Enough info for me! Lizzeh... Wanna swap cars for a sess?

Hey Genelle! I'll see you at Maccas most likely!

Hey Pete, Can we get some more details up, IE, number of cars going to be there, and start time etc?

Car is running... Car is home... Car goes to workshop on Monday for seat + Harness fitting... Can I get put in Lizzehs group just so I can attempt to do a fly by on her down the main straight? (PS: Liz, you'll own me across the bends... This thing is so damn twitchy when getting off the gas...)

I think you should just swap Steve's Supra for your missus instead... Win-Win for you... There's always more fish in the sea with Women... Good luck with the sale, beautiful car!

Glad I checked... This is next Saturday... ROFL Deposit made!

I pulled my AC the other night from firewall forward. Partially for weight, partially for space in engine bay.

Lizzeh! Guess what! MUH CAR STARTS!!! Now... Just to stop the tapping noise... Hmm... If I can't stop the lower timing belt cover touching the balancer... I may just rip it all off... LOL

Collect $20 back at day? Lizzeh? Still coming even if car isn't going?

There are two extra marks on the backing plate. First time EVAR I've farked it up (Done that timing belt 100 times before) throws each gear off by exactly 4 teeth. Will be 100% checking for any damage tomorrow, but it "ran" with WOT (Poorly, but it "ran") No noises... Nothing...

Found my missing timing... Feel like a fool... Oh, and I can clarify, inlet advanced 60degrees compared to crank, and exhaust retarded 60degrees does NOT break or bend valves...

Didn't have the puller with me tonight to rip the harmonic balancer off. It'll be off tomorrow, but it appears they all still line up as they did when we put it on... Something is SOOO bloody weird! Hoping when I get the balancer off it's a few teeth out or something simple... But I bet it all lines up perfect...

Dood... I still don't know what's wrong with my car...

So, the two cam gears are actually in time with each other... They sit on their timing marks whilst the harmonic balancer says 10 degrees BTDC. Will be pulling the harmonic off tomorrow once I pick up the puller and checking it on the actual bottom gear... But things are seeming strange... :S

Guys! This is a cheap day! I paid $200 for my hot laps! And goddamn! Go in that R32, tell Uncy Dunc to wind some boost into it and ZOMG!!!

Unfortunately, at this point in time, I didn't get the choice to put an idler on. I'd already drilled and tapped the block for the tension to be in the upper region, when I went to put the idler on in the spare lower spot, I realised this location was not machined. I attempted for a few good hours to make up "washers" to make it sit flat, but found after a while, there was no chance I'd get it right. Hence, now running two tensioners, one in factory spot, one in the spot advised by the DOHC guide. I do have standard gears on at the moment, going to throw one of the adjustable gears on either today or tomorrow and re do everything again. Does anyone know how I can check if the timing marks on the harmonic balancer are still correct?

Versus taking it to court, maximum penalty imposed, licence CANCELLED (Not just suspended)... I know where I'd be going...

It appears to be all good Duncan, but yes, quite right with timing... Just more then a few degrees... ROFL

Hey All, Just threw another RB30 block into my car after destroying the last one, everythign is being used exactly the same, same sensors etc as before. Problem I now have though, after putting timing belt on (Tensioners are in the "stock" spot, and also where everyone says to put the second one (Drill and tap) as the "spare" spot wasnt machined flat... Anyway, timing is SAVAGELY retarded... Like, way more then a single tooth... As in, I need to throw 50 degrees at it from the ECU + advance it on the CAS, and I'm only getting 12 degrees of timing... We've redone the timing belt, it was all "fine" (Well, inlet was half a tooth retarded, exhaust half a tooth advanced...) I checked the keyway on the CAS... That was all fine... BTW, the only way this car would "start" is with the timing as I said above, but it would only do so at full throttle as the cold start tune is so shit... But when it did, the exhaust got quite hot, quite quickly...

Own a Skyline -> *Tick* A member of SAU -> *Tick* Should be fine mate.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'll come weld solid struts in the car foryou Lizzeh... It might not be ideal, but you'll get out there!!! R33 gear doesn't fit at all?

If timing skipped a tooth, all cylinders would drop down equally. Get him to do a dry and wet test, then post results.

Sell to me super cheap then... Need a car for some spares... Is low comp from head or pistons?

Strange question... Have you earthed the radiator? Not just through the mounts either... Full earth cable... PS... It was never really that hot...

If Stu wants a timer, and what not... Lemme know Stu... Duncan, need to have a chatsie with you and Brad one day soon... Re setting car up properly for a certain race category...
