As it says WTF I started my car up thismorning and heard sum noises from the engine so I turned it off and popt the bonnet. I started it again to diagnose problem and thought my clutch fan was stuft coz it wasn't moving and then I noticed the crank wasn't turning. WTF it doesn't make any sence to me. How can my engine run fine? With this problem?

Anyone?

Isn't it imposible for the crank pully to slip?

Ahhhhh help?

the harmonic balancer (where all the ancinary belts line up to, sits on a key... so if the crank moves it MUST move... unless its fallen off? of been undone... the pistons run off the crank so it has to be moving...

so the fan, alternator and power steering pump are all not spinning yes?

Last weeks' "Quokka" (West Aust trading post type paper) had an RB26 for sale in the Skyline bits section, $7k & 700hp according to the details in the adv. Dunno if that is still for sale & I do not have the paper at hand but someone else on the forum may, if you are interested Brendan?

Good luck with your fix anyway

Before you start pulling the engine out get some professional advice from a machine shop. Myself I would look at welding the harmonic balancer to the crank before i started pulling out a perfectly good motor but there might be a better way!

i was thinkn of tryn to weld it on but i dont think it would be possible to do with the bolt in the way. and without the bolt in it might not be on straight. duno ill have to ring around tomoz. might just pul the turbo off untill i find out more

Its an easy fix mate. Buy a replacement key from Nissan. Remove radiator, remove pulley and bits of broken key. I suspect the key is actually missing and engine eventually worked crank bolt loose. I can assist if needs. No need to remove engine or buy new one. It'll be a $5 part. Ruby

Woodruff key is only for locating harmonic balancer, bolt holds balancer on!

Very common after timing belt replacement, Especially RWD vehicles :domokun: (FWD usually has easy access for rattle gun).

No one removes starter motor to lock crank for correct tension on bolt!

Remove balancer, line up tdc on crank, fit new key(glue if req), line up tdc on balancer, tension bolt to specs!

Have done a few, inc above or full removal of crank, spray weld snout and re cut slot, but no warranty applies either way!

My advise: try it, if it slips again buy a new crank!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
