ok as most of you guys know im not the smartest guy here talking about mechanical skills, so do inform me if this is normal but still tell me what it is...

ok basically, if after a while i havent used my car as in 4hrs or something, basically when it is well and truely cold,

when i go to start it, it makes a sound like its powering upon acc

its more of an electrical sound you would expect from external fuel pumps, but there usually from the rear of the car, this sound comes from under the bonet, i cant pin point it, because i usually forget about it, and when i hear it, its not as simple as turn key again...

thanks in advance for your help

Yep, fuel pump.

You will notice it more if you turn the key slowly.

If you jump in the car, fling the key into its hole and turn the car over straight away, you wont notice it, but if you leave it on second click for a few seconds, you'll hear it.

It should cut out after a few seconds, and if you try to listen for it again, it wont do it, because the fuel is already where it needs to be. :uh-huh:

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
