Hi. I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have a 32 gts-t with a stalling problem. The problem occurs when the car is idling, or slowing down to idle (eg at lights). It runs OK sometimes, and then others it will drop in revs and just lose it, or it may drop in revs and then recover itself. I've replaced the AFM, O2 sensor, igniter and even the motor itself! It has the original BOV (not to atmosphere). We've checked the fuel pump and that's running fine. Injectors and coil pack have been replaced.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've read the other posts that cover stalling problems and haven't really had anything that relates to this situation.

If I can get ANY help on this it will be much appreciated.

Thanks

PS. The guy who had the car before me had some dodgy work done to it. Don't know if this may be a factor.

Heh - I'm having the EXACT same problem!!! Boostworx has got my car atm and has for the past 2 weeks trying to sort it out!!!

We've tryed averything, had the auto-elec there a million times, tryed second hand parts etc. Nothing! Finally he was going to try replacing the fuel pump, but he would have had to order in one. So instead I'm just getting him to install a Bosch 040 which I was going to do eventually anyway. Hopefully that'll fix it!

Thanks,

Adam

p.s. with the fuel pump it can be running fine but still be the problem due to intermitent earthing problems, instead of mucking around with wiriing etc I'm just replacing it (a worthwhile upgrade anyway if your ever going for any performance mods!).

Thanks Adam.

I've been wanting to put in a bigger fuel pump for a while, but didn't know how to get around the wife. This is a great excuse!!!! And of course we'll keep our fingers crossed that this is the solution to both our problems!!

Darren

PS. Let us know how you go with yours

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=408 This thread is about the same problem but it is in the forced induction section. as i understand it, the computer in the car senses when the car is on idle and to stop the noise of the fuel pump being so loud when idleing, the computer cuts voltage to the fuel pump from 100% to say 50% to keep the humming noise down. now when the car does this it causes them to stall or idle up and down sometimes causing stalling problems. my car does it aswell, but i havent fixed the problem yet. to fix this problem u have to get the earth wire off the fuel pump and re - earth it to the body of the car to get 100% voltage to the fuel pump all the time. in this thread it tell you how to do it. just read throughit. hope this helps you.

Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. I'm putting in another fuel pump today, and if that doesn't fix it i'll try the AAC valve and re-earthing. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!!

OK. Changed the fuel pump and still had the problem. So I earthed the pump to some bare metal in the boot and guess what:

IT STILL STALLS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AAC has also been changed.

I am at my wits end (to put it politely).

Please if you have any different suggestions, let me know.

Dont have your bov vent externally simple

My car has this problem and it only started after i fitted the bov that vents externally. I plan to vent the air back in in the future so i can put up with it for now, it happens very occasionally anyway.

if its of any interest i did read somewhere on either here or sdu about a procedure u can put the ecu thru to rasie the ide speed or something. maybe do some searching... good luck

i had a similar problem, darren

turned out that it was because i had cut wire 53 (to remove speed limiter) and the car just thought that was a terrible idea. would stall sometimes at low rpm for no reason.

might be worth checking it out

could be a broken wire somewhere in the loom. it sounds like you have enough cash to go searching so maybe invest in a brand new wiring loom?

good luck,

Waz.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
