We dyno'd my car back in may and got 487rwhp, since then the boost only went up when i was game enough to use it on the street (not very often)

Ended up with a oil leak and had to change my timing belt (soaked in oil) and some cam seals to fix the issue and when it went back together the cam timing was out one and a half teeth.....

& This is what it did to the dyno results, a loss of 60hp at the wheels on the same boost.

Cant wait to get it back to where it was before put this Nismo clutch in and go down the track! I want some high mph and a 1.7 60 ft :( (yeah its nice to dream)

Anyway has anyone seen this kinda drop in power? the car still feels really good off boost its just lower power & torque... its running .80 lambda all the way through.

Il post a video of the dyno run later

thats normal to have a loss of that much power when your talking the power your car makes.

you should know more then anyone to turn the crank over twice (one engine cycle) and re-check the timing marks on the timing gears :yes:

however on a side note these are the typical gains that can be had if you have a set of cams that require dialing in with adjustable cam gears, even if you put the cams to factory spec/timing marks you don't make the power you can if you dial them in properly to the engine as per specs supplied by cam manufacturer.

poncams seem to make best power when setup to standard specs however from all reports.

  • 4 years later...

I know its a old thread but i think i may have the same problem but could be something else as turbo and cams where also fiddled with at the same time.

exhaust mani gasket was changed and cam caps where undone as i was going to remove the head but in the end i didn't so all was put back together, timing checked several times (dots lined up with backing plate mark and crank keyway was straight up)

I get a major flat spot from 3500~ to about 5000~ rpm it just hardly moves up the rev range but still makes 14psi as it did before changing timing belt..

CAN having the timing out a few teeth that when VCT kicks in its choking up?? as it comes sort of good after 5-6000rpm and feels ok good under 3000rpm..

could i have got something else wrong other than timing that would chock it up but still make same boost?

Are you still running the RB25? because I would imagine 99% of Guil-toys's problems would have been due to running a Rb3025 like me. which means that unlike a RB25 you most often are required to run 2 tensioners instead of 1 tensioner and a idler. IE on a 25/26 you only have 1 side to cause you greif. Unlike the 30 where you gotta try and balance tightening the timing belt with 2 tensioners while keeping the cams in the correct position in relation to the crank. Well that was my issue with my rb30 any way.

If you do have a 25, I would say your probly right about either the cam timing being out or even the CAS sensor being done incorrectly. like the 1st time I did my motor. I some how managed to time the motor off the wrong wire going to the coils instead of going straight at the #1 coil and the motor was about 10-15 degree's out and drove like an absolute dog.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
