Hi all, I am having trouble with my S2 R33 GTST, have had a look around the forums but so far nothing has really helped.

The problem is when the car gets warm it just dies (can crank it over but wont fire) and wont start again until cold.

When the car is cold it starts first turn of the key and will drive around and wont miss a beat until its warm and then wont start again.. The problem has been occuring for a little while now but thought it was fixed after unplugging the ECU (Nistune) it didnt happen for about 150k's (the car doesn't get driven very often)

Have swapped the cas and afm (Z32) for known working units and it didn't make a difference, plugs look alright and the Splitfire coilpacks are only around 8 months old also unplugging the coolant temp sensor doesn't do a thing.. Car also drinks a fair amount of fuel round about 300 Kilometers to a tank on 98.

Could this be an issue with the tune? any help would be greatly appreciated cheers.

Does it crank slow ? Like a flat battery ? Could be your starter motor solenoid sticking/faulty, a friend had an old hilux that would start fine when cold but once up to running temperature, if he turned it off he wouldn't be able to start it for a few hours till engine was cool again.

Hey guys sorry for the delayed reply..

Answers to previous comments..

defari- temp gauge says abit under half when it dies

blind_elk - Wont start if i give it any throttle just floods it and runs like shit when it eventually fires haha..

Lrs94- Nah doesn't crank like a flat battery cranks like normal

Kane_R32 - Fuel pressure is good after car shuts off

mlr- Where abouts are connections on chassis and block?

UPDATE- Turns out the cas i tried turned out to be an RB20DET one plug was the same but apparently the timing is different? And i ran the car the other day and when it got to temperature it didn't shut down and even took it around the block and let it sit at home idling and didn't die? :wacko:

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
