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?

Will try having a look at the car with my old man :( , but at the mean time, gotta fix this dint from a hit and run :P

thanx for the response guys :D

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
