Here it goes again.

So basically, lately, it seems like the car in the morning simply does noo want to start, it coughs and so forht and carries on for 5 seconds, then fine, smooth as silk idle nothing. Almost like it only runs on 4 cylinders first and then all 6 come into line.

It only does this if it has been standing overnight, but lately also during the day. Once hot or anything no issues.

So so far i have done the following.

-New plugs, All good.

-Checked compression, still all 150psi eaven.

-Checked for vacume leaks, but vacume appears to be as per before, still to do more searching.

-AAC valve cleaned, and rechecked, and appears to work correctly.

-Redline fuel injector cleaner, special stuff

-Checked for head gasket, and all good.

-Put a new ECU temp sensor in, no good

-rechecked timming, and still as per before.

-cleaned air filter

-Fuel pressure and floww correct

-Spark plugs all look even and nicely coloured.

-Can was tuned 4 weeks ago, this started 2 weeks after.

Still to check AFM and fuel filter, but filter was redone 5k ago.

What i did was to reset the computer, drained all the fuel out of injectors, oped all the air bleed vents, and then restarted it the next morrning, and it still did it.

If i turn off the ecu temp sensor, it is fine, if i disconnec the AFM it is fine.

I have not checked Consults yet.

What i need to know is, how do i check the Cold start Valve and the FAST IDLE VALVE? Apparantly the skyline has these.

I am at a losssss???????

HELP.

My R32 GTR does the same, on mine I don't think its really that bad.

I put it down to old(stock) coil packs on mine, that and maybe the cold weight of the oil being to thick?

Otherwise give a respectable tuning shop a call, won't hurt to ask.

Have a a similar problem on mine, the cold start valve was adjusted to it would rev a little higher when started, which seems to help a bit. however i'd check out your afm and clean it thoroughly with "start ya bastard" or somethin similar, could just be dirty? but you have gone through most of the main things, so you must be close!

I noticed with my PFC if the load points 4-8 @ 400rpm were leaned out it would cause this stumble.

Richening them up rectified the problem OR another way around it was to dial in more injector cranking time (ms) at the relevant 'stumble' engine temperature which for mine is ~10-20degree's.

Have you tried turning off the SAFC to see if it still does it?

Mine always had a hard stumble start with the stock ecu.

PowerFC allowed me to tune it out so to speak.

I think there's definitely a problem underneath that is shared by both the R32 and R33's.

Just what is it? In my instance I have worked around it but really its just a patch up.

I'll be a little more clear. :P

Stock ecu.. Hard start stumble. Occasionally it would start nicely.

PowerFC Untuned.. A little stumble but no where near as bad as the stock ecu.

PowerFC tuned.. Hard start stumble on par witht he stock ecu. (noticed load points 4-5 @400rpm were leaned out, richening up these load points reduces the stumble)

PowerFC tuned but with my fiddling.. Cranking time increased to around 35ms.. Perfect start no stumble just vrooom. :P

From what I've seen it appears it doesn't get enough fuel. Pushing in more via the cold start cranking time sorts the stumble.

nope not yet, the thing is it never use to do it, it just progresivly got worse. like something is not working correctly, but not sure what.

same here,

When my car came fresh off the boat, it started on colds no worries and was perfect.

Then after the first couple of weeks it started to struggle and it pretty much got worse and now happens every morning.

I wonder if the r32's in Japan have the same problem?

I also heard that if you leave your car untouched for 2-3 days it will start much easier than when you start it the next morning. Another rumor i've come across :(

might wanna check the battery voltage on start up and idle charge and reving around 3500rpm could be not enough charge getting to battery

my 32 used to occasionally have a start problem i ran a 125amp cable to the battery(in the boot) and it has been good every since

voltage should be around 10-11.5 on start, 13.5-14.8 on idle and around a lilbit more on reving

it has the stock fuel pressure reg and and aftermarket one. However the reg has beenon there for 6 months with no warries, it has always worked fine. I am not sure about the priming, but tyhe fuel priming sounds thesame as it has always done.

HOWEVER, this morning the problem has seamed to iron itself out, no issues what so ever, so who knows, will see how the car goes.

ONE more thing, i notice that my car vacume is about 1-2 mm HG lower then before. I have a SPARCO guage, and did a test, and the pressure line, when you put pressure in it, doesn't hold pressure. SO basically if i pressure rise it, it bleeds off to zero slowely. So i redid the lines, and still does it. I can't hear a hiss, but was wondering if they are suppose to do that?

I don't think i have a leak, but need to check.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
