Hi I just replaced the head and installed a set of Tomei cams and my car will not start, I had to use a neo crank angle sensor due to the key way on the cam but i managed to rig up the old sensor with the new key way with the same results. All my Timing marks line up 100 percent on the crank and 2 cams and i have replaced plugs checked for fuel and even tried a timing light while cranking. I have a emanage computer which tells me that the car while trying to start is sitting on 172rpm and timing is at 18 degress. I have pulled the plugs out and have seen the plugs firing and also seen fuel going into the bore. I did have a fuse blow while the wiring was changed for the crank angle sensor but that has since been replaced i have also gone through my car with the muilti meter and have not found any other blown fuses. I am using standard cam gears not aftermarket so they can only be installed one way. Anyones help would be greatly appreciated The car will not even try to start it only turns over and over .....whilst getting fuel and spark....

I am currently waiting on the nissan consult software and cable to verify timing but the location of the sensor was exactly in the same position. also adjusting didnt seem to do much either i am currently waiting on another cas

Cranking revs seem a bit low (300 would be better), and RBs seem to like LOTS of timing (around 45 deg) to start.

Also, you have probably now flooded the engine. You need to crank with WOT until it fires.

My car always fired up when it was hitting 44 degrees timing, now it never starts first time when cold and only hits 25 degrees. Do you just use map tracer and see what cells are used during cranking and up them?

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
