Hey Guys, I'm new to this and joined to see if anybody could help me. I have a skyline gtst r33 and recently it started stalling with out any reason (it's automatic trans.). Whether the engine is hot or cold or while driving it'll just stall. I went to Sinergymotor Sport and told them to do a service and check what's going on. They didn't find any ECU fault codes. Fuel pressure no fault when road tested with fuel pressure gauge. Has anything like that happened to anyone before? The shop just told me to come back when the fault becomes more regular as it only stalled twice for them and then just run perfect. After picking the car up from them it stalled on the way home while driving. I live in Oakden SA. If you can maybe recommend to see a workshop that is in the area or have any other suggestions.

No its pretty much standard.

It's either standard or not. Not pretty much standard .

Time and time again people say their cars standard, and a few pages in we find out there's something not standard about it that causes the issue.

I'm not being a dick. Are there any mods?

Sorry mate. No there isn't any mods except for a nismo exhaust.

Ok. Intermittent problems totally suck. The two things I would be looking at are the afm and the cas.

Starting with the afm clean it, Google how to.

You don't want to be buying parts at random, so ideally you could try a borrow a known working one before buying your own.

^^ as mentioned above. Give the AFM a good clean, take it for a run and see how that goes.

Also by getting Synergy to do a service, what was done as part of the servicing?

Stalling is a known issue with the BOV being blocked off, even though I have yet to experience it for myself as yet.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
