I tried searching, but my problem seems a little different to other peope who have had cold start issues

in the morning when its cold, and the car is dead cold too the car will start fine, but unless i wait 2 minutes for the temp to rise, the car doesnt like revving or driving

as i said, car will start fine and idle fine, but if i go anywhere near the accelerator, its just coughs and splutters and even stalls sometimes

details:

97' R33 gts-t manual

pfc, z32 afm, 555cc injectors, bigger turbo, fmic, 3" exhaust, 040 pump, splitfire coils

I never drive any of my Skylines until the water temp starts to move and have no problems as a result.

They just do not like to be driven when they are cold.

umm.... i disagree.. ive driven many skylines including this one from cold for YEARS, no problems... how else am i going to get everything (gearbox, diff etc)up to temperature - i dont thrash them when cold, just get them moving nice and slowly

this problem has just arisen over the last few weeks

i am assuming you have the pfc programmed to take over all of the original computers controls and removed the old computer? if so maybe your ECU water temp sensor is feeding the pfc dodgy info? as the pfc would not have a default map to revert to like the skyline computer does? could be worth a try testing it by swapping with a mates?

    • It is not a dual mass flywheel, so you will get some gear noise on a BNR34 unless you deviate from the OEM fluid spec and run a thick gear oil like what Nismo recommended for a while. Unfortunately I have never weighed the flywheel by itself prior to installation but it is not that light. It's probably an 8-9 kg flywheel. OEM BNR34 dual mass flywheel is like 14 kg which is kind of hilariously heavy. 
    • Got around to installing the Tomei Cam Cap Studs and the Hypertune cam baffles/splash guards. Unfortunately, I was not aware that the cam cap studs do not clear the stock RB25 internal cam cover baffles. Some research found a set from boostdoc which includes a replacement cam cover baffle and full length cam baffle + tools and fasteners. but I'm not keen on re-buying what I have already bought. So the plan is to take the hard route and modify the existing cam cover baffles to clear both the cam cap studs and the hypertune cam baffle plate. I assume there must be people who have gone through this even just to convert from cam cap bolts to cam cap studs? If so any tips would be appreciated. Otherwise I think I will mark where the cam cap studs foul, drill clearance holes in the cam cover baffle, and remove the cam cover baffle oil returns to clear the  hypertune baffle plate. I will also need to remove the baffle and drill and tap threads to bolt it back on so i can clean out any swarf. Fuel tank foam as extra cam cover baffling?
    • The incoming weather event seems to be affecting people in weird ways....🤣 And no, whilst there is some fancy engineering going on, I have no real interest in anything rotary really I had a Capella in the 90's, the rotary engine is way to temperamental, and extremely thirsty for my liking  If I won lotto and wanted to waste a ton of cash, a boosted K-swap would be what I would look at, until then, the N/A MZR2.5 will be at home in the engine bay of the NC A build like this, just without the idiotic street pulls and skids would be interesting to waste a huge amount of money on https://youtu.be/EgqAoVtUD1E?si=n3_umivrUPP8C9Cs
    • Now we're getting somewhere. All we need is a fractional rotor system so we can also have the RX3 and 5 back, and the world will be right again.
    • With that engine being a one rotor, would that make this into an RX4?
