Hey guys,

I've just recently got into getting myself an r32 from having a few sr20s

My rb20det, standard except a exhaust. Has a weird issue on cold start that I cannot work out.

In mornings, the car will crank over, idle and become to warm up. But when I start to drive the car from 0-2000rpm it feels like it's hitting a wall until passed 2k then will drive perfectly fine. Now the weird part is if I even drive 3 houses down. Turn the car off and back on. Even though its still cold. It won't hesitate at all and drove perfectly fine.

I've done fault code tests to only come up with 55, I've cleaned the afm. Changed plugs, cleaned out coilpacs, I haven't yet had a chance to fiddle with the AAC unit just yet.

I figured it might be an ecu issue and by turning on and off the car it was resetting the cold start. But I have since swapped out the ecu for a working one off a friend with no change.

Anyone had this issue or can anyone enlighten me on it being something to do with AAC valve?

Thanks!

Car runs rich until water temps hit 65degrees. This hesitation disappears when the water temp setpoint is met.

I have heard stories similar to yours in that you can turn off/on to over-ride the cold start fuel map but when I gave it a shot it made no difference for me...

Not sure if that helps.

I bought the car with water pump replaced. It takes forever to warm up. I may try driving it from cold and install my after market gauge and see if that is correct.

Cheers for the reply

sounds like thermostat is stuffed if car takes forever to warm up. Means the car would always be running rich. Check that out.

I just drove it today. As I hardly drove it. Hasn't been started in couple days, it's a nice warm 27 degree day. Stated and idled perfect, drove it, does the rubber band effect till I turn the car off an then back on. Then it drives fine?

I also let the car warm up while it was doing the hesitation and it didn't change. Only until I turned it off and then back on straight away.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
