Feb 20 at 12:21 comment added YCor (In my previous comment I'm referring to rational solutions of the OP's equation $9x^3+y^3=z^2+3$, not the follow-up equation proposed in the comments for whatever reason. Or equivalently integral solutions to the homogeneized equation $9x^3+y^3=z^2w+3w^3$, with $w\neq 0$. With denominator $9$ it thus refers to integral solutions of $9x^3+y^3=9z^2+27$.)
Feb 19 at 13:03 comment added YCor Note that there are rational solutions, e.g. $(4,15,14)/9$, $(7,0,10)/9$, $(10,-9,26)/9$, $(17,-9,38)/18$, $(19,-15,79)/9$, $(-15,48,28)/27$, $(-13,39,35)/18$, $(-3,39,1)/27$, $(-2,27,44)/9$, $(-1,27,11)/18$, $(-53,129,299)/9$, etc. (Just with denominator $9$ one might wonder whether there are infinitely many solutions.)

Feb 18 at 20:51 comment added Will Jagy ran a little program, lots of those...
Feb 18 at 20:45 comment added Bogdan Grechuk The simplest solution to $9x^3+y^3=z^2+3w^2$ with last 2 variables coprime is (3,1,1,9). Or, if you like all variables pairwise coprime, (3,1,13,5).
Feb 18 at 20:36 comment added Will Jagy Good. Next restriction, with $\gcd(z,w) = 1.$ If this is difficult or impossible it may explain some things
Feb 18 at 20:34 comment added Bogdan Grechuk Of course $9x^3+y^3=z^2+3w^2$ is solvable. The simplest solution is (0,0,0,0). Another example is (1,3,3,3).
Feb 18 at 20:29 comment added Will Jagy well, what about $9 x^3 + y^3 = z^2 + 3 w^2 $

Feb 18 at 20:07 comment added JoshuaZ Possibly useful note for extending the search range: Mod 9 shows that $z \not \equiv 0\pmod{3}$, and one can use that to then show that $y \equiv 1 \pmod{3}$.
