Hey,

ok so ive finally gotten my car out of the garage, but then i decided to take the car up and down the road just to make sure its running sweet,

so i took it to the end of the road (probably didnt go over 30kp/h), then on the way back boosted it a tiny bit maybe only to about 4g then changed gear, it then dropped a cylinder which is what ive been having troubles with, then it drop a few more made a noise and then stalled, (the noise sounds like the piston slapping when it drops a cylinder),

So This is driving me crazy with it keep dropping cylinders and what not, what could it be?

I have changed the sparkplugs many times between iridiums and coppers,

I have installed a 500hp fuel pump

Split fire coil packs,

changed igniter,

changed resistor pack,

checked the injector (visual check) injector 6 was pissing out fuel from when i first install them but it looks fine now,

fuel pressure is fine, on idle i think it was 37psi,

i have a dr drift ecu and z32 afm, but i dont know why it would drop cylinders like it is, if i turn the car off and back on most the time all cylinders will be firing but then will soon stuff up again?

im pretty over this and thing of taking it to a workshop,

Cheers JV

Sounds like a good suggestion.

Have you tried talking to Sam about it?

who's sam?

yeah its just i cant figure out the problem i dno why its doing this?

EDIT: o u mean dr drift, yeah the car wasnt running right to start with turned out ti was the alternaotr that went in it so it was trying to run of battery, thats all fine now, and its not the chip because it did the same with a stock computer and afm in there,

did a ecu test and it came back all ok

Nah, I meant have you spoken to Sam about diagnosing it?

Or did you get his chip done through some other place like Mercury?

nar i havnt, i sent my ecu down to sam to chip, it has nothing to do with the ecu though as i installed a stock ecu and afm to see if it was the problem but it wasnt,

on another forums some1 has suggested that it could be the grounding from engine and battery? maybe thats why when the revs gets higher and so does the charge if the ground is shit then it screws up? possible? sounds like it might have something to do with it?

z32afm has been tested and is fine, alternator is fine, fuel pressure and fuel pump are fine, coils are fine, changed the injector harness and injectors, split fire coilpacks are fine, coilpack harness has been changed to a fresher 1, (did the same thing on the old harness though) changed igniter, and resistor pack, so maybe it is the grounding? cause if it was cas then it would come up on the ecu check? and normally when the cas goes then the car wont run at all,

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
