theres a cold start valve on the r33. i think the 32 has one, and its easier to access. that could be your problem. it opens up to allow more air to the intake until it gets warm, then shuts.

if your idle is steady once started, i would assume your aac valve is working ok.

well thats what i thought lol, guess it just needs more air??, had a knock sensor trouble code and it just sounds normal when starting, cant really describe any odd sounds, just my fuel pump turning on and it cranking lol

really???? most cold start setups are richer.

check that the TPS is setup correctly

hold on. do you mean pump your accelerator before cranking it? or when you start it, it needs gas to bring the revs up or it stalls?

hey mate my car has being doing this. If i don't pick the revs up to about 1500rpm as soon as I start it it will stall any ideas what is causeing this only happens when the car is cold.

Just a thought, but could it be over fuelling? maybe almost flooding of sorts. I know whenever I rejetted a carby & went too far I would have to hold throttle open-not an efi I know but you have changed the amount of fuel going in it may be messing with cold start map

Ive had this problem with my 32 and my main factor was the afm ( air flow metre ). Its running good now besides from the pumping of the gas when car is on, try the AAC valve, give it a clean, its located at the back of the plenum near the firewall kinda, cant miss it.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
