RB20 man...it's in my sig. Scott

What he said! Scott

2.6 60ft ??? That's pretty slow even for a GTS-T. Scott

Dude, i'm not interested in buying the car, but i wanted to comment on how sweet it looks. Awesome and cheap. Maybe you should sell it for more as people might think it's stuffed for the price you're asking Anyway a free bump. Good luck with the sale. Scott

Hey i haven't been in a GTR either. I've been in a 430rwhp 32 GTS-T though and lets just say it's a handfull. Scott

Well it says R32 GTS-T RB20DET...oh well it doesn't matter. BTW the car is running great now. I might get it on the dyno just to be sure everything is ok though. Regards, Scott

2530 here. Making around the 200rwkw mark @ 1 bar. Mods in my sig. My brother put a T04 on his 32 and is running a powerfc. Over 300rwhp. But when i drove it i noticed that 1st doesn't really boost at all and 2nd isn't much better. 3rd gear hang on lol. Scott

It says under the bonnet 15deg BTDC @850rpm. I thought it was 650 as well...hrmm Yeah when i put the CAS back on i set it to roughly the middle and when i started the car and let it warm up it came down to 20deg, so i had to adjust the CAS a little. I'll see how she drives today. Cheers, Scott

Yep all good now wrxhoon. Timing is now at 17deg, which is a little more retarded than with the old belt on (I marked the CAS before i took it apart). Thanks for all the help i really appreciate it. I learnt alot about my car in the process. I will take it for a drive tomorrow and see how she goes. Regards, Scott

And how do i know when i've got number 1 cylinder at TDC? Scott

wrxhoon, I have all the covers back on. Should i take the top one off again and turn the engine over to check? All i have to do now is put all the belts back on and put the radiator back in. Then i will check the timing with the light. Thanks for the help. Scott

Thanks wrxhoon. I did all of that last night. If only i knew the correct procedure the first time around. I aligned the crack pulley's yellow mark with the mark on the lower timing belt cover, and then aligned the dimples on the cam gears with the marks on the backing plate. Then put the belt on using the marks on it as a guide to line up to. I didn't set it up on TDC last time. I just left everything in the same position from when i last drove it and put the belt on in the exact same place...well that's what i tried to do. My dad helped me do the job but seeing he is a V8 man, all this overhead cam 'stuff' is new to him...lol Regards, Scott

So is this what i rotate? And rotate it the same way as the CAS itself to retard (clockwise)? Regards, Scott

Rotate backwards? Which way is that? Sorry i'm a little lost here. Scott

wrxhoon, what do you mean by moving a tooth out with the cas? Explain please if you could. When i put the new belt on, i didn't align to TDC. I just left everything untouched to put the new belt on. Well that's what i thought. Regards, Scott

wrxhoon, When i put the timing light on it, the timing marks looked to be 30deg off the scale (going by the 5deg increments). The CAS can't be adjusted to correct this???? Scott

I found the loop, but it didn't work with my timing light. So coil pack out and stuck the pickup between the coil and plug. Bingo. Timing out... It's showing the marks way off to the left. So here i go again and take it all apart. Well at least i'm learning. Going by the correct procedure this time around (from the manual). I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for all the advice. Scott

When it detonated, i backed off straight away...so i don't think i've hurt anything yet. How many degrees does the engine advance under load? Does anyone know? And which wire do i connect the pickup for the timing light? I won't be taking it to a workshop now either. I've taken it apart once, so why not again. *sigh* I'll do the timing light tomorrow night. Thanks for the help. Scott

Yeah i've been having a search and a big read. I dunno whether to take it to a workshop or not.

Thanks blind_elk Can someone give me a rundown on how to check the timing as i have the light. Like where i get the pickup from etc. And what marks i should be looking for. Thanks, Scott

CAS is nearly all the way to the end of the slot. I turned it clockwise. The car starts real easy as well....better than before even. Scott

I have just done my waterpump and timing belt (myself and my dad). But now i am noticing detonation in the high rpm region (6k>). We thought we put the timing belt in the exact same position as the old belt...but the old belt had stretched a bit. Would this detonation be caused by a misalignment of the timing belt with the cams? And how many teeth could it be out by? It runs well right up to about 6000rpm and then i hear the dreaded 'tink tink'. I am not driving it at the moment until i get it sorted out. I also adjusted the CAS but with little success. If i am a tooth out, does that mean the whole deal (harmonic balancer etc) has to come off again or is there an easier way? I have not checked the timing with a timing light. I put a atmospheric bleeding BOV on at the same time but i don't think that has anything to do with the problem as that would only make mixtures richer. Advice would be much appreciated. Regards, Scott

Yep see you guys there. Scott

No luck with that link Joel.... Scott

88000km's on the clock so i thought i would do the timing belt now seeing as i had to do the water pump. I just hope the CAS is in the same position....
