OK i have exact same problem, R32 GTST RB20DET nistune ecu gtr injectors z32 afm plugs gapped to .8mm hks turbine

Car goes into cold start mode, id love to make a vid on how the motor behaves when starting cold, and i will, WHEN IT STOPS RAINING!!!!!!!!!! grrrr

I start the car (dead cold morning) starts fine, revs well, 30 secs or so after start it clicks into this "Runs Like A Three-legged Billy Goat" mode! NOW i thought it was something to do with the O2 sensor, bought a new one, no change. Coughs misfires under load generally runs like poo, I unplug the O2 sensor, no coughs or misfiring but now surges under load, n same as everyone else this mode clicks off when temp guage hits the middle

Not everyone has this problem i see n id love to find out how to fix it or help fix it!!

Cheers

check resistance of your water temp sensor (both when cold and hot)

if unsure just change anywayz its not that expensive

also make sure you have the correct sparkplugs/heat range...this was the prob with mine believe it or not

I will try to get a multimeter to check coolant temp sensor but now you got me thinking its the plugs lol I recently put a new engine in the car but it was doing the same thing with the old engine, im running brand new DENSO K20R - U11 spark plugs atm gapped to .8mm but the plugs that were in the new engine were NGK-R PFR5A - 11

what would be the correct plugs for my application?

Cheers

Ok so i have an update, turns out its the O2 sensor thats stuffing up my cold start and idle. I unplugged it and everything is fine again, (btw the O2 is brand new)

So im guessing my ECU was tuned with the old stuffed O2 sensor and now the new one is leaning the fuel mixture out too much.

cant figure out why its affecting idle tho.

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
