Hey forum need to ask your help with an issue I am having. I will try to be as thorough as possible in explaining the problem. Car just finished a rebuild were everything was replaced, drove car on friday everything was running well. Cut it off after reaching destination and about an hour later started her up and noticed a miss on cylinder 5. Drove it still missing on number 5 and while doing so it backfired very loudly every time I took my foot off the gas. Got to my next destination were I cut it off to check on number 5, found out that the o-ring on the injector was torn so figured that was the source of the problem also at the same time the starter went bad tried to start the car and it would begin to roll but then lock up and the entire engine would shake from it after doing that a few times with the same result decided to get another starter in the morning. Got a starter, a new set of injectors and another cas just in case and replaced ball of those items, got the car started only to get a miss on both cylinder 3 and 6. Checked for fuel and spark on both cylinders and both were getting fuel and spark. Replaced the injector loom, coilpack loom and the two suspect coilpacks with working items off another car and got nothing. Put all the original parts back in started the car again and now only number three misses. Did the checks on number 3 again and got spark plus fuel but cylinder still misses. Can any of you guys help to identify the problem. Car had nismo 555 changed them to 650's running a power fc with new super spark coilpacks. The CAS had also died but that was before this incident and had that replaced already and also replaced it again just n case this time with a known working one. So the miss went from 5 to 3 to 3 and 6 now just to 3. All help will be appreciated, thanks.

WOW nobody has any advice? Another thing is that the #3 cylinder never fires,I drove it home today and when doing my checks noticed it is now the #2 and 3 cylinder that is not firing. The #2 was working fine yesterday and now it is not just like yesterday it was the 6 and 3. Now the 6 fires and the #2 has gone. The #3 never comes and goes like the other 2 have and they just happened to do this between today and yesterday. The #3 was working before the huge backfire but after the starter did the seizing thing and we got it to start again the #3 has never fired since. Can timing being out a tooth cause this type of problem.

pull out the spark plugs and check condition,

your better off getting the injectors the car is tuned with cleaned and checked then put them in with new orings.

but definately need to get the plugs out and have a good look at them even post up some pics.

if you got some money go grab some new cheapy plugs and throw them in see if it makes a difference.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
