I don’t know why my car keeps shutting itself or stalling but it’s a big issue when it is an auto. Anyway the story goes if my car is in neutral for 5mins then I press the brake its stall or if I go up a hill then I press brake its stall. Also I’ve notices one thing because it’s a R34 I have 3 gauges, the battery gauge always moves rapidly for no reason could the stalling comes from the grounding problem of is there a wiring problem? I really need help, please feel free to input your answer or any feedbacks but please no stupid comments.

My car will be in service this Friday but if I could fine out the problems I can talk to the guys at AUTOFORCE so they can sort it out for me.

Sounds like the battery might need to be changed I got a sim prob with a old EA I owned it would only just tick over and when I stoped it would die turned out to be the battery. So your battery gauge might be telling the truth just see how much life it has just before it stalls....

Just a thought.

Check your battery terminals for corrosion and also to make sure it's all bolted together tight.

I think it is wiring related, something has come loose. Your battery is probably ok or you would have mentioned that it goes flat.

It could be a stuffed alternator although probably not or your battery would be dead.

One other thing I just though of; if there is a short somewhere in your brake light circuit it could cause problems. Maybe there is a wire hanging loose near your brake pedal. Do your brake lights work? Do they cause other lights to go dim with engine off?

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture

      R33 suspension bushes replacement, what wears the most?

      As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.

      Oil Control In Rb's For Circuit Drag Or Drift

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.

      It definitely seems like you have no beef, with only digging up a 5 year old post, to comment on an inflammatory item with total insensitivity, and of which had nothing to do with the thread.  Yep, you definitely seem like a great person and your friends and family would be so proud to know of your lovely actions

      Returning after a long time!

      Thanks buddy, so happy to be back! Managed to pickup a Unicorn R34 completely stock and clean. Looking forward to adding some goodies to it and posting one here. I'm shocked that so many forums stopped. If you could find my old profile - I'd love that if its possible. My old account was JET200GT. My email might need to be fixed too. To use this one. I think it was the same though..
