Hi guys

ive had a search around the forum but i cant really find the answer to my problems

my second cylinder aint firing on my rb20det :banana: i know this bcoz when i go along and unplug each coilpack, the second one is the only one which doesnt change the cars idling rate

so i started by swappin all my plugs around, and shes still missin on that 2nd cylinder

swapped coilpacks over, still missin

now the only other thing im guessing is whether the injector on that cylinder may be blocked, so i ran some injector cleaner through my car, didnt work

tired another brand of injector cleaner, didnt work

so im hoping its that injector which is fluffed, my question IS - what else could it be if its not the injector?

also, if im to swap to different injectors, which ones are the best to go with?

im kinda leaning towards gtr's with a resistor pack, but i dunno whether more cc's are better or high and low impedence is better

i am lost, sorry moderators if there is a thread similar, i wasnt able to find one

im hoping im not up for big dollars to fix something internal... >_>

ditto.

i had the same problem , turned out to be the loom plug that goes onto the coil....\

look around for any cracks.....take it apart and rewire it if u have too...

shouldnt be anything sinister...

Do you have power at the injector plug? I think it's called a noid light.... plugs onto the injector plug (take it off the injector first) and the light pulses with injector operation....kinda crappy explanation, but yeah....

Take your plug out of the cylinder, start the car, see if it sparks......

if it sparks u know its not ur loom , coil , plug.

put a test light to ur injector plug, start car if the light comes on when the injector fires its good.

(ps dont take ur injector plug off ur injector. just push the test light into the back of the plug.)

the only other thing i can think off is that the fpr is f**ked , its running too low a fuel pressure... and ur high idle is from a lean mixture....

can you adjust ur idle on ur aac?????

check ur fuel pressure, maybe try another reg.

Maybe a big air leak some where????

ill try the test light theory..

ive just installed a new fpr and its running at around 70-75psi

it was still doing the same thing on the standard fpr, so i dnt think its that

a mechanic friend of mine said its most likely the injector that is not working or is blocked, but ive ran two diff types of injector cleaner through it and still no result

if u think its the injector just swap it with another cylinder....

pull cyl 2 and 3 and put 2 into 3 and vice versa... that will tell u if the injector is f*ked

i pulled the coil and plug out and ran an earth wire to the body from the plug and pluged everthing together.....

turn it ova while some1 whatches the spark... if it sparks.. its all good... if it doesnt ,,,, well thats that....

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
