Hi Guys.

Basically I am having a problem with my R33 GTR. What happens is that it would run great, then intermittently it would cut out, the revs would go all the way to 0 that it's barely idling then turn off. At this stage normally takes maybe 20 seconds until the car will start. It mainly has done it to me at the lights, keeping the revs up sometimes helps.

When I try to drive it when this happens it's extremely low on power, walking pace. There is no black smoke.

It's not load based, as normally when I have the car under load it wont do it, so I'm discounting coil packs or spark plugs.

I have tried another Ignition module but the problem re-appeared.

When it happens, it would be idling, then you hear the revs drop slightly and come back up, and then a few seconds later it just bogs right down and eventually dies.

Has anybody had a similar problem and what could it be?

Thanks.

If your afms are original there is a good chance a quick touch up with the soldering iron will help. The solder dries up over time with the heat cycles the rb26 experiences and connections get dodgy. My car suddenly experienced the same issues you mentioned. I used this guide from memory http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/113284-Fixing-Your-Rb26-Afm's

OK Well I've now done the solder on the AFM's, joints looked good but I still dropped new solder on all of them.

The Top AFM plug would cause the engine to surge but not cutout totally when wiggles, so I tightened the pins on the plug itself but that could be a totally different issue, as this causes the car to cut out totally and not restart.

I tried starting the car without any AFM's at all and the car can start and idle fine, so my issue does not appear to be caused by AFM's by the looks of it.

Next up is either Ignition module, or cam angle sensor.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
