Im having massive issues with a new motor, at the moment the engine is incredibly hard to start, back fires through the intake and is building boost from free reving below 3000rpm. RB30det with a GT35/40 1.06 rear housing.

When the engine was being put back together i poored some oil on top of the cylinders to lubricate the cylinders before bolting the head on. i did the cam timing while the engine was still in the car and while i checked it multiple times i ended up with the crank two teeth out with the cams spot on.

The engine was difficault to turn over, and i foolishly used the starter motor to get it to crank over in the end, i didnt make any funny noises, concerned i wouldnt know if any real damage was done till it was ready to start.

Other issues include the engines tune, i am not a tuner and ive attempted to resize the RB25 base map on the z32 nistune ecu to suit the z32 afm and 875cc injectors. If anyone has a base map i could try that would be fantastic.

Please help, thank you

Why would you run the engine if you couldn't get the timing setup properly in the first place?

Would it not make more sense to just leave the car with someone who knows what they are doing in the first place?

Its booked in for a tune, however in the meantime while its being painted it would be nice if the boys were able to run it between sheds. Should i not be concerned as to why its running like a dog? I like to nut these issues out, and im simply throwing money away, and potentially the tuner if i take it in running like this.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
