Ouch man looks nasty. Id pull number 5 out and look at getting another piston. That is depending on bore condition of course. Looking at that engine for 500kms it seems to have a lot of carbon build up? Dunno could be the pictures though.

So just to clarify, the cam gear retarded itself some how, but if the belt was to jump a tooth or ten it would advance the cam would it not? Just trying to get my head around it

Yes my thinking too re carbon buildup

fark ... mate if i have any parts u need u can have em free of charge. any way i can help out i will. i have a1 cond rb26 pistons, rods, bearings head and main bolts. heaps of other sht aswell just ask :(

Thanks heaps mate for the offer, I'm just trying think about what I wanna do with this, just got myself a nice daily, so atleast I can get too work now,

The head itself looks pretty mangled in the combustion chamber, so will need to get some local opinion before I consider moving forward again

Depends which way it skips mate. But more then likely it would skip a tooth following the direction of rotation (clockwise from the front) which would mean retardation of which ever cam skipped. On your engine obviously this is intake. Yeah i would be concerened if that carbon is more then a couple though. See if it rubs of with your finger.

if your after some free advice without any obligations drop into harriss engines in ossie park, old guy there is very helpful and loves a chat.

Well I got the sump and ati, just need a stocker motor,

Gerg: got the valves off a forum member on here, brand new but only got valves they was cheaper then Nissan replacements, doesn't look like any det,

Dori: just weighing up what to do, def no plans for this until the new year tho,

butters/zeroyon who is on here and antilag runs that exact set up on his drag S13 (which runs 9's) and around 550rwhp for a few years which is more than needed for a RWD

Considering the cost it's not a bad option :)

Good to hear. I was going to say relying/using this car as a daily seems a bit much. Get a nice cheap daily and take all the pressure off having it driveable all the time.

I feel ya pain though, hopefully its an easy road back to running again.

Its been said, and I will say it again.

Stock motor and whack on your uprated peripherals.

Go hard. Get some joy out of it. Dont worry if you pop the stocky.

Agreed !

Well no real updates but after a call from Paul from red R racing, for all u haters he not that hard to get a hold of, just wait for him to call you, haha, but told me to check the cam caps to make sure that they were installed in the right way, because if they put on the wrong way they will wear on the cam and cause it to bind up, and make the belt jump, unfortunately that was too no avail, but a big thanks to Paul for making the effort to contact me and trying to shed some extra light on the matter.

Which still means unfortunately that apart from some massive timing issue I don't really now what caused the timing issue or the belt to jump,

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
