OK, my 32R has been at the panel shop for 3 weeks.

They are very slow - it is only minor work.

It has moved all of maybe 80m in the 3 weeks, and started fine this morning, but was running rough (apparently).

It would not start tonight, and hence is still at the panel shop.

Only mod is turbo back exhaust. Plugs replaced and gapped at .8mm about 2 months ago. It cranks, but will not fire.

Is it the plugs, or coils? Anything else?

We are trying a new set of plugs tomorrow... could the car only moving around a shop for 3 weeks foul the plugs?!

Thanks in advance :P

edit - it is getting fuel, as we can hear the pump and smell unburnt fuel being spat out... and it has sat at a mechanic for two weeks prior to going to the panel shop

If youve got fuel than its definetly a spark problem, check your plugs even though they are new because if its been flooded and the workshop dudes kept cranking it then theyll be fouled, if that doesnt work test your coils, I had this problem a few weeks ago, too much fuel going in with the cold start fuel map...Good luck.

I know this is gonna sound silly, but check you filter and intake pipes for rags.  At my shop we like to stuff rags in the while working to keep the intake clear of dust.

Thanks Jon sometimes the most obvious answer is the one! Only thing is the car was started in the morning :D

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
