basically im running a R32 with a RB25det (see my garage) it is being a bit of a b*tch to cold start the engine... i have a few posibilities from other peeps and just want a few opinions

1. Ignighter problem ($1200 for a replacement from nissan even with staff discount :ermm: )

2. Sparks(i may have got a bit enthusiastic tapping them to .8mm... will test this tomorrow :P )

3. Fuel pump (unlikely as it runs fine and is aftermarket :D )

4. Starter motor (as far as i can tell its working fine :) )

5. timing/air-fuel mix

any help on this matter would be much apprecaited and maybe rewarded with beer (not through post though)

Assuming you are running a stock rb25 with stock ecu.

Have you done a compression check on the engine?

When i lost partial compression in one cylinder, my car was a farker to cold start. At the time, i thought it ran fine, came on boost fine and still made the ass-end loose at the top of 2nd. But the moment my mechanic heard it, he knew i hurt the engine.

ok when i say a bitch to cold start i mean not runnning temp (weather doesnt affect it)[it fires but then dies or is really sluggish until it gets going, it also stalls if i igve it too much gas before it warms to running temp]...

i had a compression check done and its fine...

Stock 25 ECU...

ill look for the cold start valve in the morning as i gotta take off the body kit to get under...

as for pin 43 i dont mess with the pins ect so have no idea about that...

anyone know where i can get a diagramm for the engine as i lost mine from my computer (damn missus)

Thanks for the massive amount of response, now who wants to help me do a cut and polish :)

What spark plugs? And try opening the gaps back out to 1mm, seeing as you are running everything stock. Try starting with the ECU temp sender (2-pin connector) disconnected.

Don't understand how a body kit can get in the way of the inlet plenum.

How old is your battery?

Perhaps giving the battery a full charge or replacing it with a new or different one laying around.

Im recharging my battery at the moment as it gives my car a sluggish start.

I might be silly thinking about the battery but anything is worth a try if you can be bothered. :wub:

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
