Sounds like a faulty temp sender. The ECU thinks the engine is still cold, so it adds lots of fuel for a "cold start"

That is a possibility. It is important to test these things which is easy to do with a multimeter.

Go into 'settings' then 'cranking' and have a look at the 50deg and 80 deg settings.

Change the 80deg to 9.0 and the 50deg to 10.0 and see if it starts easy for you.

will this change the tune at all??

dont know much about tuning at all, just know it was dyno tuned for hours an was told that, down low on cruise he has kept it as lean as possible an at 20 psi its running rich but on its limit of knocking. an a slight change to the tune an the engine's buggered.

still waiting on new coils should arrive any day they've bn sent. other wise i'll have to plan a trip back to brissy an let mark figure it out.

Won't effect the tune that your tuner has put in place. It will effect the amount of fuel being put in but only while you are cranking the engine, not while it is running.

The other thing I should add also is, if the changing of settings makes it worse, then try the other way and reduce the figure. This is only a cheap temporary fix. It will help you determine if there is a problem elsewhere which you can then find and understand more easily.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
