Hey guys, i changed the water pump and the timing belt on my car, and behind the harmonic balancer is the belt.. and a large washer with a notch for a pin to keep it aligned with the crank etc.. when i put the washer back on, it didn't seem to have the alignment pin go through it.. i was under the assumption the half moon shape pin would push through it when you tightened the balancer back up. Well upon starting the car again.. and revving it after a while, i have a loud rubbing noise( i believe the washer against the metal cover with the timing mark on it). How to do set this up with the notch? is there a second pin other than the half moon for the balancer and ive managed to loose it? Thanks guys.

there are 2 woodruff keys, one for the timing gear and one for the balancer. Assuming you didn't take the timing gear off and did put the one back under the balancer that is not your problem.

still need to pull everything apart again to see what is wrong though....

no i didn't take the timing gear off.. and yes.. i put the one for balancer back on.. though when i put the washer plate back on.. neither of the woodruff keys seemed to go through the washer plate to lock it so to speak.. i think it is just free spinning, and its rubbing on the metal cover shroud and making a hell of a noise.

Does the key from the timing gear come out far enough for the washer plate to lock onto? or does the balancer key meant to hold the plate?

Does it need to have the washer plate on? Does the curled lip around its circumference face the belt or away from the belt? I'm guessing away is the obvious.

So many questions, if only i had taken a reference picture before i got carried away changing things.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
