Check your CAS mate, mine was busted with very similar symptoms: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326043-resolved-misfire-in-r34-gtt-rb25det-neo/

Edited by V28VX37

It started happening lastnight it did it twice and then when i drove it this morning it was happening slightly again but after driving for 10 minutes it started completely dying its normally around take off, at one point i was at the lights and i reves the engine up slowly and when it hit around 2.2k revs it started to shutter then when i took of from the lights slowly 5 metres up it started shuttering bad its feels like when you tap the accelerator hard, i had to pull over because the accelarator was keeping it at 1.5-2k revs and not going any higher i turned the car on and off tryed reving it a few more times it finally worked got 15 metres around the corner it started jerking and doing the same thing and the engine light came on i pulled over turned it off tryed to look for a problem turned it back on and it reved up fine and i made it home from there which is a 5 minute drive but it was slugging and shuttering most the way

Just my two cents but I had a afm issue not long ago and ended up having to replace it, it's a very fragile part and even by cleaning it they can be damaged. If it is your afm I suggest replacing it with one that definitely works 100%. A slight bump can kill them so be careful

it was doin it a bit the night before and i cleaned the afm the next day before i went on the short drive, 10 minutes later it was still bad then just got alot worse,ill look into getting a new afm see if that helps at all, i saw similar problems last night where it was coil packs, could it be my coil packs aswell ? Thanks for the help guys i really apreciate it

Just a quick update guys went to start car this morning kept wanting to die and would not at all go past 2k revs i pop the bonnet try bush the afm cord in and it dies, so i took the cord out and put it back into the connection now she will rev normal, so definately has to be afm

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
