And after rereading your post, you disturbed the loom and it got worse, so that seems to point to the loom.

Is 5 heat range stock? That's a pretty hot plug. I use 7 heat range, most guys say go with 6 or 7. Not 5.

how i check them was pull each connetor of one at time to here to miss

That's the smart way to do it.

You can then swap coils and see if the miss moves, letting you pinpoint coil or loom.

i got them off a member off here there is spark in cyl 3 going to test cyl6 after work i got a feeling it may be a boost leak but i think maybe the coil loom is on its way out so ill just pull it all apart again tomoz and see how i go with it all just a sill question say if i a plug the loom wrong like had one swapped around will this cause a miss?

What you might want to do is a compression test on all cylinder. After that's Ok. Take out all the coil packs and unplug them along with the injector harness. Then remove the CAS sensor and test by plugging in one coil at a time from any cylinder. Let's say number one. Turn the CAS sensor clockwise with the ignition key on holding the coil with spark plug in it . You will see the spark plug fire. That ecu channel would be good and coil and plug would be good as well if spark is present. Repeat this on all coil and ecu channels. You can use this method for injectors, but a noid light would be safer and easier. I have had this happen to me and it was the plug on the ecu.

Hope it helps mate.

      RB25DET Solid lifter conversion

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...

      Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.

      r34 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
