My car has been off the road for a while now as i cant get a mechanic to do a home visit.

Cant tow it as the front bar is to low and it is not good to take it off. (Long story dont ask).

If anyone knows of one that does house calls please let me know.

Symtoms i:- The car is sounding like an outboard motor.

Is it driveable at all though? You might be able to baby it somewhere close.

I have spoken to Dan and i had him booked in a couple of weeks ago.

I changed my spark plugs and it was running ok, so i cancelled him.

Two days later it was running like shit again, called him again but he is to busy and he lives on the other side of town so it would be hard for him travelling in peak hour traffic just to look at my car.

Im thinking i might baby it, but i dont know what damage it might cause to the motor or completly shit itself in morning peak hour, so i dont really want to risk it.

Hey Col does Allstar do house calls.

Im guessing its fouling the plugs. Given you changed them it works, then a bit later it doesnt work and sounds like an outboard... Maybe change them again, if it then works, dont drive it until you can take it somewhere?

Yeah they have only done about 100km.

I pulled them out and cleaned them thinking that it should be ok to get me to the shop, but its still running like shit and they were'nt that dirty unless there f**ked completly some how.

Thanks for the link prego, sounds like i have the symtoms of a rooted coil pack. A good excuse to get some splitfires now.

Yeah it does sound like a wrx.

Its alright Col, Ive finally got my tuner to come over on Monday.

Outboard sounding skyline.. ha ha ha. poor bugger. been there!

sounds like coil packs are not fireing.

check that they can earth out properly. sometimes gunge and corrosion builds up under them!

remove ur plugs to see which one isn't fireing. that will point u at the right cyclinder.

I didn't fix mine until i did compression test!!

I had broken the second compression ring in No: 5!

I"m glad yours is electrical..

Cheers.

eh, if you are worried that it could be something major just take a look at the smoke, if its burning too much oil then u could have a problem, but if its just coils its nothing major, shes driveable.

No there is no smoke, just no power and sounds like shit.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
