G'day legends, 

The misses has an R31 GXE Auto which I recently did injector rebuild on. 

I removed the old injectors, had them flow tested and a new seal kit done as there was previously a leak. 
Prior to removal, the main issue was the above mentioned fuel leak, but since completing the reinstallation of the injectors, there has been a really intense misfire. 

-The injectors flow tested perfectly
-A lot of care was taken when installing them, so I don't believe they are will be the issue as of yet. 

So far, I have replaced;
-Dizzy cap and rotor (they were both absolutely cooked)
-CAS (some sort of water entry got in there and made a mess)
-Plugs (Were disgusting)

>The AFM is second hand, and was replaced when the original one died. 
>The Injector plugs are pretty cooked, so that will be my next replacement as it is required anyway. 
>I will need to test the ignition leads, however they were only done about 2 years ago
>Not sure how to check the ignition coil, but seems unlikely it would die straight after the above work was done. (not sure when it was replaced last either)

Sometimes I wonder if I have swapped some electrical connectors around by mistake, but I am confident that they are all in their correct locations. 
I did pressure wash the whole engine bay after the replacement, is it possible I soaked the ECU? (Unsure of ECU location).

Any help would be absolutely amazing, this is doing my head in. 

Cheers!

ECU is in passenger side footwell.

Take the dizzy apart, make sure the CAS disc inside is clean.

I had misfire issues because the CAS was rusty and spilling dirt on the disc (sensor wasn't reading properly hence misfire).

Also does it idle fine? Try unplugging AFM, it should idle and rev to 2,000 rpm fine.

Loads of info on R31 Skyline club wiki

This probably won't have done you any favours. A wet connector block somewhere could be upsetting things. Try some WD40in all the connectors.

Go back to basics man. Compression test. A constant reading is good, a 30 psi or more difference between adjacent cylinders is bad. Disconnect one injector at a time and reconnect until you find the bad cylinder. A good cylinder will run rougher with the injector disconnected. The bad cylinder will do nothing with injector disconnected. Then check for spark. Use a gap tester or remove a spark plug on each cylinder. Don’t forget to remove the fuel pump fuse if you pull the plugs to test. 
 

if all that checks out ok, check for vacuum leaks and injector wiring. 
 

if you’ve pressure washed it you will probably have water somewhere simple, usually in the dizzy cap or spark plug tubes 🙂

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
