G'day guys,

i picked up my new skyline (r32GTST with bigger turbo[10psi], FMIC, exhaust and intake.) last week and now its time to sort out the problems.

spent all morning trying to pinpoint why exactly the sixth cylinder is not firing. Tested for spark, and its fine. compression is fine.

i swappd the coils and plugs over to make sure, but the problem stayed with No.6. I verified this by disconnectig the No.6 coil

plug at idle and it made no difference to how the engine ran. . . so then i took the spark plug ot of No.6 and ran the engine. i

couldnt smell any fuel coming from the cylinder...

so this makes me think its a fuelling problem. am i right? or are there more tests i should do? if not, how do i test the fuel system?

lol where do i go from here :)

Thanks guys any help is appreciated!

Rowdy.

shine a light down the spark plug hole after you have tried starting it / running it. it should be wet with fuel (if it isn't firing). if it's not wet, then swap it with a known working injector. if the problem stays with no. 6, then you'd have to check the wiring? :S

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
