Hey all,

I recently followed the AAC clean tutorial and Air Reg clean tutorial on here and now i've run into some problems!

After completing both and putting everything back in the car i had high idle/reving.

Car was also shaking alot and when i took the car for a drive i had no power and car wouldn't go.

The idle issue has been fixed now but i still have the problem where the car is shaking like a mofo and i suspect a lost cylinder or something along the line.

I only thing i took off and touched was the throttle body, AAC and Air Reg so i can't understand why i would have these issues.

Anyone able to give me some advice?

Thanks.

hey guys,

after some investigating it seems engine/cylinder 6 is not running.

At first when i pulled out spark plug it was wet!

so i swapped over a new spark plug. It fixed it for like 30mins and then i had issues again.

this time i pulled out sparkie it was dry... i checked all other sparks and they are fine as well.

so i did the test where i pull the plug off each coil pack 1 by one and see if engine reacts.

all cylinders react except for #6!

i swapped the coil pack with #1 but its still the same.

so i can rule out spark plug and coil pack. i'm pretty sure i can rule out injector? as it made the spark plug wet the first time?

so what else could be the issue?

any advice on what else i can check would be great!

thanks.

If you have a multimeter, try probing a working cylinder to see what the normal output is to its coil plug, then try 6th coil plug and compare the 2, it might not be getting power/spark/whatever to it

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
