I have an r32 skyline wa auto but converted to manual, just installed a fully rebuilt motor and can’t get it running right, #3 cylinder is not firing but I’ve tested the  injector is pulsing when running, changed injector just in case, swapped the coils which made not difference so that ruled out coils because the miss remained in #3 cylinder,   replaced the plugs to brand new ones, checked the wiring harness which had power, checked earths and injector leads, any ideas on what it could be?

Who built the engine? If it wasn't you maybe one cylinder has broken rings. Try a compression test to reassure yourself.

When you say "swapped the coils", do you mean "new set", or swapped #3 coil with a coil from another cylinder? The injector is "squirting"?

Only thing left is the igniter. Or a broken wire on #3 coil loom.

 

 

Swapped over with another coil which resulted in the same cylinder not working. I had a spare igniter there too and swapped that over as well only to find the same problem, I also pulled the insulation off the coil wiring harness to see if the wire was broken but nothing. #3 spark plug is the only one clean as if it’s not biting fuel. I’ve also taken the coil out and tested the spark plug for spark and it has spark so I’m guessing it’s fuel but I’ve changed injectors with no luck either  

No luck as yet, going to compression test all cylinders on the weekend, the mechanic seems to think it’s a washed cylinder from a leaking injector I may have had, the motor has only run maybe 30mins since being rebuilt so don’t know if it’s possible that can happen after only 30 minutes of running? Anyone heard of this?

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
