Pretty hard to tell without an accurate description... But yes it sounds like your coilpacks. If they are still OEM and done over 100k kms, with a little bit of moisture they tend to f**k out. When mine went, I had just washed my car, drove fine until I tried to give it shit, then it felt almost like boost cut, no power at all.

If it was doing it all the time, check your fuel pump/filter. Maybe you were starving it of fuel.

Yeah they are standard coil packs it was real strange tho wasn't a misfire it was like it was a complete dead spot when I I pressed the accelerator it was like the car was off no miss nothing just a dead spot

So was it just a certain point in the power band or it just wouldn't accellerate at all ever? Or would it drive normally if you babyed it, and only 'died' when you tried to rev it a bit?

Alternator should provide all the voltage needed while car is running. Technically you could remove a battery once the car is started and not notice anything.

Check the links at the battery terminal

Maybe cam or crank angle sensor?

My vy did the same thing, only the engine stopped completely and I had to restart the car. No noise, no splutter - just died.

Turned out to be the distribution module underneath the coilpacks, which got the signal from the crank angle.

There's a link for ECU there, pull that out and the engine will shut off. Happened to me on my R31 and R32. Don't know about the newer cars.

Yes you can pull the battery out, just remember where the alternator wire connects to.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of that wire. Disregard me then.

Sounds the same as what mine is doing. Completely cuts out, like it cuts the ignition, could pump the throttle and nothing. Then it comes back running perfect like it never happened.

thats exactly wat its doing... i started it yesterday and it didnt miss a beat i have no idea what it could be :/ anyone have any ideas? could it be a an airflow meter ? coilpack?

same thing happend to mine , was the AFM. I swapped it over with a working one and has run fine ever since. I would start with the cheapest and easiest options first then move on to the harder and more expensive items.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
