Ok I have a 95 r33 gts-t and it has a faulty temp sensor I know this because I didi the diagnostic and thats what came up. After about three to four starts I always have to go under the hood and reconnect the sensor then it starts right away f0r three to 4 starts again. Can anyone help with this prob I live in the Bahamas and the new sensor is goin to take awhile to get here. I wanted to know if there is anyway to bypass or leave this sensor unplugged without the car failing to start? If so how do I do this and why does this sensor being unplugged cause the car to not start?

I don't know the specifics of the temp sensor but I imagine that when not connected then the ECU will think that the temperature is either maximum or minimum within its temperature range due to having no voltage.

Whichever way the reading is wrong, the temperature of where you are probably isn't close enough to the ECU's idea of what the temp is, and so the mixture will be too rich or lean. Think of trying to start an old car in cold weather without putting the choke on.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
