R33 GTST Series 2

Splitfire Coilpacks
660cc injectors
Fully adjustable Coilovers
Nistuned
Turbo Timer
Bosch z32 AFM
Gready Front Mount Intercooler
Boost Gauge
Boost Tee - Set to 13psi
Problems I am having is every time I start the vehicle when the motor is cold, it runs rough only when I'm accelerating and then once it is at normal operating temperature, it's fine to drive. Sometimes I will turn it off after a long drive (at normal operating temperature) then start car again and the Idle goes pretty high (can't say what to as tacho is inop.) It's like it thinks it's cold and putting more fuel in.
I replaced the spark plugs and they were all black.
When the motor was running, I removed a coil at a time but couldn't tell any difference as the problem only happens when motor under load.
I bought this car roughly 1 month ago and previous owner didn't tell me about this problem....very sneaky but got it cheaper than what he had the original price at.
Where do I go from here? What is the next thing to look at? Could it be simple as the tune not setup right.

I have heard that nistune can be problematic on 33's. I wonder if that could be your issue. Your best course of action will be to get a tuner with nistune experience to take a look at it and see what's going on. Hopefully just needs a slight tweak.

I thought I'd update this thread for future use.

I did send my car to a tuner and they fixed the problem. No cold start issue anymore, they said it was running too lean, adjusted a few things, also checked the timing and idle too.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
