Hey guys as the title states my cars been struggling to start first thing in the morning. I just had my car retuned on united e85 and since then it takes around 5-6 cranks in the morning and even when im leaving work in the arvo (if its still quite cool) when it was tuned on caltex eflex i had no dramas but with united e85 having a higher ethanol content its obviously struggling with the cold starts. Im running a power fc with the usual bolt on mods. Heres a pic of my crank settings...just wondering if i can adjust these and what i should adjust them to for an easier cold start. Cheers!20190605_055436.jpeg

Just an update on my starting issues. I ended up getting a brand new oem cas and took it back to my tuner to make sure it was installed correctly. It starts up first go every time now...even if i havent driven the car in a few weeks. Still runs a bit sluggish on a cold start, but once it reaches normal operating temp its perfect, so it must require some fine tuning for cold running.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
