hey guy, i just did a major service on my r33 and all was running just wonderful. i have had her tuned since putting on the new turbo (HKSgtrs). along with this i did the plugs to. i put in ngk BKR5ES-11. now i have been driving the car around for a week or so since being tuned and having the new plugs a nd turbo on and itr was tarting perfect, like almost immediatly...

but now i have to cranck her over for about 10-20 secs and put my foot down on the throttle. once she is strated she runs a little rough and then once it warms a little then it all calms down.

any ideas why this may have happened....???

this happned before when i first had my powerfc tuned and the tuner put new plugs in....

im thinking this may be plug related...???

i use bkr7e

never ever heard of them spark plugs...

if u have a turbo timer and u let it idle for 5 mins or so with the combination of wrong spark plug, could be fouling your plugs thus creating all them symptoms...

Next time ur at home and u try start the car n its doing that whole 10-20 sec thing, take one spark plug out and see if its fouled (covered in black dust looking stuff)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
