My mate was out test driving an R33 Series1 Skyline and giving a little bit to see how it went but when it got to 6grand the car cut out and the revs would drop untill he took his foot completely off the throttle and then back on again... It did this everytime, he left his foot on it one time and the car droped to about 3,500rpm and was still droping... The car was completely stock and just imported, it had bout 80,000km on it. Any idea whats causing this would be helpful.

the car would not have had much driving since delivered to aus and even then you wouldnt know how long it was just sitting in japan.

the element in the afm might be dirty

could be anything

but if he hasnt bought it tell him to just look for another, its not worth the trouble to buy a new used car and then have to fix it.......

well the standard vacume/boost gauge was at 7 but thats as far as the gauge went so it could of been running higher boost without showing it, however the car didnt feel very quick, i mean its the only skyline i been in but it was only about as quick as my commodore 5ltr which is all standard and i figure if boost was up a skyline should easily be quicker... but then im not in a possition to really know... he hasnt bought it and yeah he is looking for another... I just found it odd!

when u say the standard guage goes up to 7+ if this is true that is around 14 psi

the standard guage doesnt read in psi,if it is hitting 7+ your running a little too much boost and probably hitting boost or feul limit

does it have a boost controller?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
