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).

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.

      Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
