Hi, just resprayed my timing cover and have reinstalled it, but now my idle is very rough... I marked the timing unit on the front when i pulled it out, the timing is now exactly as it was set before

One question though, the little keyway in the middle that spins, does it matter if thats turned around a few times while off the car? it's lined up and connected fine now

Also had the cover off for my injector loom (it's the one on the left side of engine facing boot, just below the pressure bleed nossel, roughly 30 cm long and yeh inside is the loom) likely that this could have messed it up? guessing idle would be rough if one of the injectors wasnt workn

Edited by 123456

check the position of the cas on the inside it could be slightly off check where it locates on the cam shaft and just make sure all the plugs are clean and pushed on properly on the injector loom

there should be a half moon key on the cas and on the cam shaft make sure they are lined um properly when re installing the cas or it will cause the car to run like crap or not even start at all and if you snapped it off you just have to try to locate it slowly to make sure its in the right place

ah, nah i made sure the half moon part slid in smoothly (i'm assuming if it didnt slide in then i wouldnt be able to get the unit all the way back into the cover, right)?

I'll whip it off anyway again, but doubt it's broken on account of how easily it went into place

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
