Cold Start Issue On 32gtr

Hey guys

I’ve recently been lucky enough to get myself a GTR – a 32

Upon buying it, I discovered that there car runs like a dog on cold start.

I am wondering whether anyone has any experience with GTRs and cold start issues. Basically it is extremely hesitant when reving any higher than 2.5rpm in the first 5mins of driving. The mechanic I have taken it to is well experienced in GTSTs but not GTRs, but is committed to fixing the issue. He has been working through all the electrical components (including replacing the ecu, afms) trying to isolate the problem. So far he has been unable to identify the issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions on possibilities for what is causing the issue?

Car is running garrett 2560r turbos, apexi pods, and 3.5’ turbo back exhaust. I have tried replacing the stock exhaust and air filters and the problem is the same. I do not have the stock turbos so cannot try replacing these.

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks :rofl:

an obvious one, but have you checked what oil your using maybe too thick on a cold start.

the previous owner may not have changed it in a while or maybe using one thats too thick. i just changed my oil today to a thinner one because of the cold months are closing in. prob not the answer, but you never know..

Keeper - i'm in frankston vic

seeyagtr- i'm not sure about the base timing, i'll ask the mechanic if he's looked at that - thanks! :P

jake33 - i haven't tried changing the oil, i'll give that a go because i'm starting to get a bit desperate

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What blows me away, is watching some of the US guys, like Tony Angelo at Stay Tuned. LS1, buys a set of heads for $1200, drops a mild cam in, pulls all the electrics, drops a basic inlet manifold with a carb, MSD thing for spark, and roll it out to make 550hp.

      God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By Randhj · Posted

      I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ

      Can't put strut back

      All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
