R32 Running On 4 Or 5 Cyl

Well I finally got my stroked rb20 running yesterday but as soon as it started could hear she wasn't firing on all cylinders, We tested the injectors there all clicking away, took annd the coilpaks out and earthed them all with the plus in them and spun the CAS and they all spark.

I am stuck for ideas why its not running correctly, can anyone shed any light on why or what could be causing this to happen ?

Cheers

Cameron

Igniter? coil harness?

Did you unplug each coil one at a time to narrow down which cylinders weren't firing?

Of course Bubba,

Tried each injector, and each coil pack on top of the engine and they all sparked.

Number 3 isn't firing whilst unplugging while running the engine.

Yes but they all don't cover all the injectors working fine and all the coils sparking and all brand new plugs and it still does it.

is the spark a good spark or just a spark, as if the coils are worn or the harness is stuffed they will still spark yet not properly, also have you checked the timing?

Coils are brand new used them for all of 1km driving before the engine came out. I am thinking its in the harness or the ignitor I had a quick search but is there nay way to test the ignitor?

Timing is spot on the mark.

The principles are the same.

Number 3 isn't firing whilst unplugging while running the engine.

If #3 isn't working, then they are not "all fine". To repeat the several squillion threads, it's simply a matter of moving / swapping component locations to determine which part of the system is kaput.

And to add, We have switched the coilpacks around and the problem stay on number 3, we have also switched the injectors around.

I have read countless threads where Coilpacks are stuffed or sparkplugs are fouled up..

This case is different, I have even tried 3 sets of brand new spark plugs, 2 sets of coppers and 1 set of iridium's

We tested all the coilpacks at once but earthing them all along the top of a peice of steel earthed ot the car all of them fired when rotating the CAS, we did similar with the injectors only plugging one in at a time and spinning the CAS they all make the clicking sound when they fire.

I wouldn't of made a new thread if this was like the "squillion other thread"

The things I am yet to try is a different ignitor and different harness but have tested continuity from the ecu harness to the engine bay and all check out fine even while jiggling the harness looking for loose or broken connections.

These 2 statements don't correlate. Either they all work, or #3 has a problem. Which one is it?

Yes, This is why I don't know why its not firing... They all sparked yet when you run the engine number 3 doesn't fire this is my problem.

Understood that if the coilpack didnt make spark to try another and see if it sparks, but what happeneds if it does spark? and changing to another coilpack still provided the same spark yet when its all on the engine it doesnt fire it?

Ok, so while you are testing the coils, they are at a different angle to when they are "installed". That might suggest a fault in the wiring to #3 coil. Have a play with the wiring to the coil while the engine is running, see if that has any effect.

Ok well, Seem to have found the problem being the number 3 injector... I took it out because it wasnt functioning.. put 12v on it no clicks... tapped it a few times tried 12v again and it started to click again. Hopefully when I put it back together it all works fingers crossed

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
