Which mechanics/electricians have you taken it to?

I have been taking my car to EAS Performance in Airport West for the past 3 years and have found him to be very compatent with imports. He has vast experience in both mechanical and electrical, so may have a better chance to sort out your problem. Contact me by PM if you are interested.

Your discription is WAY too vague so b4 posting shit like this;

.....considering this is a Skyline website and ppl CLAIM to know wat they are talking about!!
i suggest you give a full discription of your car specs and mods. Also when seeking help it is not a good idea to be a smart ar5e!

Could be a dry/dodgy solder joint in the ECU, my sister's old Bluebird had this problem, Nissan took ages to diagnose the fault (as it was intermittant like yours), in the end they gave the ECU to someone who tidied up the joints, problem solved.

Different behaviour in different temperatures is indicative of ECU problems, as components expand and contract slightly the problem will show itself.

As per everyones elses comments check for wiring shorts, especially if you've had any electrical gear installed recently (alarm, stereo etc). Your comment about the fact that electrics stay on may or may not rule out a short - if the short is brief the ECU may reset without you noticing the effect of the short on anything else.

Best plan of attack if you suspect an ECU fault it to go to an auto sparky who has experience with Skylines and who hopefully has a spare ECU. Swap yours out and see if the problem goes away.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone else has heard of or had the problem where your car shuts itself off during driving?

Its does it in warmer weather or after giving it a thrashing?

Any help would be good because no Auto Electricians or Mechanics have any idea.

Cheers.

Its your O2 sensor up in the engine bay man..... either the wiring or the sensor it self. I had the same drama for months on end.... and i read on this site that a good substitute can be from a ford EF-EL (much cheaper) check this; http://www.meggala.com/partcss.htm Don't visit the forums much so if you need me to put you on to the boys that fixed my car then email; [email protected]

Mine was doing exactly the same. Mine is a stock GTS-t. Seemed to do it more in the hot weather. Pain in the arse hey? Annoyed the heck out of me. I took me about 3 months of troubleshooting to narrow it down to the AFM. I pulled it apart myself, not as scary as everyone was saying, and found that the solder was dodgy, so resoldered it and never ever had a problem since that day 2 years ago(knock on wood). I'm not very mech techincal, but don't mind getting my hands dirty, so if i can do it so can you. Happy to help you if you PM me.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
