As the title suggests my skyline sounds like it's missing.

I bought this car as a doer upper and have since got it running and 99% put back together but now I've got another issue

THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE ARE.

I have checked for air leaks with pressurised smoke.

Also tried the carbi cleaner trick but no change.

I have replaced the plugs but no change.

I have replaced the coil packs with red split fires.

I have checked timing marks all line up. and they do.

I have checked the wiring. NO PROBLEMS

TODAY

I'm going to take off 1 coil lead at a time and see if I can find which cylinder is playing up.

I haven't done a comp test yet.

I have heard of people going through a years paycheck finding the issue and it turned out to be a bum coil or plug. But seeing as there both new they should be ok.

I will keep this post going so just maybe I can save others from waiting time and money.

Right. Job done.

What I done

I started be removing the plugs to the coils

Started with No#1. NO DIFFERENCE.

No#2 NO DIFFERENCE.

No#1 and No#2 NO difference (Weird I know)

No#3 No#4 No#5 No#6 all made a difference.

Pulled No#1 coil and Plug out and earthed it and it put out a nice big spark.

Pulled No#2 coil and Plug out and earthed it and it put out a nice big spark.

So I replaced them both coils and plugs and removed the

No#1 Injector plug. I put an LED into it and it was pulsing.So then I removed the No#1 Injector.

A couple of the yellow bits on the pintle were busted. But other then that it looked fine.

I removed the fuel pump fuse and turned it over whilst holding injector in my hand

and if it was working I would have felt a CLICK CLICK that they make when there

pulsing the fuel in. NOTHING.

Thought it might need an earth so I sat it in an earth but nothing still.

RESULT.

All coils were firing on time with the timing.

All plugs were receiving good current and producing more then ample spark.

All injector plugs were fine and all were making good pulse.

All injectors except No#1 & No#2 made pulse.

SOLUTION

REPLACE 2 injectors with ones borrowed from a friend

And see if that fixes the issue. If so. Replace ALL INJECTORS and top half inlet gasket

And some pipes that are hard to get to unless the intake is separated.

NEXT UPDATE WHEN I GET SOME INJECTORS.

Do a compression test - you may have broken rings on 1 and 2 - you would be amazed at how well an RB25DET can go on four cylinders!

And try a known good CAS to see if that makes a difference (you can often tell a dud CAS by trying to spin it when it is off the car).

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
