Hi all - my R33 has developed an issue lately when cold starting. It splutters about and struggles for a few seconds after starting. It's fine after it's started and runs great, but unless I hold the key a second longer when starting or blip the throttle while turning over it has this issue. I've done plenty of searches on here but this was the best I could find so i know plenty of people have experienced it but that his thread has no definitive cause or fixes for it yet.

I've replaced my o2 sensor with a brand new one, spark plugs are new and battery is all good. Any help would be great, it's doing my head in!

It's more or less stock, has a fmic & a boost tee running 10psi but that's about it. I've upgraded the fuel pump about 6 month's ago to a DW 300 and replaced the fuel filter about 1,500km's ago in the last service (It's been doing it for a few months now but it's just really beginning to get on my nerves. I've also tried running the fuel system cleaners which hasn't helped. I hate that it's such a relatively simple problem I can't seem to diagnose or fix...at least I hope it's simple!

I have another mate with a 33 too and his has started doing the same thing. We're both stumped.

Try priming the fuel pump twice before cranking and see if problem goes away. If it does, could be low fuel pressure at start up due to blocked filter or dying pump.

Yeah tried this nothing, pump and filter have been replaced. I have no idea anymore, have completely given up lol. I do feel slightly it is fuel related if it's the pump or something else I'm unsure car drives great.

I was thinking there was a problem with my nistune ECU, but if it's doing it with stock ECU's then its something else. It's weird my engine bay is 100% double checked everything.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
