As far as im able to tell.....Those timing cam gears are completely misaligned if you have that at tdc cyl. The dots on the teeth of the gears should align to the whitelines on the back cover as they indicate where the markers are approximately.

Yes. The dots should align with cam gears when the crank position at TDC.

I was making the point the cams are in alignment with themselves maybe 1-2 teeth out..

But still most importantly the crank is out of alignment in relation to the cams.

I will stick a camera probe into the sparkplug holes and inspect today..

Hope to have head off by weekend.. slow goings...

Did you try turning over the motor with a socket before you pulled the belt. Just in case.

If you were on decel the belt most likely slipped the inlet cam making it retarded.
If the belt slipped but after 2 years hmmm.

At first sounded a bit like a corrupted battery. But usually they won't even click till jumpstart then click.

Was there anything unusual with the car just before it happened?

Don't turn any of the cams or crank until you have an idea on it.

Need to get it to tdc gently as possible both crank and cams... slowly turn bit by bit one then the next and so on to keep them from banging the valves.

Good luck.

Ok sorry I've read too many posts lately.
I see you did.

Usually to crack the bolt on the crank you use a big bar and lay it hard against the chassis near the air filter so it's locked in place when on the crank then a real quick clik the starter to crack the bolt.
That won't work in this predicament.

Slowly turn each one bit by bit starting at the inlet then zorst then crank. Gentle slow lil by lil. Cyl by cyl

I got the bolt off combo of impact ratchet and a long pipe on a ratchet.

I use a 10mm bolt in the crank pulley and wedged with a breaker bar.

The bolt was on there good and tight! Took a fair bit of force bit of CRC and patience she finally gave way.

I will eventually get the crank pulley off and attempt to get engine and cams into position for rebelting and see if it will turn over..

Use a probe camera to try and inspect the piston tops for gouging.

I'll report here hopefully later this week..

Mental note: Don't use a ratchet.  The ratchet can only handle so much torque before you'll shred the teeth off of it.  This is why breaker bars exist.

Good luck with it.
A puller is about 50-60 bucks.
Use those two tens on long bolts to plate, plate with center thread hole , tighten a bolt in it upto the crank bolt location using a cap on the bolt end to suite [taper or flat] so not to wreck the crank bolt hole or damage the crank.
Don't use a gook type puller as it can damage the pulleys.

Thanks for comments slap.

Hey the bolt can be threaded into the crank a few turns?

It's got the guide in the centre of the bolt?

It's funny how you see people using those triangle g hook type on YouTube..

Hey all.

Dunno if I mentioned that I put a camera down the pistons haha all stuffed inside valves stuck pistons. One piston has a hole in it..

 

Anyways I spend an hour trying to seperate the engine and gearbox..

Got the engine crane attached. Brought a beautiful chain for lifting too ;)

With some gentle and some not so gentle shaking of the two..

Seems it came apart maybe 8-10mm only. Seem to be having trouble getting them fully apart

It's a manual gearbox for the rb25det neo.

I've removed all bolts.. seems something inside (clutch area) is holding it from coming out.

Is there something I've forgotten or do I keep trying to seperate the two.

 

Edited by ifixedit

Gearbox input shaft is probably fairly firmly in the clutch.  If there are no bolts still holding the gearbox to the engine, no earth straps, starter motor, etc, then it can only be the input shaft.  You may need/want to release the gearbox crossmember and support the box on a trolley jack so you can change the angle of it to help it disengage.

Yes it is absolutely a pull type clutch and needs releasing before the gearbox will come off, i hope you weren't too rough with it as they aren't very strong and wouldn't be surprised if the clutch is now toast too.

You should consider changing your forum name ?

It's all good.

I jigged a little but nothing too crazy.. upon releasing the pin they finally split.

Clutch and flywheel are fine. Took then off and gave a clean :)

the gearbox would have had a little bit of jiggling but I am sure it's fine :)

 

thanks for not believing in me! Haha

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
