hey you all, im just curious.. but my r322 non turbo doesnt like starting straight away.. like.. cold so to speak.. ( not weather) but when i try to start it the first couple of times it wont start.. but if it has been running sometime in the hour before i try to start it, it has no troubles.. is there any way to fix this?

I've heard of this problem before..

And every now and again mine will start and kind of splutter until I stab the accelerator.

There was one R32 that I test drove when I was looking for one that wouldn't start straight away then when it did it spluttered as mine does, But I did notice that the idle was very rough in this skyline.

I'd check your spark plugs, put in the correct heat range not any colder than std. as you don't need to.

Make sure the spark plugs are gapped at 1.1mm..

umm what else is there...

AHHH.... Your Coolant Temperature Sensor..

This is suspicious as maybe it is not working correctly and when cold it is not running richer. hence hard to start.

When the cts sensor is gone I'm not sure if the ecu automatically jumps the idle up still though.. ?!?!?!? Anyone???

my line had the same problem then one day the battery died so i bougt a new one. now it ony takes about a second and it starts.

mabey your battery isnt supplying enough current to the starter so the engine isnt being cranked at the optimum speed thus taking longer to start.

just a thery based on my experience hope it helps.

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
