So it stopped running while you owned it or it has never run while you owned it? Was there any significant event that caused it to stop running?

First things first: check for fuel pressure, check for injector pulse and check that you have spark. On an RB you can simply unbolt the CAS and turn it by hand. You can then hear the injectors click and watch plugs spark without the motor cranking.

Next check for compression. I have a feeling it may have bent some valves when it slipped the belt, but i am only speculating.

Verdict: if it has fuel pressure, injectors pulse, has spark and has compression then it SHOULD run. Cam timing could stop it if it were majorly out, as could major intake leaks.

Outside of the above you should be able to find the issue with those tests.

suggest you fit a timing belt kit and try to start the car? IF the motor is f**ked you would need those parts anyway as part of a rebuild , once you have got it all back together then turn it over by hand first

yeah it stoped running while i was driving and ive found its a tooth out on the exhaust side.

Yep that's my plan for next weekend get it timed and see if she'll run.

rb engines, like any other 4 stroke engines.

if it has skipped a tooth or possibly more, could definitely stop it running.

yeah thanks mate i wasn't sure if the rb's were really sensitive to being a tooth out or not but yeah still could be more teeth out on the crank.

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

yeah next weekend when i pull it all apart ill see if i can see the cause of the problem and put a new timming beld kit on

welcome to the world of low mount turbos lol

If u got access to a hoist will help from the bottom. Take this opportunity to change the turbos or dumpipes if u need to while its being taken apart

Is that what the problem was, a blown propellor?

yeah the rear propeller on the rear turbo :(

everyone told my what a flamin mongrel of a job it is but agh it couldn't be that bad but it is !! hahah

what im trying to do is take the head off in the car but i think the intake side is going to be even harder.

So is it turbo or timing (cam gear) related? Or both?

Whys the head coming off?

its turbo and compression related thats why im taking the head off to see what kind of damage there is and to see what course of action im going to take rebuild or just get it going till i have enough money to do a full rebuild

I managed to pull the rear turbo off. Short 13mm combo spanner helps with the dump pipe; tedious as hell.

How the hell did you get the front turbo off? It looks impossible lol

haven't got it off yet almost though and i know what you mean i was sitting there yesterday thinking what the actual f**k lol

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
