hey,

When driving my R32 GTR it keeps cutting out (similar feeling to running out of fuel) and when it does this it wont idle it just stalls, then ill start it again and it will idle ok and drive normally for a bit (seconds to a minute or so), then start cutting out again

the feeling when it cuts out at say 2500rpm is very similar to running out of fuel in your tank but a tiny bit different, runs really rough like its dropped half the cylinders and looses all the power completley. its not persistent tho and when it comes good it runs perfectley for a little while (enough to limp home on).

my guess is its a fueling issue of some sort, has anyone come across this problem before?

the ignitor module does look a little corroded on the outside, ill take a better look at it

Hey i got the same problem with my 33, but my one is from 3000 rpm travelling at an average st speed, pop it to neutral then the idle jst drops down as if its gonna stall then at one - three times it did stall, but wen i put it back to gear it started running again =S

i have an r32 89 rb20, and yes it is an auto. It had sort of the same prob. kept stalling on me, it still does. but yeah cruisin down the highway it would just cut out...and the kick back in and be fine. The other day it just kept stalling and when it would idle i would try and rev it, when it got to 2500 it would hit like a rev limiter and just back off..and then it would stall. So i would let it sit and it would be fine. But does that explain why it wouldnt do it all the time, and would it be why it does it when i am going down the highway??

EDIT: Someone suggested it could be the crank angle sensor....but the air flow meter sounds interesting....i reset my ecu and it was good for the rest of my trip, so that might be a temporary solution.

Hey i had that before, but i fixed it now, its really quite simple if you dnt know where to start. Firstly do you have an aftermarket BOV? Rev it to 4-5000 rpm then check if the engine is about to die, do it for a cpl of times. If this is the problem then jst swap ur stock bov then try it again if it doesnt fail its definitely your BOV.

It could be alot of things but i know the GTR's have a limp mode built in to the ecu programming. That will limit the revs to 2500 if sumthing is wrong...

Yeah man thats what my importer said. Yeah but sometimes it does not just limit the revs but like cuts out at the 2500. and sometimes it will limit it. I wiped my ecu and it still does it though. So has annoyone got any other ideas.

Lang: In simple mans terms, the loose wiring in the loom...where do i find the loom? :S

the loom is the wiring loom which afaik just means all the wires that go from the ecu to various parts of the engine bay, allthough i think in my case (a freind fixed it) it was to do with the wiring from the airflow meters to the ecu.

I have a very similar problem

the car stalls "randomly", especially after I hit bumps.

monday, I went slowly into gravel, turned the car off, started it, and went about. 15 secs after.. engine died and didn't start again after 5 tries, Fuel pump was priming so that wasn't the prob. I have a recirculation BOV so if it leaks, it goes in behind Z32 MAF. I tried following the wire loom from the connector and it passes right under the A/C oil canister... and the loom was somewhat filled with old oil.

I will for sure to to follow that cable tonight and make sure everything is secure and undamaged.

My car is not in limp mode, I can go to redline with no trouble and with quite a bit of power.. if it's not acting up hehe

I do hear misses at any rpm range... like Highway... at 3000 it will do it but for like 1/2 sec and the engine "starts" back. I will also clean the MAF tonight with electircal contact cleaner

and verify every air path :P

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
