Hey guys I have a r33 skyline gtst I have 0 spark from cylinder 5. I can change coils around still wont fire I've replaced the coil harness with brand new one also I got used oem coils still wont fire I've tested the wires from ecu to the plug end all show resistance, I'm starting to think it's my ecu that went bad, but I don't what to keep dishing out more money for no reason I've read every post on misfiring that I could find and 0 have helped me out Any help is appreciated a ton

Are you sure it's not firing - you've removed the coil and stuck a spark plug in, and there is no spark?

That's one third of the equation. Another third of the equation is fuel. Does the injector work?

The final piece of the equation is compression. Do you have compression?

Yes I've used a spark plug tester so I know I'm getting no spark at all to that coil what so ever. I don't see how a compression test would solve it not sparking or an injector not working either? which is leading me to think the ecu went bad out of no where this all started after I decat my car and put in a downpipe so i put a wideband in got two 20 mins rides out of it and its been misfiring since.

also forgot to mention its a series 2 rb25det

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
