Hi Guys,

Just seeing if anyone has had a similar issue.... Ive had this car for about 6 months and have had on going starting issues. Ill put a list of mods done so you can get a basic idea.

-GT3582r

-External Gate

-Haltech plug and play platinum

-Sard 1000CC injectors

-300l/hr fuel pump

The issue is it wont start at all when cold some times and if it does/when it does it misfires quite bad till its warm. Ive used a snapon Spark tester and it has spark and definably has fuel as it smells soooo fuely. It will also make a massive backfire if i keep cranking it when it doesn't start. The timing is 100%. The car made 290Kw on 15psi with no issues.

Ive tried replacing the CAS - ECU - Plugs - and Ignition module.

Im stuck for idea's. Only thing i haven't replaced is the coils but i'm sure that wouldn't cause it to not start completely.

Any help would be amazing....

Cheers

Jacob

More like: People going full aftermarket ECU's that don't have Nissan Cold Start in them, then tuners not spending proper time on Cold Start correctly.

Tuning the car for power is the easy part, most tuners tend to just start off with a rough base type map, and adjust from there.

It's getting the economy, cold start, return to idle, A/C load etc etc all takes a bit more than a couple of hours, and this is why good tunes actually cost a reasonable amount of money.

Could also be the wrong plugs in the car as well.

Side question, why only 290rwkw @ 15psi? Whole lotta lag for the power. You'd be better off with a 3076 and picking heaps more in the midrange.

The ecu was tuned by rick at cmr. I believe the cold start map.is fine because it's a intimitant problem. One minute it starts fine and then it won't start at all the next. We were going to tune for more power but its only got standard coils and a standard cooler letting it down. It's got me f**ked. Have put a standard ecu in and it's had the same issue. Got me f**ked.

Can't believe anybody mentioned coolant temp sensor or plug/wiring faulty. Check this before anything else, especially if its an intermittent fault.

Edit: Sorry, missed the part about weak spark. If coils are standard, they could be at fault too.. Greater load on them during cold start.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
