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,

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
