Hey everyone

Just recently my r33 won't start when its been sitting in the sun and heat for a bit my car is midnight purple and attracts the heat being a dark colour but i was wondering if any body knows what maybe the problem ? Its getting fuel cause you can smell it all burn up when it finally starts. The starter motor seems to be all good to just seems like no spark but when its colder in the morning it starts first go ?? I was thinking to replace the spark plugs but im not sure as it starts when its cold maybe its an ecu thing still running factory ecu ! Anybody got any Ideas ????

cheers

Tom

could be a leaking injector, fuel pump dying, battery, alternator, loose wire on starter or maybe even temp sensor.

Best bet if you can is to swap or unplug stuff till you get a result. Dont go buying anything until you know for sure though, jus borrow off a mate or failing that I'm sure someone on this forum would lend you some parts. I have an old fuel pump and alternator lying around if you need. GL

In the R32, difficult to start after warm up, ie when engine is hot, can be:

Engine temp correction - check the engine temp sensor resistance value, and check the sensor output voltage.

Fuel pressure - try disconnecting the vacuum hose from the FPR, or clamp the return line.

Cranking speed - how good is the battery?

Probably similar in the R33.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
