i narrowed down my coolant temp sensor being an issue for my cold morning start ( low idle on startup unles i touch the throttle pedal then it picks up and its all normal)

have found genuine sensor for s14 nothing r33 specific unless i pay $$$ from nissan. so would s14 be same?

part number seems same as r33?

if anyone can run it in fast or knows it would be great

Sure it's not your AAC valve? (Not to be confused with IAC)

yes that is the one , i did all the testing and it come down to sensor.

i seen online s14 one looks identical so if you know part number to s14 and r33 one so i can see if they match

only thing is my old one is red , but that wont matter

tested it this morning and its better but not 100%

when its been left overnight and car fully cools off the revs are low on startup then i touch acc pedal they go up to 1.5k until its warmed up they drop down and runs fine after that

every hot start is perfectly fine and idles great

anything else to look at?

anyone with some pointers on removing the cold start valve, it was hard enough locating it, let alone removing it, do i have to take off the inlet manifold? i have been having a cold start issue ever since i found water in one of my spark plug holes, i dryed it out, changed plugs, then next day when trying to kick it over it starts then will die if i do not apply throttle, revs upto 2000rpm then drops down back to normal as car warms up, tryed reseting the ecu with paperclip, work fine though its telling me no errors, while car was running on 5 cylinders it would start fine but run like shit, now it starts like shit but runs fine, after quite a few hours researching i narrowed it down to faulty coilpack, coolant temp sensor or cold start valve, what do u guys think??? btw where is the coolant temp sensor?

$80 from nissan

Coolant temp sensor for ECU and gauge (they are separate) are at the front of the plenum, just before the water outlet to the radiator.

Some info that I have gleaned:

RB20/26 use a yellow sensor.

RB25 uses a brown sensor (different resistance to RB20/26, when I ran a brown sensor with RB20 ECU it thought it was in cold start all the time).

RB25 Neo uses a blue sensor.

the yellow sensor has been superseded, nissan now give you a blue one if your chasing a new one, been told it suits a few different nissan motors

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
