R33 Gtr Cutting Out Randomly, Ideas?

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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
