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'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
