Hi all, I am having trouble with my S2 R33 GTST, have had a look around the forums but so far nothing has really helped.

The problem is when the car gets warm it just dies (can crank it over but wont fire) and wont start again until cold.

When the car is cold it starts first turn of the key and will drive around and wont miss a beat until its warm and then wont start again.. The problem has been occuring for a little while now but thought it was fixed after unplugging the ECU (Nistune) it didnt happen for about 150k's (the car doesn't get driven very often)

Have swapped the cas and afm (Z32) for known working units and it didn't make a difference, plugs look alright and the Splitfire coilpacks are only around 8 months old also unplugging the coolant temp sensor doesn't do a thing.. Car also drinks a fair amount of fuel round about 300 Kilometers to a tank on 98.

Could this be an issue with the tune? any help would be greatly appreciated cheers.

Does it crank slow ? Like a flat battery ? Could be your starter motor solenoid sticking/faulty, a friend had an old hilux that would start fine when cold but once up to running temperature, if he turned it off he wouldn't be able to start it for a few hours till engine was cool again.

Hey guys sorry for the delayed reply..

Answers to previous comments..

defari- temp gauge says abit under half when it dies

blind_elk - Wont start if i give it any throttle just floods it and runs like shit when it eventually fires haha..

Lrs94- Nah doesn't crank like a flat battery cranks like normal

Kane_R32 - Fuel pressure is good after car shuts off

mlr- Where abouts are connections on chassis and block?

UPDATE- Turns out the cas i tried turned out to be an RB20DET one plug was the same but apparently the timing is different? And i ran the car the other day and when it got to temperature it didn't shut down and even took it around the block and let it sit at home idling and didn't die? :wacko:

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      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.
