Just dropped in a 68k Rb26 with HKS 2510 turbos into my 32 gtr. She started up really easy idled really really rough and blew alot of white smoke. This finally cleared so i guess it was just oil from the engine sitting around for a long time.

Heres the current problem. It is really really slow to free rev takes ages to get to even 4k. Stabbing the throttle does stuff all compaired to my old rb20.

Taking it for a test drive tomorrow to see how it goes.

Now I know there is one problem the CAS was loose. We have set the timing to where it idles the best and tightened it up. Want to get a timing light on it but cant see how with the coil plugs.

Any ideas on setting timing and the possable problem?

you can still use a timing light to find the base timing id say its either CAS or maybe the timing belt now put on properly possible skipped tooth?

Where do you hook the timing light up too? i doubt its skipped a tooth on the timing as belt is well tensioned and was not removed being a 68k engine it should be due for replacement yet.

Taking ages to spin up is probably due to timing too retarded, so that maximum combustion pressure occurs after TDC. Using a timing light on RB-series engines has been covered numerous times.

Did you get the injectors cleaned before you installed the engine.

... Running some injector cleaner through it with the fuel. ...
Pretty much a waste of time, if the injectors are already dirty. And if the engine has been sitting around for a while, who knows what condition they are in?

Run a HT (conventional coil lead) lead between the coil pack and spark plug and clip the timing light on that.

Timing gun attached and working. Just need to be 100% sure about setting the timing.

Idle at 950rppm timing should be set to 20deg BTDC

From left to right what does each mark represent? I think i have it done right but just want to make sure.

Have searched through the gtr service manual but at 300 pages i haven't found anything yet.

Cheers for the help

Details are shown on page EN-11 of the genuine service manual......28 pages in from the start of the manual (well, it is in my electronic version)

Don't know how I missed that part. OK Timing set now. Issue with coil pack fixed and she now seams to be running alot better.

Al tho its now blowing a heap of white smoke when i give it a bit of throttle. Smells like oil burning. Could it be oil in the cooler pipes from the old engine?

May as well update this even tho car is gone.

White smoke was from a massive build up of oil in the cooler pipes from the old engine.

Engine problem was due to dodgy silicon joiner that would only open up under boost. Car ran perfect after this.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
