So sometimes ill go for a drive, then stop turn the car off, come back 30 mins later and when I go to turn the car on it will turn over easily enough put it won't fire, if I push the accelerator then it comes alive but it will literally not fire unless i press the throttle... and this only happens when it's warm, it's running a Power FC and im starting to think whoever tuned it has no f**king clue.. it seems like they haven't haven't even bothered with a coldstart map or anything, just power runs....for 8 PSI...

Take it back to them and get them to fix the tune then? If your not happy and it has a running issue then they should fix it

The tune was done by the previous owner and was done a year or so ago. So wouldn't he have taken it back immediately if he noticed it was sheeeit? coldstart + A/C it just stalls when you take out the clutch, it's miserable to drive in the morning on the way to work haha

Does Nissan have some cold start sensor or relay or something? that could be on it's way out??

How come in post #1 it's a hot start problem, and in post #4 suddenly it's a cold start problem?

because it has both brah. And a tune would also cause hot start/cold start issues. And so would one of the sensors

Depending if it's overfuelling or under fueling when starting

Might be injectors leaking or cranking enrichment in tune once warm needing touch up but these are only guesses

Need to get the car properly diagnosed

I Called a shop to book it in to have a major look over this issue as well as retuning it.. only problem is that they are booked out until after WTAC and I wanted these issues sorted before then so I could drive down... :/ It has Deatschwerks injectors which could not be more than 3 years old so while that is a possibility i highly doubt it..

Am I allowed to name the company to see if anybody has had issues/similar issues with this company or is bad-naming not allowed?

Where are you located? Lots of shops in NSW.

Im in brisbane, There are a fair few up here too but I really only trust this one shop with tuning, I might call some other shops though and see what they say

Do you have a datalogit? If you can get your hands on one. Backup your current tune the reinitalize the ecu. Let it do its cold start setup and then drive the car until its warm and shut it odf and restart it. If issue persists then its hardware at fault.

I had a cold start issue. Car would never start first go. After many people suggesting the water temp sensor, contact cleaner on the afm sensor had the car starting instantly every single time and improved drivability 10 fold.

Try adding more fuel to the cranking table for that particular temperature it's being a little shit to start at.

Also if your injectors are dirty, this would also attribute to starting issues as it's leaner.

Has this developed recently?

Yes but I also bought the car recently but for the first month or so I never noticed it so that's why I'm not 100% on it just being the tune

And I don't have access to one man :(

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
