Can anyone shed some light on what the next steps should be?

I was thinking

-hook up jumper leads and do another test.

-pull off the timing cover and check the belt

Then if stinky comes around this week.

-Try a new VCT unit just in case if he has one.

Anything else?

yes that is what I would do.

Redo the compression test while hooked to a running engine by jumper leads

When stinkypoo drops by, swap the ignitor, CAS, AFM and ECU (one by one) and see if it makes a difference.

If still crappy results and no luck, take the timing cover off.

Timing cover is like...3 bolts isn't it? The upper half of it at least. It'd take no time to pull off and look at the belt, should be blindingly obvious if that's the problem lol.

I'd check the things that take the least time to do first.

true. I'm not sure how much work it is on a stock 25...on a 26 it needs CAS off, water line disconnected (possible re-bleed) and then about 3 bolts. not a big deal. You should either carefully mark the CAS position before removing it, or redo the base timing after.

Yeah so I can't swap out an ECU which is a bit of a pain because its a nistune R32 ECU.

Using the Window switch (Not the jaycar one) its the proper window switch.

Checked that last night and it seems fine.

Rob pulled out the ecu and re connected just to be sure.

Yeah I will re run the test tonight hopefully ( is it okay to use a jump start pack thing?)

If it's easy to pull the cover off then I will check that as well.

Hopefully stinky has time to stand in the dark and cold with me and try a CAS or maybe even see something I am not noticing.

Daniel - pm your addy and I'll drop around a fully charged Battery, a Jump Pack and Jumper leads after work.

Edit: Oh and a battery charger :)

If tonight was like last night maybe drop off a few jumpers as well :P

LONG LIVE THE RB!

So I had a few of the locals come around tonight. Shout out to "Stinky Poo, Sinister & Wilderboy"

They brought along a jump starter and we decided to do another comp test with a starter pack giving it power.

Cyl 1 = 95

Cyl 2 = 90

Cyl 3 = 80

Cyl 4 = 105

Cyl 5 = 95

Cyl 6 = 100

Sat around and pondered the idea about costs doing an engine swap or just giving up on the dream

But Stinky Poo (Don't want to f**k up the spelling to your real name) Decided he wanted to put it back together and give it one more chance.

We put everything back in and back together and the farken bitch started first go!

Didn't even miss a beat!

Right now I'm left scratching my head as to why the compression is still so low (could it be possibly the tester itself?)

and left wondering why the car just decided to start again for no reason.

Leaves me worried I'm going to get stranded somewhere I don't want to be.

My next step is maybe take it to a workshop for them to triple check everything.

Thanks to everyone for all the help over the past few days!!
I really really really can't thank you all enough!

Glad this didn't make it to page 10

Long live the RB!

And yes a warm/hot test will be a good comparison because it can be lower when cold right?

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
