Hi,

For the past month or so my has not been starting smoothly. It takes about 4 seconds or so for the engine to start when cold. Interestingly though, if i leave the ignition on for about 5 minutes it starts fine and if I turn it off then on after I start it, it starts fine too. My mechanic said it could be a fuel pump issue. Does anyone agree? And if so what is a good fuel pump to install for a R33 GTS?

By the way, this is my first post in over 2 years! So welcome me back!

welcome !

my old r33 did the same.

i had a new pump put in, i tried a new battery, i had my injectors cleaned and checked but still the same in winter only, it was fine in summer.

my mechanic put it down to the a temp sensor being faulty. and it sounded about right, Get nissan to hook it up to there pc dinositics machine and they ll tell you exactly what it is. i never got around to doing it but nissan never fails on last resort problem solving.. only downer side is you ll pay about 70 bucks just for a little code print out.

Thanks I may have to fork out the cash, because it is not only annoying and probably bad for the car, but it is damn embarrasing !

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
