hi all have just got myself an r33 , had a previous repair on the belt and after setting everything up according to all timing marks i have no compression on any cylinders , any help on fixing this issue will be appreciated

What happened to the last belt? If it was snapped while driving then the engine is probably a throw away.

before you go removing the head, remove tappet covers and see if either any valves have stuck down (ie bent) or if any can be pulled out spring and all (ie broken valves)

Cant see all the valves in every cylinder kissing pistons therefore should have some pressure....you're clearly doing something wrong.

....and if a valve hits a piston, the whole motor is not necessarily a throw away.

removing the head will be the last option , will be removing the tappet covers tomorrow to check out everything else . not much else you can do wrong if you set everything the way the factory says to ( ie using all of the timing marks etc ) even with no belt the motor still free spins with all the plugs in it

no i didnt , it seems that the previous owner has spent a lot of time trying to get this thing running again and has just told me that once they had fitted the timing belt and went to start the car it locked up ( now i know i have bigger issues ) and they went over it and reset everything numerous times with no good results ( including winding the motor with out the belt to see if they had any compression ) seems that i can move both cams with little or no force aswell

clearly you guys don't know what you're doing so I suggest you see a mechanic.

First you said that it turns with no compression now you're saying that it locks up and in between you said that the motor spins freely without the belt which is an absolute NO NO to anyone that knows what they are doing....goodluck with it mate but it does look like you've got some troubles now that could've possibly been avoided if taken to a mechanic immediately

EDIT: Also, I don't see how you can turn the cams easily if the lobes are hard pressed against spring retainers.....unless of course certain valves are stuck open or broken now (which I'm guessing is quite likely).

sounds like you bent the valves which now won't close to create compression, by attempting to fix something with no clue

RB's are interference engines, throw a belt, bend a valve or break them off in most cases

open the oil filler cap, have someone spin the engine by hand, see if you can see the rockers/cams etc moving at all, before wasting time pulling the head

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
