Ok so here we go. I brought a r33 series 2 gtst with low compression. It was running before i pulled the head off. I found that the head was f**ked and the exhaust vavles were leaking badly. the cam caps were around the wrong way witch destroyed the journals. So i have a second hand head that has been fully overhauled. Cost me a arm and a leg. Ive put everything back together and tried to start it. It cranks but no fire. I have found that the half moon pin on the exhaust cam is snapped off and ive set the engine to TDC and alined the cas to where the moon use to be and still no start. I get a fire every now and then but wont start. I can hear the injecters ticking and ive got spark. Im 99% sure the timming is right. Both cam and crank timmig marks all seem to line up. Ive allso checked ive got the fuel line going into the rail and fuel return out the regulator. Ive tried 3 different cas's. It has a adjustable HKS exhaust cam gear. It hasnt been adjusted and was all running okay before i pulled it apart. Really appreciate any help guys thanks20180605_172606.jpg

I thought id just leave this herr20180606_072120.jpg

So as from my research the half moon is just a locater so it makes it easy to line up the timing. When its broken you have to manually line up the teeth on the cas by having it TDC and theres a mark on my cas that when lined up it lines up to where the broken tooth use to be. Its hard to explain. But ive got that sorted im pretty sure. Ill upload some photos. Ive just pulled my coils and plugs back out and ive got a really strong spark on all 6. Im trying to look down the cylinders and turn the cas to see if i can see fuel going into the cylinders but i cant see fuel but i can head the injecters. Does anyone know if i should be able to see fuel getting sprayed into the cylinders.

Update. So when i use my noid lights to check pulse on the injecters it lights up when the fuel pump is primeing and soon as i cant here the fuel pump theres no more flashing from the noid light. Ive check theres a solid 12.4V at the injecters

Ok so it looks like im not getting injection pulse. The noid light lights up once and then doesnt come back on. I can hear and see the coil packs sparking away but just no injection. Ive got power supply and ive tries 3 different cases. Also swapped ecus still nothing. Looks like i might have a wiring issue im assuming

Pull out the coils and spark plugs, place the plugs into each coil and rest them on the cam cover creating an earthing point.

Remove the CAS from the motor however have it connected to the loom, power the car and manually rotate it and see if all cylinders are firing and if the fuel pump relay clicks over.

A bit ghetto but does the trick when you're on a stock ECU as there isn't an easy way of viewing the data you need.

Ok guys. Update
Ive done what your guys have recommened and still no luck so i thought id start f**king around with the harness and i was testing continuity between ecu and cas. I found my injecter line was broken somewhere. So i ran a wire from my ecu to the cas and now i have injection pulse. But now we have another problem. It fires a little bit when i fully retard the timing via the cas. So i thought id remove the bolts from the cas and retarded another 30-45 degrees and after 20 seconds of cranking it finally starting but didnt sound good at all. I touch the throttle and it died straight away. Im certian that my timing has to be out because why else would i have to retard my timming that much to get it to run. And not even run good. Im going to pull my timming belt back off and check the timming again. Will keep you guys posted.

Okay guys so i found my problem and need yout help. When i was timming up my timming belt i didnt relise that the hks exhaust cam gear i using has to timming dots and im certain that i time it ul to the wrong timming dot. Has anyone every fitted a hks cam gear and what mark do i use to time it up. P.S im praying to the car gods that i havnt bent any valves on my freshly reconed head!!!

Hi guys thought id just leave this here as shes all running nicely now. The issue was that i had the wrong timming mark lined up witch i am amazed at how i didnt bend any valves. The car gods were watching over me. So all running good now. Now time to go blow some tyres. Cheers for the help guys

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
