hi guys my first post.

okay I've had my GTR for about 1 year now its got 85,000 km on the clock it get service every 5,000 km. I was driving tonight as normal and i noticed it wasn't making any boost, after about 30 seconds it started making boost again so i kept diving cause i had to to get home then next minute the engine dies, i herd a noise before it died but with the loudness of the exhaust i couldn't tell you what it sounded like. I pulled over and tried starting it again but nothing just winds over and I can see one of the cams rotating, i can also hear it got some compression while winding over. So it's on the side off the road around the corner from my place there's no oil or anything on the ground where it happened or where it sit's.

Would love to know what you guys thought cause she's my baby ! .

rb engines, like any other 4 stroke engines. if it has skipped a tooth or possibly more, could definitely stop it running.

Something is broken. The usual course of action is to get it towed to a mechanic so he can diagnose it, in the presence of, you know....the car itself.

maybe check the sprockets on the inlet and exhaust cams and find out what may have causedthe belt to jump otherwise it may do it again

Do share your findings?

Cam failure?

'Box failure?

Electrical?

well i rang the mechanic and asked him whats wrong with it and he said its got no compression and the timing belt is good so asked him again whats wrong with it and how much has that cost and hes said i dont know and my bill is up to

$220 i said dont worry about it a take it home figure it out myself ffs. so im thinking one of the cams has moved on the cam gear im gonna look at it saturday and ill let you know. all up ive spent $340 and still dont know whats wrong with it :(

yeah its weird it just stoped all of a sudden so.. and also im a mechanice i just didnt have time at that stage to look at it lol. i live in townsville .

sorry, but surely if youre a mechanic, wouldnt you have gotten it towed straight home?

why did you take it to another mechanic?

oh, cams cant 'slip/spin' as they are located by the retaining bolts.

if all the bolts snap, I suspect the gear would drop off.

possible you have a split boost pipe?

as already mentioned, skipped teeth(timing belt jump) on one of the cams.

had this happen to me.

timing belt idler collapsed on start up.

low on comp.

new belt and pullies.

and it was fine.

you were driving, so hopefully no internal damage.

okay guy, like i have said i didn't have time to look at it at that stage and thought if i took it to a guy that works on them all the time he would be able to tell me what's wrong with it but he couldn't .

so I've had a look this morning and the exhaust cam is out one tooth retarded and don't know if the belt has moved on the crank gear.

so I'm asking you guys if that would stop a RB26 from running, because I'm not a GTR expert and don't try to be, still learning about them every day.

I'm going to set the timing up right and see if it runs but that's next weekend job.

thanks guys.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
