Ok, i finally pulled all the covers of today to have a look at my cam timing in my gts2.

Now from what i can tell it looks like some idiot has advanced the cam timing on my cam (to try to gain power i'd assume) but i've read that it actually has the opposite affect on the engine. The whole point of me having a look was due to a friend of mine commenting that my skyline feels unusually slow, i have also replaced just about everything there is to replace ie; sensors, o2 sensor, afm etc etc.

I have looked at the timing section on the r31club site but the pic is crap (to small) and it just says that the cam mark should be in the upper most position, but the engine is on a slight angle so do they mean upper most inline with the engine or just in general (there really should be a mark on the rocker cover or head somewhere).

Heres some pics, crank is on the tdc mark on the crank pulley.

If you think its fine then ill leave it cause i cant get the friggin crank pulley of, i think i have to use a crank puller to get it off.

Thank you fo any help, i need to get this back together by tomorow morning :-[.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
