I have an r32 skyline wa auto but converted to manual, just installed a fully rebuilt motor and can’t get it running right, #3 cylinder is not firing but I’ve tested the  injector is pulsing when running, changed injector just in case, swapped the coils which made not difference so that ruled out coils because the miss remained in #3 cylinder,   replaced the plugs to brand new ones, checked the wiring harness which had power, checked earths and injector leads, any ideas on what it could be?

Who built the engine? If it wasn't you maybe one cylinder has broken rings. Try a compression test to reassure yourself.

When you say "swapped the coils", do you mean "new set", or swapped #3 coil with a coil from another cylinder? The injector is "squirting"?

Only thing left is the igniter. Or a broken wire on #3 coil loom.

 

 

Swapped over with another coil which resulted in the same cylinder not working. I had a spare igniter there too and swapped that over as well only to find the same problem, I also pulled the insulation off the coil wiring harness to see if the wire was broken but nothing. #3 spark plug is the only one clean as if it’s not biting fuel. I’ve also taken the coil out and tested the spark plug for spark and it has spark so I’m guessing it’s fuel but I’ve changed injectors with no luck either  

No luck as yet, going to compression test all cylinders on the weekend, the mechanic seems to think it’s a washed cylinder from a leaking injector I may have had, the motor has only run maybe 30mins since being rebuilt so don’t know if it’s possible that can happen after only 30 minutes of running? Anyone heard of this?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
