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?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
