My 1990 GTR was fine a few weeks ago, only work that was done was that we removed the airbox and both AFMs and tightened down a loose bolt on the charge pipe to fix a leak.  Put everything back together, warmed it up for about 20 minutes (cold here now), then took it out.  When coming up to a stop sign, rather briskly, the 4wd and Anitlock dash lights came on followed by a complete loss of power.  Car started right back up just fine and does not lose power when its moving forward, only when stopping, and its random.  More frequently than not though.  Any thoughts on what the issue could be? Car is all stock.

Thanks for the tip, opened opened the first one and looks ok, but put some new fresh solder on the connectors since I was in there.  Gonna open up the second on and take a look tomorrow.  Hoping that fixes the problem.  I'll post an update soon.

Problem has been resolved.  Stepped back and thought about this issue logicially...the problem that was seen was symptomatic to running out of gas.  The car has a full tank so thinking the problem was due to fuel delivery.  Checked all injectors and all were good, and then changed the fuel filter out.  After draining the fuel filter into an empty water bottle, it was completely black with chunks of gunk coming out of it!  I'm thinking that the fuel feed was being restricted due to the old fuel filter, causing the car to stall out.  Just my .02 cents but at least its working now without the constant engine shutdown.  Also cleaned out the IAC valve and replaced the non-existent gasket.  This may or may not have helped, but couldn't have hurt since it was covered in carbon.  Hope my situation can help someone out!  Pictures of what came out of the fuel filter attached.  Thanks!

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
