hey guys, I have a problem here. Seems like it happened twice now but when basically when it's a really really hot day I try to start the car and the engine would start for 1 sec and then it'll die. I have to leave the car for around 5 mins until I can start the car. I'm a bit worried since it's gonna be summer soon. If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanx

car is a R33 GTS-T 93' auto nearly doing 100,000 kms.

So many possibilities.

When it does it you'll have to check all the basics like fuel, spark, injector pulse. Then move onto things like check cooling system for leaks and compression test. If you don't know how to do any of these things....go to a mechanic and they will be able to perform the above tests for you.

In the meantime you could try simple stuff that might help like...make sure air filter is clean, make sure fuel filter is good, make sure the fuel tank is sealed (should go whoosh when you remove the cap), make sure the throttle body is clean.

Might fix your problem, might not....but it's a damn fun weekend.

I've seen similar symptoms before (admittedly on an older car) started off with intermittent cold start problems with warmer weather, for me it was the ignition pulse module in the dizzy... when they start getting really bad they just cut out when they reach operating temp on hotter days..generally if you let it cool down for say 20 mins it'll run fine again but 10 min driving later when the heat gets back into it same thing. I had this happen to me heading to Albury on a nasty 35+ day. Not fun at all. Maybe 3lit3 forc3 would know if a faulty ignitor box would have the same effect on a r33 s1 skyline or if there's a way to bench test the ignitor?

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
