ok guyz..i got a problem..a serious problem...

i was wondering if u guyz can help me?

ok i bought my GTR on tuesday ;)

i had to jump start it cuz it hasnt been driven for 2 weeks.

once i jumpstarted it ,i was on my way home.

around liverpool about 30mins into my journey home....

the car just shut it self off in the middle of the road..

making my GTR look like a POS :D

anyway...i manged to push it off to the side of the road and bought new batteries..and replcaed it on the road...the car fired up after the replacement battery...i gave it a bit of rev..

it'll rev till 5K and then stop..once i drop the revs the car will shut it self again...

only this time i can start the car over and over again.

i managed to get it through the busy sydney traffic and to my mechaics place..

today after 2 days i've bought it...the AFM's once though were at fault were not at fault nor the ECU

now i am really running out of ideas...

i was wondering if any1 could help me..

currently the car is running super rich blowing balck smoke like a chimney

and refuses to rev past 3g the car it self has done less than 500 KM's since brought in.

and it shouldnt do it again... if it does then i dont hab a clue

unless u got the wrong batteries

First things first your car only has one battery. There is no way that it will be your throttle bodies (yes you have 6) the rb26 has a multi throttle body setup to enhance throttle response. Throttle bodies being dirty wouldn't be an issue. In extreme cases they mite hamper performance if the airflow is being restricted, but in no way could they cut the engine completely. The chance of it being an o2 sensor problem is also slim as they only trim the mixture. id more inclined to check for air leaks after the afm's in all the intake plumbing that would make it run rich but i doubt it would completely cut out. It depends on how much has been modified on the car too. Like sumone said it could be the ECU especially if its an aftermarket unit playing up. Best thing to do is take it to a fuel system expert.

    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.  
    • Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
