get a timing light and check it

only way to be sure

+1 to this.

but that said, if the car has an aftermarket ecu and has been tuned like this then just leave it the way it is because the tune would've taken into account the extra base timing.

See I bought the car dead stock in October last year. The car had only been over here for a few months when I bought it. The car belonged to an Australian working as a teacher who was planning to move back here so he sent the car to Australia then never returned so his dad (who is living here) had to sell it. I've got all the service receipts and I think I have a receipt here from Nismo Japan for a timing belt change at 114,000km and when I bought the car it had 114,800km.

I took a guess at maybe the timing is advanced to high because it might of been tuned for Japanese higher RON petrol? But I am in no way mechanically minded so I've really got no idea.

he is planning on..

just wants to know if there is anything in the mean time he can do so that he doesnt kill his engine!

and as your are prob aware workshops arent open on sat, sun or public holiday monday!

dude.. an internet forum is not a substitute mechanical workshop.

take it to a mechanic, who knows they're way around a GTR.

J.

of course its ok to ask mate but he's so right.....take it to a workshop and get it checked too easy

when looking at the CAS front on, if you turn it clockwise, that is advance, the position its on looks to be fully retarded (lol)

Very true. Going to take it to a workshop Wednesday and see what they think

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
