problem been discussed a lot on sau, its common on all r32's to need a blip of the throttle to stop it stalling.

Unfortunately no one has found a solution to this problem :D

When i put in a brand new heavy duty battery it would crank and idle with no throttle, but over the weeks it went back to its stalling.

A possibly solution is to clean the cold air regulator which lets in more air on cold starts. Perhaps this could be getting stuck and causing the stalling;

Also doesnt hurt to clean the AAC valve too;

Let us know how it goes ;)

ive cleaned the AAC and AFM , there is a noticeable difference after cleaning it. if you haven't do so , i highly suggest you to do that first.

wanna do mine? <3 :)

How is your battery? You might have a weak battery, try recharging overnight and see how it goes.

When i put in a brand new battery it cranked once and jumped to life, but now its gone away :)

Also, when i first purchased the car it had no cold-start issues, it gradually happened after driving the car, so something must have worn out/clogged up during that time..

notice something funny, if i prime the fuel pump before cracking the engine, it most likely gonna have a hard cold start (rev below 700rpm)

HOWEVER, if i start the key straight away without waiting, the car actually starts at first go (rev stays at 7-800rpm bout 1-2 sec and its back to normal 1100-1200 rpm)

but still a tiny bit hesitation but no where near as bad as before.

Mine starts strangely in the morning also, turn the key and it fires up nicely. Revs drop to almost a stall, tap the throttle and up it goes to about 2 grand for a while. Strange yes! Done anything about it, no! :D

Here's a video of my starting which i recorded over a year ago. Sounds similar to yours AdMan

I always have to blip the throttle when starting or it stalls, i tend to blip the throttle into any other car i jump into because of this haha

Im putting in cleaned gtr injectors soon and getting a tune, will see if it will fix the problem.

Also, not sure if it helps, but after i installed a gtr fuel pump, the cold start actually got worse..ho hum

Definately clean your cold air regulator. It's a bit of a bitch to get to but it worked for me.

Had the same cold start problem as you. Turns out the regulator was stuck open, pulled it out and cleaned it and now it starts nicely - no throttle needed.

Hi there, I have had this issue for years now, I had the injectors cleaned, new temp sensor, cleaned the AAC valve and really didn't see that much of difference. One thing I did change which helped a lot was one of the Fuses that goes to the ECU, this made the most noticeable difference but didn't cure the issue. Does anyone have pics of what the Cold Air Reg looks like on a 33? Just want to have a look because it might be worth a crack.

Check out this thread for some pics of the cold air reg: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...ob-t174735.html

Seems like it's even harder to get at than in the RB20...

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
