HI, i have heard of/come across problems like this.
one thing what can be wrong is the coolant temp sensor.
if this is faulty, it can make it hard starting  then run rough like u said cause , this sensor tells the computer to  dump in some extra? fuel when it is cold .
 
it MIGHT be really buggered, and then putting in too much fuel, making it hard to start , then when it does it runs rough for a bit to burn op the extra fuel......

Maybe getting oil or water in the combustion chamber? You losing any oil or water?
Maybe the turbo is a bit sad???

Subject: HArd starting

HI all,
 
Ive got a RB20DET and for a while now its been hard to start, i mean i need to crank it over for about 7-10 seconds with a little accelerator to get it to fire.  Then it momentarily struggles before it gets going.  It isnt as quick as it was either meaning that it is not on a full advance curve.  Im not sure what the problem is, im pretty sure thats its one of the sensors that isnt reading properly but which one?  Any one come accross the same problem with a ECCS controlled motor.  Everything else is fine thou.
 
Compression is all good 140 all round
injectors have been cleaned, coils all work, runs run, plugs are near new and all work.
 
Any idea's???  Im hoping some one has come accross the same problem with another RB or similar?
 
Thanks
 
Chris S
