I bought a R32 GTR that was blown on cyl #6 , the guys must of had a million feedback on Ebay because his car was built with the most cheap crap you can find on there ! IDK how he did it but he even managed to get rip off of the actual rip off parts :huh: So out we go with the 26 and all the cheap crap and in with the new 26. When cleaning the head of the old engine out I found the only authentic part on the car :woot: A nice set of Apexi intake and exhaust cam shafts. Must of been there since it left the mother land because i doubt the cheapo that had the car was able to fork out the green for those ... and well ...you cant find them on Ebay :whistling: . They are a few markings on it but nothing I can match online or find info about. Other then calculating the lift and duration by hand is there anyone who has more info on those cam shafts markings ? seems to be a bunch of models for the 26, some of them only fit the Bnr34. The stock lifter buckets were un-shimmed and looked factory , valves and springs are also OEM. The only info i found for rb26 can be seen here : http://www.ooparts-international.co.jp/index/car/listbybrand/apexi/engineparts/index.html

the product codes don't seem to match up with the markings on the cam gears ,

Any info on what to look for would be well appreciated ! :cheers:

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful
