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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
