Did u turn it over by hand before starting?

How long did it run before it stopped? Did u have the cas bolted onto the timing cover or did u start it with it bolted straight to the holder without the timing cover

turned it over 6 times by hand before starting.

it ran for about 5 seconds. and stalled.. no untoward sounds/smells.

It was on a hill with under empty fuel. so put 10Litres in, still no deal.

now checked plugs for fouling, coil packs, cas, all fine.

leads me to think im still not getting fuel.

Cas is bolted to the cover (clear cover)

You didnt disturb your injector wiring when removing the covers to put the cams?

Check for spark, put a screw driver against a injector while someone cranks it and put your ear against the screw driver to listen if they are ticking and operating (like a stethoscope)

did you check the cam timing after tuning it over by hand? usually it'll still start if its 1 tooth out but worth checking. has your cam still got the aligning tooth for the cas? if not make sure the cas is lined up in the correct teeth aswell as the where it was before on the cover.

as for fuel, check pressure and flow if the injectors are definately firing

There's compression.

And as for bending a valve, you'd hear that. There were no untoward noises and it didn't stop abruptly. Just sounded like it sputtered out of fuel.

Taking it to a mate tomorrow who has a 32GTR. Hopefully he'll pick on on something stupid I've missed. Also has diagnostic tools etc to check with

Engine still has compression.

Only thing I could think of is because the car was on a hill for 6 hours with minimal fuel that when cranked it sucked gunk into the lines and blocked it as the problem purely seems to be lack of fuel.

I don't know though.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
