Ok guys i got a bit of a problem..

Only recently i have been turning my car on from a cold start and i will crank it the necessary amount of times i usually do, but now as soon as its on it feels like its going to stall (its an auto mind you). The revs keep dropping and i need to give it a rev for it to get going again..

Any idea what this could be?

Take note it only happens when the engine is cold after its warmed up and i restart it again no dramas at all!

Thanks in advance guys!

I just had that problem yesterday on my gtr and yes the engine was cold.

it also happened to my bmw, s15 and r33.

Would it be something to do with fuel pressure? try 2 clicks of the ignition and wait till you hear the fuel pump 'whirring' to stop; then crank it. I always start my cars like this now but yesterday when my gtr stall'd i didnt.

??? perhaps some1 else has an idea.

Yer it might be the battery come to think of it, maybe i was looking too much into it. It also could be the spark plugs being foul :S

If spark plugs are foul do they need to be replaced or..?

I would be after a dry cell battery too, if the battery where to be the problem.

Is there much of a difference between the branding etc or do they all do the same sorta thing?

Im almost 100% sure its the battery now cos when i had my old POS, it took sometimes 2-3 attempts to get my engine started.

I would definitely get a drycell as ive had a bad experience with my s15; acid leaked and damaged some of the paint in the engine bay. That said, im not sure if some good brands still leak?

Unfortunately dry cells are a little expensive with good brands like odyssey going for over 200.

Ill check my brand for you in a minute, I paid 110 for mine + 90 for the trickly charger so i wont have that problem again.

Check your plugs too, if they need replacing grab some iridiums: Try this bloke, i bought NGK iridiums from him for my beema and he sells for skylines too; very good prices.

Performancelub

He trades on ebay too so search for him.

When it happens to 4 cars at one time, it's either

i) solar flares or

ii) full moon or

iii) you've failed your course in hot-wiring.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
