Rough Idle When Starting Not The Usual

I have a little issue, when i start my car when hot it runs really rough for about 15 to 20 to seconds then comes good. It will do if i leave the car parked in the sun all day at work and is technically a cold start the engine is cold but is a really hot day. It is even worse if i drive it on a really hot day park it and come back to the car and go to start it again it cranks for alot longer ("flooded it mate") and then starts sounds like a subaru and sometimes will even stall. I have to keep the reves up for little bit then it will run and drive as per normal. I dont have any other issues with missfires or anything at any other time eg: cruising, fullthrottle all sweet just starting when HOT.

Car is r33 gtst series 2

Mods - FMIC, Exhaust, Splitfires, Iridium plugs gapped at .8mm, Power FC, Standard BOV, Apexi POD. and a R34 turbo (12psi). Everything is standard. I use MOTUL turbolite 10-40w engine oil.

I figure it cant be the cold start valve cause it does it with engine temp at 30 or 90 and AAC colged up would cause issues all the time.

Any help would be great Thanks all

Mine used to play up and return bad economy until I shoved in another set of injectors. Economy pretty much went from 450+km's per tank to 350ish over night. Changed o2 no difference.

With another set of injectors it only stumbled ever so slightly which pushing in a little more fuel on cold start fixed.

I've now upped the fuel pressure slightly and it never stumbles old cold start even if I lean it right out; just takes a few more cranks to start.

There's a few threads on this issue. Check out the search button.

Start during winter i only had it do it to me a couple of times and wasnt really that bad but as soon as the lovely queensland heat kicked i began having issues, i dont have an adjustable pressure reg and i really dont want to bump up fuel pressure as for there are thousands of skylines out there running similar setups to me that dont have an issue and would like to try and nut out the problem not just cover it up. :ph34r:

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
