hi guyes

the thing overheated and now it wont start :D , it turns over a faster than usual and still wont start . ive come here for some help

things i have checked are

cam is turning as seen through the oil filler hole

turn on key to run and fuel pump is working and feeling the fuel lines they swell so i asume pressure is good

fuses are all good

crank engine and injectors feel as though they are firing good .. all of them..

im thinking the injectors wouldent fire if the ign pickup was dead .is this corect???

it is all looking to me as though there is no spark

will all the ignitor modules fail at once with extreme heat???

could i have fouled plugs??

Turns over faster than usual?

cast block.... alloy head. Sound like expensive compression issues to me - as in a warped head.

compression test...

of course, the igniters do get pretty hot, so its probably worth the time to pull a cupld of plugs and check for firing. Also, in the mean time, someone with more of an idea may reply... I still say warped head. how overheated was it?

compression test...

how overheated was it?

I have to echo what ebola said. You should conduct a compression test as a rough check that the head is still sealing.

And when you say overheated, do you mean there was steam under the bonnet or did the water temp gauge actually move into the wrong side of the dial?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
