Hey all,

I got a r32 gtst-t RB20DET and a few weeksago it was running on 5 cylinders. I unplugged coilpacks one by one and found cylinder 2 was no go. I pulled out the sparkplug and coilpack and cleaned them, put them back in and it was good.

Its just happened again. Yesterday i change oil filter and oil. Then regapped plugs from 1mm to 0.8mm (with feeler gauges) Then started car and it was running on 5 cylinders. Checked them and it was cylinder 2 again. So i bought new plugs and put them in and still same thing. Then i pulled the coilpack off sparkplug and left it connected, started the car and it was definately working as electricity was coming out.

Still no good.... so i compression tested motor and it has 150psi across all cylinders. What could be happening?? Im thinking maybe the igniter??

I bought splitfire coilpacks.. on their way.. but im geussing they dont have a new igniter. Are there any cheap aftermarket igniters? Are r33 and r32 igniters the same? Or is it definately not the igniter///?

cheers

i changed the plugs thinking they may be at fault.

The coilpack is sparking but some one PM me and said its easier for coilpack to spark to atmosphere than it is when its inside engine..

As for the loom.... i have llooked but not many wires are uncovered... i will try a mates loom and see how it goes..

also a question... i had the coilpack plugged into loom but not on sparkplug... turned the car on and sparks were coming from underneath where i expected at bottom of stem... but also at the top... is this not right?? Or is it meant to spark there too. Im guessing its not. Ive been told to put silicone on my coilpacks to increase their performance but never understood what they meant... im thinking maybe put silicome at the top to stop loose sparks??

thanks

ok... so still having troubles really in need of help.

Sum it up... cylindr 2 is not firing still. I know this cause when i unplug cyl 2 coilpack look it stays same (running bad) then any others makes it worse.

Remedies i have tried to fix it but to no avail..

Brand new Colder NGK Spark Plugs

Brand new SplitFire coilpacks

Igniter off a working skyling

Coilpack loom

Compression tested to 150psi

STILL NO GOOD!!!! What else can it be!! Im in dieing need. Please help

Have you checked that its not fuel that is the problem in #2?

Is the injector firing?

jus spoke to mechanic today nd he said to check if injectors r running. I dnt really know what im looking for but i geuss ill put a pices of steel rod against injector and use it as a stethascope (sp) and listen for a little tick. If number 2 had a dull sound it obviously isnt wrking correctly. But he said it still might tick but fuel just might not be getting through.

Ill check this sometime tomoro or sunday and post up.

cheers

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
