i have this exact same problem with my r33, only ever on cold starts, and only like 20% of the time, other cold starts it will be fine, but yea sometimes i start it and it trys to stall, revs drop to like 500, then when i touch the throttle it revs up and idles fine, weird problem

Yea ive got that problem on my r33 too, only started recently. i wouldnt know where this cold start valve is either, id appreciate a diagram or some instruction of where it is and how to get it out ect :cheers:

Ok just did a pretty extensive search on the subject and supposedly you cant clean the acctual cold start valve because its a bi-metal stip valve but the AAC valve can be cleaned and theres a DIY tutorial for that here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...mp;hl=aac+valve

But im going with the idea that the cold start valve is faulty and not opening properly/atall and therefore causing a difficult start.

Mine is only minor and is just an annoyance rather than a problem so im thinking there may be just a hesitation in the valve opening.

Anyway, ill give it a look tomorrow and let you know how i get on :cheers:

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
