it says.. tho from prev experience (180/r32) it usually has no faults lol, so may prove worthless..

did you clean the POD filter recently? i used a k&N recharge kit on mine once and applied to much oil which in turn stufed my MAF sensor give it a good clean with crc MAF cleaner and see how it goes i took it to 5 different mechanics wasted money on CAS coils Ignitor fuel pump then to find it was the MAF

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
