Did you hold the intake cam on the hex with a spanner while removing/installing the cam gear?

If not it might be jammed advanced and could probably cause something like this

yes i did that remove it with a spanner in place to remove the vct gear

Last thing I can think of, my fuel map need adjusting after tightening the valve clearences but it still ran and idled

you know whats funny now.... i checked the cam specs card to see whats the clearance of tomei 262 should be and it fell within the range the clearance of it and i personally wanted it to be in nissan specs so thinking i have it at a tight valve when tomei requested it to be so without me even realizing it....now it have me wondering it can be really something else geeezzz :/ 

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok buddies... i have finally got the time to check the timing and did a compression test and so far on the timing its on spot so far , the compression test showed the same value for the cylinders 2-6 of 125 but cylinder 1 was a bit lower but thats due to valve 1 of the intake being 0.011 when the others are 0.012.... so my last check is to do a proper smoke test.. what yall think?

Cam timing or ignition timing checked?

cam timing is on spot but havent checked the ignition timing...also what i forget to mention is that the compression tester took a while to build up the reading so it have me wondering that its looking like a valve seating issue... could be wrong ?

lolllll i came to harass my sau buddies once again..... finally took of the head saw nothing to really say A BIG issue.... Took some gas and put it on all 6 chambers of valves and all seems to be well sealed except for one but very slow .... so now am left to believe due to the shim clearance settings i got for intake and exhaust can be causing the problem... 

Intake - 0.012(Nissan) Tomei Requires - 0.018

Exhaust - 0.019(Nissan) Tomei Requires - 0.015

what i currently have is the intake side of nissan and the exhaust side of tomei so am wondering to have the intake of tomei to see if it makes a differences .....

There is no way that slightly tight clearances can cause NO vacuum. Slightly less vacuum perhaps. But not none.

You definitely have something very weird going on, and in my experience of these threads, it always turns out to be something that no-one could have guessed.

ok let me say again..... its very hard for the engine to idle at 1000rpm so high rpms it idles but with no vac... if it trys to go 1000rpm its gonna cut off sure.... did a compression test and it took long for the results to build up wasnt like the first pulse it jump to a 60-90psi reading and then settle to another high number...

Just now, GTSBoy said:

Let me state again.....how the hell can slightly tight clearances cause the effect you're seeing? It's just wrong to think that they can. The problem is elsewhere.

am moving away from the "tight clearance" cause i saw it still wouldnt cause that issue, what i  really wanna know what IF the clearance settings i posted a little while would cause a change in overlap .... am not no genius in this cause currently search results is limited to my question so i hadda fetch from all over and then put it together to see if it makes sense .... Timing correct,did a smoke machine test no BIG leak, compression test done(but slow build up)

Will change overlap, but only by a tiny amount.

I'm thinking that something really big is wrong and you should take it apart. This is generally how these threads go.

Well i did and so far i havent seen anything wrong,valves are sealing properly..... so just for a piece of mind i did the intake clearances to tomei spec and so is the exhaust.... now its just to time the engine and am not even gonna start just run a compression test again and see whats popping...am starting to wonder maybe the engine was just a tooth off and could of been part of the issue even doh i checked a million times   if that doesnt work welllllllllllllll idk lol

And yes i held it in position in removing and installing.This might be my last bet.. If its stuck open it will create much more overlap = low vac. Correct me if am wrong.

How can i tell if my vct is stuck.....

Still won't cause what you are experiencing.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
