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.

    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
    • I made an extension of the item circled above in red that is hard wired to the battery and tucks away nicely in the engine bay, could easily do the same if it in the boot, just run the extended cable out under the bonnet or boot lid, I then just stick the charger on a milk crate to get it off the ground
    • It's purpose will be to stop the regulator plug from leaking oil. As GTS said, if it seals properly, it will mainly just have the effect of slightly higher oil pressure. I'll assume tolerances/fitment in the relief valve aren't that close that the washer being missing won't let it vent at 100% capacity too.
    • I put the charger in the engine bay and run the power cord down through one of the holes in the undertray, or at the back end of the engine bay, any time I need a car to be on a charger outside. In fact, I bring the extension cord up through into the engine bay so that it's not dragging around where it could get wet, or easily unplugged.
