R32 GTR Shuts off driving

I'm having an issue with my '89 R32 GTR. Twice now it has shut off completely while driving and after about 25 or 30 minutes it will finally start up again. This has happened after taking a hard pull and then coasting with the clutch pushed in. After pushing in the clutch the rpms blip a thousand or so and then go down to normal and then a mile or so down the road the car just shuts off. I can continually try to start the car and it will try to turn over but won't start until about 25 or 30 minutes later it will just start up. After it happens the car drives normal and reaches full boost and full power no problem. It was about a week or so between the 2 issues. Originally I thought it was an issue with the alternator which was found to be bad, so that was replaced with an upgraded Nissan Quest unit. Even with the boost turned all the way down on the ebc, it will fluctuate between 19psi and about 21psi. Is that normal to not have a dead on reading all the time? It was at 20.8 psi when it shut off the last time.

It is frustrating because I was doing hard pulls earlier and had no issues. I had done hard pulls in the week or so between the 2 instances and didn't have a problem. If anyone have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

Car has:

HKS GTIII SS turbos

Tomei Expreme Outlet Pipe

HKS Front Pipe

R33 Catalytic Converter

HKS Silent Hi-Power Exhaust

Apexi Power Intake Kit

Nismo Fuel Pump with rewire

Injector Dynamics 725cc Injectors

R34 Coilpacks and conversion on Wiring Specialties harness to remove Ignition Module

Link ECU using built in map sensor with mafs disabled, o2 sensor removed and tuned for wideband

HKS Vcam

HKS 264 Exhaust Camshaft

Greddy Profec B EBC

Awesome thanks. I will try and test the CAS.

Any suggestions on the boost issue? Is it possible the turbos are flowing too well with less restrictions in the exhaust, causing an increase in the boost? The shop I have work on it say that it's dead on 19 psi on the dyno and that it isn't a boost leak but on the street it goes over 19 psi.

I had an AEM boost solenoid being controlled by the link but with the boost issues it was hitting boost cut and I thought it was easier to be able to make adjustments on my own with the profec instead of a laptop with software I didn't understand. As soon as the boost issues are resolved I plan on going back to the link controlling the boost though. Also I wasn't sure if the link was originally having issues controlling the Vcam and the boost at the same time with it spooling so quickly.

Thank you for the graph. That looks pretty smooth on your boost. I think I have gotten my boost issue figured out. The first shop I had work on it forgot to remove the brass pill from the line so now that it's gone it only fluctuates between 1.21 bar and 1.32 bar. Now just waiting to see if the cas issue is fixed.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
