Owned 05 5 spd 4 cyl Altima since new now has 120km on it. Always a good starter, runs well and gives good fuel economy. Lately when hot it does not always start quick ( sometimes hot it is fine), has to turn over a lot.  
Anybody have an idea where I should start looking??

Thanks for any thoughts.

Most likely your original injection pump is causing your hard hot start problems. Another mate got the same issue with his [nissan maxima](http://www.car-stuff.com/nissanmaximaparts.htm) and its most likely the case… Might as well check the batterry??
