OK i have exact same problem, R32 GTST RB20DET nistune ecu gtr injectors z32 afm plugs gapped to .8mm hks turbine

Car goes into cold start mode, id love to make a vid on how the motor behaves when starting cold, and i will, WHEN IT STOPS RAINING!!!!!!!!!! grrrr

I start the car (dead cold morning) starts fine, revs well, 30 secs or so after start it clicks into this "Runs Like A Three-legged Billy Goat" mode! NOW i thought it was something to do with the O2 sensor, bought a new one, no change. Coughs misfires under load generally runs like poo, I unplug the O2 sensor, no coughs or misfiring but now surges under load, n same as everyone else this mode clicks off when temp guage hits the middle

Not everyone has this problem i see n id love to find out how to fix it or help fix it!!

Cheers

check resistance of your water temp sensor (both when cold and hot)

if unsure just change anywayz its not that expensive

also make sure you have the correct sparkplugs/heat range...this was the prob with mine believe it or not

I will try to get a multimeter to check coolant temp sensor but now you got me thinking its the plugs lol I recently put a new engine in the car but it was doing the same thing with the old engine, im running brand new DENSO K20R - U11 spark plugs atm gapped to .8mm but the plugs that were in the new engine were NGK-R PFR5A - 11

what would be the correct plugs for my application?

Cheers

Ok so i have an update, turns out its the O2 sensor thats stuffing up my cold start and idle. I unplugged it and everything is fine again, (btw the O2 is brand new)

So im guessing my ECU was tuned with the old stuffed O2 sensor and now the new one is leaning the fuel mixture out too much.

cant figure out why its affecting idle tho.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
