so after i fixed all the boost leaks,i found that the adjustable cam gear bolts came loose. started dialing them back in to spec with test runs that i did 4th gear full boost to where it was and even better so under 3.5k to full boost with more adjustment in them.

while testing i heard a loud backfire and engine stalls, tried to start it after awhile and i only get a loud backfire under cracking.

fuel pump works and plugs just changed now, compression tested and is fine

if valves were gone pretty sure that would have shown up on compression

i'm just curious know what it could be with out taking it apart :P

I'm guessing the key in the exhaust cam came off and you put the cas back on in the wrong spot.

Yeah something along those lines is my next bet but seen as the car ran ok until it popped I thought maybe cooler pipe. Sounds like something could have happened to the CAS otherwise but

yea i was thinking it could also be something like that, will give it a once over tomorrow

other wise will swap out the engine when i can be bothered :glare:

Seeing as it was running and then stopped makes me think the exhaust cam pulley may have either jumped a tooth or wasn't done up right and retarded itself.

Would a cooler pipe blown off cause it to backfire on startup? When I blow one off (lol) it will still fire then just die.

:S

i work on the principle of expect the worse yet hope for the best and i think i was pushing my luck with air leaks fixed on a responsive untuned motor.... think i'll leave it at that and let trent dail the rest of the adjustment in as shown in the pic attached

Matt wins a prize on this one!

all i have to offer is much cyber #homolove

had a spare so it runs fine now and the beauty of it is these engines are about that price range :P

the reason it broke is because i took off the cam gear cover and did the bolt up as per usual, where as when i dialed in cam gears for the first time i had the cover on making the process back and fourth much longer.

the gear cover has a 4mm spacing to the cas mount doing it up tight with no cover or spacer is its downfall, so i made a spacer out of 3mm flat bar

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
