hey guys just really getting annoyed with my car when driving it cold or even first line in dash water temp...

i just drive ok soon as i hit 3000/4000rpm just sounds like it splatters/hesitates, exhaust sound is like brrrrr brrr when between that rev range but when its fully warm no problem at all runs good...just dont get it..

any ideas guys cause have to always wait till it warms up fully and is a pain..

Well i just changed the turbo to slightly bigger and it is doing it all of a sudden never done it with the stock one... just when im about to hit boost which is the revs i described....

Under oiled turbo? u mean like no oil coming through or just takes a while to get oil in until its fuilly warm....seems like that.

your probably hitting R+R because its still cold and you have a bigger turbo

doubt its anything to do with turbo bearings being under oiled

not much you can do about it if you still have the std ECU, its a tuning thing

if it was the bearings it be stuffed and smoking and all plus i have a braided line which came with the turbo which was new and i have a greddy computer on it so im sure its a tuning thing as it wasnt really tuned only tuned for detonation as in power tune...its still ok but just takes awhile to warm up but i guess i can live with that for now :)

my r32 has the same issue exactly for over 6 months now. Stock ECU, stock r33 turbo. I had a TR43 turbo before but changed to a r33 turbo now - I've changed fuel pump, coil packs, spark plugs and O2 sensor, still there. Funny thing is, the issue goes away EXACTLY when the temp gauge hits half way mark - on the DOT!

any other ideas? :(

i maybe thought it was going into coldstart mode so thought it was the water temp sensor but guess not...like u said when its half way or at its normal engine temp its all good.....Maybe FPR or AFM...

Has to be ecu just going a lil koo koo until it hits its normal operating temp.Tune must be the last option i guess.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
