Hey guys,

My brother also owns an R32 gtst & when his engine is cold (left overnight) it hesitates on acceleration. If you keep the same peddle pressure it will hold back for a second then eratically rev harder as normal. Is this a normal thing? or maybe an issue? Having said that it operates fine once the car is at normal operating temp.

Thanks guys

the problem is in the ECU.

it is nissans way of warming up the engine with minimal stress on the engine. it goes into rich and retarded mapping up until something like 3300rpm or until you put your foot down a bit more.

do it next time you drive it cold, keep your foot at the same level and get to around 3300 and you will notice a sudden rush as the fuel and ignition maps have gone back to normal.

it is completely normal

That doesn't sound right. The manual advises to drive easily when cold, till temps are normal, so why would they make the engine run shit at low rpm, doesn't make sense. :rofl:

When warming up all tunes run rich with retarded timing, but apart from a lack of power, this should not effect drivability.

The above is just a quote from the link i provided.

I am not sure whether this is normal or not, although most r32's seem to have this problem. Would like to know the answer to this problem :D

its a common issue

i personally think its got something to do with the oxygen sensor needing to be warm/hot to operate

it seems like when its off boost it has no power at all, but when it comes into any boost at all it jumps into life like it normally would

neither do i.

check your fuel lines nisskid and make sure they arnt perished through and leaking

yeh i figured it would probably be a leak in the line, weird thing is, it only smells when its cold and running, so unless for some reason the leaks would close up when its warm, doesnt really make sense.

do u 2 have straight through exhuasts, cats?

Only have catback exhaust.

Uploaded a video of my daily cold start. Anyone have similar?

As you can see/hear, the key is turned for a while, then it jumps to life and falls back to zero. a blip on the throttle brings it back to life and idles normally...

Cheers

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
