hi i have a 19912 r32 gtr that ive been having issues with ever since the day i bought it, im from canada and i posted on gtr canada and didn't get any responses, i searched for days on both forums and i couldn't find any help with my problem. so i did a compression test and all cylinders are 135-140psi range and i swopped out spark plugs and coil packs and checked power to my wiring harness and its all good, but theres a miss you can hear through the muffler, the car wont idle up over 4k and the boost wont go over 5psi, i changed ecus and checked mafs and they all good, im stuck and dont know what to do from here any input would be great thanks.

I switched coils over to a working coil pack and it still did the same thing, I unplugged one of the working coil packs and there was a drop in revs and rough idle when I did it to that cylinder where I had the problem there was no difference to the idle or drop in rpm it just ran like normal

Um......still not following you properly.

Did you swap out 6 coilpacks to 6 known good ones, or did you only have one known good one to swap in?

Following from that, it sounds like you swapped in a coil on the cylinder where you have a problem. But it is not clear if the problem stayed even with a known good coil. If that cylinder still refuses to fire with a different coil on it, then the problem is not the coil.

If the situation matches what I said above, then it is likely that either the loom is faulty (the plugs and connectors inside can get corroded or broken) or it could be the ignitor module. Those modules are famous for dying and killing only one cylinder. You'll need to swaptronics with a known good one there too.

Ok thanks for your help, do you know of any aftermarket igniters available? And I'm going to put my multimeter on my loom at work tomorrow and see if I can find a problem with the loom.

The 6 channel ignitor.

so my car seemed to run good for a few days, i was not driving the car because of the snow and im getting it inspected, but now the mis fire is gone really bad, i found a boost leak between the intake manifold and intercooler, theres spark at all the other coils except the coilpack closest to the fire wall, i need help please!

Have you changed the ignitor module as previously mentioned ? That is most likely your problem

If not then CAS next, both are well known to fail and drop one cylinder

There is a thread in here with instructions for swapping the GTR ignitor with the Z32 300zx one which is less known for failure

Yes xklaba I've swapped the ignitor with a known workings ignitor still no luck, the car boosts great now and wants to rev up but the mis is just to bad. It's also a little harder to start, won't start without a little gas, I've stripped my wiring loom and there was a bunch of joins in it, ok not sure if they were supposed to be there but doesn't look like a factory harness would be spliced joined and taped.

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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.
