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

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
