Engine Shuddering On Start Up

Hi guys,

Recently during the mornings when I start up my skyline it seems to shudder a little. The oil pressure remains at 0 for a few seconds and rises as soon as the shuddering stops. When I bought the car it didn't have this problem. Also this only happens when the car is first started, subsequent ignitions don't have this problem. Any ideas as to why this occurs??

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I forgot to add that the car is completely stock, no mods whatsoever.

A sparkey can connect it to their diagnostic computer, or if you have a search through the forums I am pretty sure you can use the paper clip method on a 34 to check if there are any codes on the ecu.

If it shudders for that long or less its probably nothing to worry too much about, that being said - my 34 GTT does not shudder at all when starting.

It's strange. This morning when I went to start it, it didn't shudder at all. Very odd. Maybe it has something to do with the cold weather. I'll have a mechanic look at the ecu in a couple of weeks when I get it serviced.

well the good news is oil pressure relates directly to engine revs. so if revs are 0 or even under 300 would expect the oil light to be on.

need to find out why idle is not stable at 800 or whatever it should be - these cars have a beautiful idle when healthy

This also started happening to me recently, and i also suspected it was due to oil. I changed my oil to a 5-30w (was a 10-40) and it happens less, though it does still happen once in a while. I'm wondering if it isn't the oil pump. My car has only done "61000" kms, but maybe it's time to do the 100k service and change the oil pump. Not sure if you can check the health of the oil pump either... the pressure seems to be fine, but like your experiencing, sometimes on startup it will want to stall and the revs drop right down.

It also sounds silly, but it doesn't seem to happen when i hold the key in the 'start' position a fraction of a second longer than i ordinarily would... does that indicate a tired motor?

I think we may have the same issue. My motor's barely done 55000ks though so it's very odd.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
