Hey guys i seem to have run into a little bit of a problem whilst removing and installing my intake cam gear on my RB25DET. I read in the workshop manual that there is a "Shamfered Washer" between the bolt that secures the cam gear and cam gear. When i removed the cam gear there wasnt a washer in sight.

Can anybody tell me how this washer looks and what size it is? also am i able to put in any washer that is of the same/equiv size to the factory one.

Cheers.

Yeah it should go something like this:

Cam gear, washer, bolt, spring, VCT cover

I would buy one from Nissan because it isn't a standard size washer. I would say it needs a set load on the spring for the VCT to work properly so if you use a washer that is to small the VCT will not work properly

Makes sense. Because a pulled it apart to install the hks cams and upon reassembly I noticed there was something missing and not in my parts tray. Looks like the previous workshop made a right ass of themselves.

Also... what sort of torque setting does the bolt require?

oh yeah, don't be a tool like me and rattle gun it on.. I got my VCT cam gear stuck for a while and the VCT switching wasn't working.. after a few days it started working again..

yes yes, laugh at me.

Yeah nah a torque wrench is by my side at all times when it comes to shit like this. Rattle gun for everything else.

Not very surprised with the workshop who left the washer out. I seem to be finding shortcuts the deeper I go.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
