Hey,

ok so ive finally gotten my car out of the garage, but then i decided to take the car up and down the road just to make sure its running sweet,

so i took it to the end of the road (probably didnt go over 30kp/h), then on the way back boosted it a tiny bit maybe only to about 4g then changed gear, it then dropped a cylinder which is what ive been having troubles with, then it drop a few more made a noise and then stalled, (the noise sounds like the piston slapping when it drops a cylinder),

So This is driving me crazy with it keep dropping cylinders and what not, what could it be?

I have changed the sparkplugs many times between iridiums and coppers,

I have installed a 500hp fuel pump

Split fire coil packs,

changed igniter,

changed resistor pack,

checked the injector (visual check) injector 6 was pissing out fuel from when i first install them but it looks fine now,

fuel pressure is fine, on idle i think it was 37psi,

i have a dr drift ecu and z32 afm, but i dont know why it would drop cylinders like it is, if i turn the car off and back on most the time all cylinders will be firing but then will soon stuff up again?

im pretty over this and thing of taking it to a workshop,

Cheers JV

Sounds like a good suggestion.

Have you tried talking to Sam about it?

who's sam?

yeah its just i cant figure out the problem i dno why its doing this?

EDIT: o u mean dr drift, yeah the car wasnt running right to start with turned out ti was the alternaotr that went in it so it was trying to run of battery, thats all fine now, and its not the chip because it did the same with a stock computer and afm in there,

did a ecu test and it came back all ok

Nah, I meant have you spoken to Sam about diagnosing it?

Or did you get his chip done through some other place like Mercury?

nar i havnt, i sent my ecu down to sam to chip, it has nothing to do with the ecu though as i installed a stock ecu and afm to see if it was the problem but it wasnt,

on another forums some1 has suggested that it could be the grounding from engine and battery? maybe thats why when the revs gets higher and so does the charge if the ground is shit then it screws up? possible? sounds like it might have something to do with it?

z32afm has been tested and is fine, alternator is fine, fuel pressure and fuel pump are fine, coils are fine, changed the injector harness and injectors, split fire coilpacks are fine, coilpack harness has been changed to a fresher 1, (did the same thing on the old harness though) changed igniter, and resistor pack, so maybe it is the grounding? cause if it was cas then it would come up on the ecu check? and normally when the cas goes then the car wont run at all,

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
