Default Problems Starting Z!

Does everyone's car take a few seconds to start? When I turn the key the engine takes quite a few seconds to fire up when cold. Is this normal for everyone?

I don't know what the deal is. I tried driving it a little harder than usual last night just for the hell of it, and this morning it fired up immediately. Weird, but I'm gonna have it checked out anyway.

Thanks for the input guys!

Mine starts very quickly, even back in January when it was frigid. You should probably take it to the dealer to be looked at. This is the first that anyone posted anything like this so, it may be a problem with your car...

mines starts on time, but it has a different sound everytime I start the car...sometimes I get a nice growl from the exhaust, and sometimes it sounds like it struggled to get going

Mine always starts quickly. Just like my 95 Maxima with 110K miles on it. I would have it check out. BTW, my OEM ground cable was loose on the battery post.

Mine starts pretty quickly,..but damn,when it comes on some times,...it like "Blow's up" starts up,..like real loud--I think its cuz of the resonator removed--it's like "BOOM" and its runnin fine!! actually pretty cool,...
Hard to explain,..but gotta get my resonator put back in--I'm sick of that sound above 4K--sounds like **** now,..not @ first but does now
