My 91 R32 GT-R runs perfect but every once and awhile while I’m cruising the car will lose power like you shut the car off for less than a second. It’s like the ignition system quicks working and then works. 

 

No engine code or anything. And it’s so quick that I can’t seem to catch anything on my logs to get a idea of what it is. 

 

Power FC ecu with Data loggit  new plugs, coil harness, ground kit , new battery, soon new coils  

 

 

what could it be?

Just  cruising on the highway typically when it happens. Like 115-120

Ok, that may not be the issue then. If they're not under load, i wouldn't expect them to fail. Does it ever happen when you accelerate (or seem worse under load?)
 

If it's not that, I would be looking at my battery connections and earthing points (as an easy way to check things out). Certainly my car can be a bit temperamental to crappy earthing connections. If it seems to happen over bumps check this out.

Otherwise, listen to other people on here, i'm sure someone has experienced this before. :)

Yeah never under load. Never over bumps. 

 

Battery connections are solid and new. Grounding kit using 8 gauge wire to block. Head. Intake. Valve cover. Injector rail and body all straight to the battery.

Well, to be honest, I don't know then. If you're confident in your basic electrics, that's where my expertise ends. 

I'd rather not guess through the Internet about someone else's issues. I hope you find the issue. It's a shame when they aren't quite running right, or you feel you can't trust a car. 
Good luck. :D

Yep I think the random Power FC ghost misfire also. Had exactly what was described on my 33 gtr with a brand new GTR33L 8.04a version that I purchased around 2006. Never under power, light throttle only. Bought another new one around 2015 when the EL controller came out and it fixed it. Still in there now. Code still says it's version 8.04a though so they should have been identical, but after the second one went in it never happened again. Same tune carried across from fc datalogit too. Might have been a bad batch around that time with different PCB type or manufacture, different processor, internal code ect. as if you google it there is heaps if people reporting the same issue.

All I know is the latest one definitely fixed it. Never happened with the old RB26, PRO or the 33D code ones as I have had all of them on my 32 before(which has now been replaced by a Haltech Elite 2500)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
