Hey People,

After finally returning back to Australia and being able to drive me car a fair bit, I have noticed a few little problems that I though might be solved through the forum.

1. Car is very hard when starting shortly after a long drive (so when hot)

2. Has a little constant misfire during idle and you can feel the power holding back in the higher revs.

I have serviced the vehicle and changed the plugs to a set of NGK coppers as well as a new Fuel Filter.

When changing the plugs they were quite black and the rear (6) looked quite burnt, also the valley cover looked quite burnt in the No. 6 spot. (excessive heat)?

The car has done 60,000 and only has a full 3" exhaust and Apexi Pod filter.

I had the car dyno'd a while ago and the A/F's were within range, the tuner said that the car was running properly, just suggested I get an aftermarket ECU. (probably for the rich & retard).

Hope the above info. will help people!

Cheers

Josh

markimak ur on the money.. it sounds more like leaking injectors to me. leaking injectors when hot will flood the throttle body with petrol if left for a period after a drive.. GreddyGo, im assuming it starts perfectly when the car is completely cold in the morning? if so, u have at least one leaking injector. the reason it will start good when cold is the petrol that has flooded the throttle body will, overnight evaporate thus letting the car start easily.

if this is your problem, take out all the injectors and have them pressure tested and hopefully which ever one is leaking can be cleaned. sometimes crap will deopsit on the end of the injector therefore not letting it close properly and thus causes the leaking.

Cheers Guys,

I have noticed that when I try to crank it sounds like the battery is very low, So i'm going to buy a new one tomorrow.

I didn't think you could pressure test side feed injectors?

I have thought about the Splitfires, but I might try the temp fix to see if I get some sort of change.

Cheers

^^ Cheers for that, always get them mixed up.

I changed the battery and did the ECU reset and the hard starting when hot has seemed to disappear.

But still have that little miss during idle, will have a look at coils this weekend.

Cheers

Josh

    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
    • Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.
