Been having the same issue. Starter is getting too hot, its the warmer weather for me. I added more heath shielding around the starter, heat wrapped my headers and added some ducting to push cool air from the front of the car to the underneath of the starter.

maybe where you park at work the fuel drains back out of the rail. try turning the key to on for a little bit before hitting start

Similar issue on my old mans ae82 with a silvertop.... But i have NFI what it is.

When cranking what does your tach read? Not sure if 500rpm is normal, but that is what my old man is getting.

It might pay to also check that the FOC is wired right on yours, so the fuel pump is being powered whilst you are attempting to start.
