I had to buy a new engine a while ago and found a motor with a genuine 32,000km.It looks like a R33 but has the smooth black CAS.This means the CAS drive is also different but thats all.The inlet manifold has the extra barb at the front of it as the R34 does but it also has the metal timing belt cover unlike the plastic one on the R34. It isn`t a Stagea obviously as it didn`t come with 4wd sump.Could it be a laurel or cima? The problem is I`m concerned the cams may be different as I still can`t put more than 15deg. into it at the top end.Have new injectors and GCG turbo and no restrictions anywhere as I custom made the dump pipe so even the waste gate is much bigger than anything you can buy on the shelf.

This motor is frustrating the crap out of me.216kws is not good enough.

I`m reaching the limit of my computer inteligence to be on this amazing forum.But to give you an idea,I was at Bel Garage this afternoon and they couldn`t identify it either.Think of a series 2 R33GTST but with smooth round crank angle sensor in black.People I have been to are:croydon,advan,unique,race solutions and internet everywhere.

It runs great and crisp on the throttle with fantastic fuel consumption.I am ready to pull the cams out just to satisfy my own mind all is ok.I`ve heard the R34 doesn`t really go any different with cam gears but what if it has same cam specs as R33? Those cams have to go.Do I here 260deg Poncams?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
