the thing is I cant seem to get it unto the third white marker

Ive reset the ECU and placed the CAS on the centre

I check with timing light and the markers line up to the first orange line

I set it fully anti clockwise and it only moved to the first white marker

after a bit of driving I checked the timing again and it was back to the first orange marker...

so... I have no clue why its doing this

Where are you picking up the trigger signal for the timing light?

Timing on a Skyline can be a pain, this is what I do to make sure the signal is pure......

I take the #1 coil right off and lay it on the cam cover. I them stick a piece of insulated wire inside the coil (like it was a spark plug) so it makes contact. I connect the other end of the wire to the spark plug. I loop the sensor from the timing light around the piece of wire. That way you get a nice clean signal from only 1 cylinder, with no delay (light flashes exactly when the plug fires).

Hope that helps :)

i take the trigger from the wire leading to the no 1 coil, just before the coil plug

There were no problems with this a few weeks ago

since then I manage to pop an intercooler hoose and since fixing that, have not been able to adjust the timing correctly

Wo, there's a couple of unrelated occurances. Are there any error codes on the ECU?:P

error codes... uhm... dont you need a diagnostics tool to find that out?

Im just working with basics at the moment  

Not sure if I want to bother taking it to a mechanic because Im installing a wolf in a week or so

Well if it has something wrong now, it will still have something wrong when the the Wolf goes in.:P

true that hahaha

I meant I probably wont bother letting a mechanic take a look at it untill I take the car to get the wolf done. hopefully then they can figure out the problem and then put the wolf in.

Would any workshop or mechanic have diagnostic tool? because I went to nissan awhile back and they said it wont be compatible with import cars

But I was pretty sure this workshop that service my car has it and used it on my car before

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
