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 :-[.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
