Okay I'm asking because I have no idea what to search for.. :(

I was just driving around today, just cruising, not flogging it or anything. But as I was pulling out of a parking lot, my car stalled! :(

It's a 1999 r34 25GT manual. I serviced it not too long ago, coil packs and spark plugs were replaced around 2000km ago.

When I restarted the car, it started idling around 1000rpm, but then started to drop and the engine would shutter then completely konk out. I tried to restart a couple of times but it wouldn't work.

I left it for about 15 mins, restarted it and it worked perfectly.

I tried bridging the consult cable to get the fault codes, it came up 55 which from memory is no faults..

Last time something like this happened to me was when I owned a magna, and that turned out to be the idle control valve.. But apparently if that was my problem then the engine shouldn't restart.

Does anyone have an idea on what it could be? Please help

      Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
