Cold Starts


Recommended Posts

The problem you are having is that on colder mornings the computer uses the water temperature of the car to decide how much additional fuel to add to the engine, until the engine/water temperature is normal. I know that with the R33 there is some type of sensor on the plenum chamber that should compensate for the temperature, maybe your's is not working properly.

I have aftermarket management so I can fully adjust the amount of fuel added at cold start. If you don't have programmable managment then I'm not sure what the answer is, speak to a tuner, i.e. Steve at SST.

It's not going to do any harm but it can be annoying having a car that jerks and stalls in the morning.

i used to experience that problem when i used to own a lancer.

it can easily be solved by running some injector cleaner through the car. run this rich by using the injector cleaner in when theres hardly any fuel left.

another way i fixed the jerkiness of my car when starting it was by using high quality fuel. in this case i used BP Ultimate. maybe you're using cheap fuel? remember to always use high octane fuel. this will ensure your skyline will remain in good condition:)

Using it when your fuel is low?

That kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

When your on low the bottom of the tank is all gunk, so ur burning some contaminates, i can see by adding the injector cleaner mite of cleaned it , but doing that wouldn't make sense??

Am i wrong??

My R33 has a VSPEC diff in it, that means it has both the traction control and Active LSD like that found in the VSPEC. These came from the Nissan factory like that, I know of only a couple other people in Aus. with them. The Active LSD is really cool for high speed cornering.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
