Hello everyone! I'm new here and it's my first post, Hoping there are people with more knowledge than me here to help with an issue I currently have with my 96 r33 gtst.

The car cuts out at idle after exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds every time. Hot or cold.. but restarts every time no issue. I have tried two MAF's and running it unplugged and still cuts out the same time. I have tried direct earth for the fuel pump incase there was an issue there and again same time to cut out.

Thr exhaust gas temp light is on but from what I'm aware that doesn't impact the running of the car, or so I have read. It has a decat, front mount intercooler, hks dump valve and rising sun ecu I belive. Other than that it's standard.

I have also tested various sensors such as coolant temp etc and everything seems fine. Just thought before I dive deeper there might be someone that goes "oh yeah I had that before it's this.."

Thanks in advance!

It stops just like turning the key, no spluttering or anything like that. I'll have a look after work today for anything abnormal wired under the dash although it was running fine for the previous owner apparently. But its a possibility!

And I should have asked, when it stops do you have "reds" on the dash (like before you go from IGN to Start) or is the dash blank like you turned the key off. Again, second option suggests something electrical is stopping the car, Reds suggest a stall

      Timing map only tells part of the story, I've seen a few cars where the CAS has been adjusted so you might see 12 at the ECU but at the motor you could be seeing 8 kind of thing. A S15 I converted from PowerFC to Nistune had just that, CAS was turned back to have less timing than the ignition map itself lol... "Choonered".

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
