Rb25 No Compression

I just recently did a rb25 swap into my r32, I cannot get the car to start, turns out there's no compression in any of the cylinders, I purchased the motor from a reliable seller who says they tested the compression and replaced the timing belt and all was good.

I didn't mess around with the timing or remove the cams so I don't believe there is any possible way I could have bent the valves, let alone all of them. the only thing I did mess around with while trying to get it started is the cas, is it possible that's the cause of no compression? and if not does anyone have an idea what else could be causing the problem? I have yet to pull the head off to check the valves.... Also its a series 2 rb25 and it has hydraulic valves

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I tried it throttle open and closed, i have yet to pull the head off but I pulled the valve covers off and the exhaust valves are all stuck open slightly and all the intake valves are closed and in perfect condition, all the valves move, cams spin and its all timed correctly. Is it a common thing for an engine thats been sitting for 6 months or w.e it is to have valves stick for any possible reason, I want to leave pulling the head as my last resort assuming the exhaust valves are bent...

Thanks alot for your help :P

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What's wrong with the OEM filter. They do the job perfectly. As to your actual problems. Stop driving the. Take it to a mechanic. If you actually do have a fuel delivery limitation and you are putting it under load, you could be killing it.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know the answer, but my uneducated guess is this will not work (or, not as you want it to). I would wire the SLD into VSS1, I bet that is what the limiter uses However, I also bet the ECU compares VSS1 and VSS2 and throws and error if they are different. Best suggestion I can make is wire it into VSS1 and see how you go, I guess the error will only appear above 180 when then SLD is active. If it appears at lower speeds put a switch into the SLD earth (or power supply) and only turn it on when you need to go over 180.

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By Diomedes_ · Posted

      Hi all, So, looking to do some general maintenance on the car, as it has developed a some slight (related?) problems; Three problems that I think are related. 1999 R34 GTR RB26 - engine will sometimes cut out while left on idle, but will keep going if I keep throttle input. Usually after having driven a while. Its random, somedays wont happen at all, others will happen once or twice in a half hour drive. - Second issue is that while driving, the car will sometimes not be able to get past 3k rpm, no matter how much throttle input I apply. - Lastly, car will sometimes be real laggy climbing through rpm, but if I apply lots of throttle problem will seem to clear and go back to normal. All issues come and go, again somedays no sign of any problem, other days will just be stuttering around for ages.   I think it might be either the fuel system, or maybe the AFM?   Either way, I am going to clean the AFMs, and replace the fuel filter, use some injector cleaner in the next few fill ups, and might look at doing the fuel pump aswell.   Question I have, is filter such as; https://www.efisolutions.com.au/pro-fuel-filter-30-micron-an8-orb-black Fine to replace the normal filter? Their product page says as a prefilter only and not as the main EFI filter, so I'm guessing I would still need the stock one? Can I get an aftermarket one that has AN8 fittings to replace the OEM one? Or is the OEM one just something you have to live with?

      I say this and there’s a Nistune r34 GTT MT ECU for sale on eBay.de but I need to figure out compatibility between the AT harness and MT ECU - TCS considered. I figure this HKS SLD is a quick bandaid anyhow.
