try tipping ice water on the c.a.s when car wont start ( a racq driver told me to do this my falcon )

Common in Fords and Holdens when hot weather and hot motor as the metal in the engine speed sensors 'warp' so to speak in the heat.

Not common for nissans.

Yup I wasn't sure about the external ignitor being on R34s, seems it was indeed ditched for individual ignitors in each coilpack

On that note, try running without the coilpack cover on

Was searching for solutions to this when I found this thread as I have the same issue...

In my case the doesn't really like starting even when cold, but it does start, but is hesitant to do so. I have had it start when warm but it's pretty inconsistent. Inconsistent enough for me to carry a can of start ya bastard in the glovebox.

This is not an ideal solution..

Have replaced Battery (brand new), brand new spark plugs, coil packs (splitfires)

Same as OP.. just sits there turning over forever (or until battery dies), for example BEFORE I bought a new battery, I had someone jump start this car with their car, and a battery pack thing, and I believe the car turned over after about the 150th attempt.

So it starts with start ya bastard?

That tells me there is a fuel supply issue

Yeah, it starts with a quick spray.. 100% of the time, at least the... handful.. of times I've tried it.

I guess that makes sense also given almost everything else is ruled out.. also I suppose it starting when cold, i.e running richer due to.. it being cold and trying to warm up. That said, it's effectively a brand new Bosch 040, that is certainly pumping fuel fairly happily every other time..

Injectors are literally brand new, have done about 100kms. Believe this issue occured (ONCE, while jump starting the car, before new battery too) before they were put in.

For what its worth, car did this.. this morning, at 6am, when it was about 10C outside. I guess it just seems to happen more when warm. If I had to guess, I'd say it just won't kick over about.. 20-25% of the time.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
