Hey guys,

I've just recently got into getting myself an r32 from having a few sr20s

My rb20det, standard except a exhaust. Has a weird issue on cold start that I cannot work out.

In mornings, the car will crank over, idle and become to warm up. But when I start to drive the car from 0-2000rpm it feels like it's hitting a wall until passed 2k then will drive perfectly fine. Now the weird part is if I even drive 3 houses down. Turn the car off and back on. Even though its still cold. It won't hesitate at all and drove perfectly fine.

I've done fault code tests to only come up with 55, I've cleaned the afm. Changed plugs, cleaned out coilpacs, I haven't yet had a chance to fiddle with the AAC unit just yet.

I figured it might be an ecu issue and by turning on and off the car it was resetting the cold start. But I have since swapped out the ecu for a working one off a friend with no change.

Anyone had this issue or can anyone enlighten me on it being something to do with AAC valve?

Thanks!

Car runs rich until water temps hit 65degrees. This hesitation disappears when the water temp setpoint is met.

I have heard stories similar to yours in that you can turn off/on to over-ride the cold start fuel map but when I gave it a shot it made no difference for me...

Not sure if that helps.

I bought the car with water pump replaced. It takes forever to warm up. I may try driving it from cold and install my after market gauge and see if that is correct.

Cheers for the reply

sounds like thermostat is stuffed if car takes forever to warm up. Means the car would always be running rich. Check that out.

I just drove it today. As I hardly drove it. Hasn't been started in couple days, it's a nice warm 27 degree day. Stated and idled perfect, drove it, does the rubber band effect till I turn the car off an then back on. Then it drives fine?

I also let the car warm up while it was doing the hesitation and it didn't change. Only until I turned it off and then back on straight away.

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
