Questions:

Is there anyway to check that the injectors are firing without removing them all?

Also is it worth checking the voltage running to each injector from the resistor pack, if so then what should it be and whats it measured as - ohms?

When I crank the car on the Power FC hand commander it says INJ duty is 1.9% then it decreases as I keep cranking it - does that indicate that the injectors are firing?

Unbolt the CAS from the front of the engine, plug it into the loom and with the key in the on position turn the CAS by hand. You will hear the injectors firing (clicking), and if you take the spark plugs out you should be able to see them sparking too. The CAS sits on a keyed shaft (halfmoon shape) so it will only fit on one way can be a bit fiddly to get the shaft lined up but it's not too hard. You'll have to check your timing again with timing gun afterwards, might be a good idea to mark it's original position with a paint pen before removing it so you can put it on relatively close to its original position

We rechecked everything one by and one everything else was fine

The wire running to the resistor pack had power but it turned out the resistor pack it self didn't have power to it which was quiet weird

Rechecked wires and the power wire to the resistor pack was broken were it met the resistor pack wire! Re soldered that wire and there was power to the pack

Turned the car over and it started but there was a miss fire

Traced it back to injector 3 not firing - so we had to reopen up the loom and check what had gone wrong

The solder on injector 3 wire had broken because it had been bent/forced when taped up so we had to split the loom and re solder that - that involved removing the throttle body and a few other fiddly bits

Anyways soldered and re taped that wire up, mounted the resistor pack

Configured the PFC and its running mint now

im glad you got it sorted mate, good to hear.

im doing the same thing but my issue is that it started straight with the PFC but as soon as the temp increases i get a bad miss. basically

2 minutes after starting and then its gets really bad

on your injector loom were there 2 other wires which share the common 12v feed? i think they are for the temp sensor and TPS.

basically i put the 6 injector wires through the resistor pack and then joined the power wire from the pack and the 2 extra wires to the common 12v on the loom.

so it looks like the pic attached

it shouldnt be a problem as its basically the same as before and only the injectors are going through the resistor.

ive got a guy coming out to re test the injectors on tuesday but if they come up ok im back to square 1 and like you i really dont want to go back to stock to test.

any ideas from anyone?

Here's a clue......the power wire to the resistor pack should be connected DIRECTLY to an unswitched +12V supply line. From the factory, the GTR resistor pack +12V supply is connected more-or-less directly to the positive terminal of the battery (in fact, with the ECCS injection system used by all RB's and other Nissan engines, the positive feed to the injectors is connected directly to the positive side of the battery...all power switching is done via the ECU).

thanks for the info that makes sense being that the signal wire opens the injector. i have re checked everything and no change but the miss seems to be contained to just the 2nd cylinder and i have ruled out coils and plugs so ill get the 2 injector checked on tuesday.

aside from that the car is running mint as it finally starts first time everytime even with the remote start.

can wait to get this fixed and tuned

ive rechecked everything and got the injectors re flowtested so its not that. but for the first post i looked and my hand controller and found the the INJ settings were still at 100% and no correction. will this cause my miss fire?

also if i flip over the pfc unit while the car is turned on it makes a ticking noise and the car shuts off. is this a safty of the unit?

this is driving my nuts guys but im slowly ticking things off

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
