I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

Yeah on warm days, even anything above 15 degrees it starts first crank. Cold weather like today you can't even hear it fire a cylinder for the first couple of cranks.

ive read a few articles mentioning the same amount.... maybe it could work.

id be taking it back to tuner and retuning in the cold tho....

Not a bad idea getting a winter touch up tune for it that I can switch to in the cold. Shouldn't cost too much.

yeah I didnt have any great issues either....Maybe its those crappy old Nismo injectors Birds ;)

I'd say it has more to do with the climate the car was tuned in and where you're starting it. My car gets left out on the street these days and inside the carport it does start much quicker. Pretty sure the bottom of my hill goes below sea level too, lol. Injector type or size should be pretty irrelevant; the timing and flow of them in the tune will matter more.

Besides, Nismo injectors are love...dat resale value through the roof. Just like my "outdated" PFC!

Need a tiny electric blanket around your fuel line birds.

Heh I was actually imagining doing something like this, but wrapping the whole engine. Also considered giving the fuel lines one of these

Have a huge castle somewhere, so many trap doors and glow in the dark ghosts (actually just a regular Lego man in a ghost sleeve, but aren't they all!

No, I prefer to get irrationally angry at people who get nostalgia about things that are 'silly new things that little kids are into'

Like Pokémon.

How dare this forum autocorrect and add that little thing above the E.

stupid nostalgic forum

well if your car is rwc...why worry?

sif be scared of tmu...just smile and nod politely as you do what they ask, then leave and do what the hell you want anyway

hmm only problem would be too low otherwise car is okay

always rely on much worse cars than yours to steal the spotlight. have seen bagged R32's scrape on modest carpark entrances infront of cops and they just watch to make sure no one does skids.

lol yeah this is true :P or i could just walk, market is pretty close. the melb car meets had a couple of people rev bashing and doing a skid on exit at the docklands one. :/

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
    • For anyone who might be put off by the slightly wacky wheel offset shown on the box photo above, the production models are not like that. Here's some more pics of the actual product (as well as the interior)
