Friend, It’s worth a shot at that price. Worse scenario re-sell it.

Sometimes when your called out you get a response when it will come back to bite you. IMO

A little sand blast hand gun would take care of that!!

From what we have seen that wasn’t the problem. Someone suggested you check the chokes that was all. You’re going to need a meter and start testing the ignition system and go from there IMO. If number 4 is fouling concentrate on that. #4 plug wire. #4 contact inside and outside the cap etc. etc.

They might have gone bad is @siteunseen point.

There are alignment shops that have a laser system that can dial them in from what I’ve read. Not sure where or how they choose a base line. The article I read was about AWD vehicles and 4 wheel steering similar to the 300zx turbo. Didn’t realize Nissan manufactured one until the Parts manager mentioned they had one in the shop.

Doesn’t sound like you have a choke problem. I have been following the thread and you might want to go back and look what others have suggested concerning the ignition?

There’s a story behind that and I’m pretty sure that will be answered in good time.

That’s what I I read at the time was that he would have a follow up.

I think it might have something to do with interference in the radio circuit . Mounts next to the coil itself. @SteveJ

If you haven’t already Go to the section on the website and download/print the FSM for your car. You will find it to be a better document to follow in the future. Sometimes on eBay you can find a factory FSM for sale. Glad you found the major problem. Probably a little more tweaking to be done but you’re heading in the right direction .

@Zed HeadGood idea. This would open the door to parts we normally aren’t aware of. Me personally I’m not on Facebook.

Ordered from them multiple times. First they take the order then verify the availability and then collect your money. PayPal is the way to go as far as payment IMO. Fast delivery time from Japan.

The question I have is are the seals and pistons readily available? I would think as a minimum you need a seal kit.

Finish putting the engine back together where you have the chance to monitor each phase.

Good call @siteunseen. Easier than the gas can trick but the same result!!

For grins… you can isolate the return line to a gas can and see how much fuel is returning to check the circuit. It should be quite a bit of fuel that cycles through back to the can. A lot more than you imagine. The majority of the fuel being sent gets returned.

It would be extremely helpful if you list everything that is not stock on the entire car. To this point the only thing I saw by the pic was an aftermarket fuel rail. I assume your inj. Dropping resistors are still in place.

How are you getting your fuel pressure readings and how were you able to boost the pressure?

Do you have a fuel pressure measurement reading after the fuel filter?

Either way that engine can finally Breathe!!

You need that spacer from T3. The spacer mounts to the hub then the rotor to the spacer. Should correct your problem. Never tried it without the spacer. Give them a call. They are extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Located in California. $130 a set.
