Hi all was driving home work tonight cruising along and my S1 25g with stock N/A RB25de started to run very sluggish s0o pull over switch her off but she will not start, got power, faul pump and starter goes got comprestion,inject pulse and spark but wont start.

Thinking maybe has jumped a tooth in the timing???

Can anyone please help

right....well then you already know it is likely to be bad then.

the only rb know for sure is non interferance is rb20. if rb25det is interferance and rb25de has higher compression....it is very unlikely to be OK.

Come on Duncan don't be a spoil sport, I am pretty sure JP showed you the timing belt that came off my R33 when the idler bearing seized and stripped the timing belt.

New belt fitted, it started and purred like a kitten. :banana:

I have no chance of winning Powerball now. :no:

yeah 25det and 26dett definately are interferance. Not really surprised rb30e is non, I wonder what a hybrid rb30det is, pretty likely it will be interferance?

Andrew....damn straight you have used up all your luck! I broke a cam a few years back, that was carnage for valves and pistons :(

The mechanics expected they were going to take the head off but figured it was worth trying to fit a belt and idler bearings and then turn it over by hand to see what would happen. It turned ok, so they cranked it and it started like normal.

There is no joy in getting the bill for a new timing belt (etc) but in this case it beats the hell out of a new engine.

I have seen teeth stripped off the belt before and every time the belt had been subjected to engine oil leaking on it. Look for oil leaks and check bearings I would like to know what caused the belt to break.

Should know today

$360 from nissan, is it possible to get second hand?

Our local bloke got a full reco set, both pulleys and belt for $225. :banana:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
