lol ok i got it. thanks!

nvm that question, you can just rotate one of the cranks right? it doesnt have to be the balancer?

ok, is there anyway to check the alignments without having to remove the radiatior or clutch fan? or is impossible to do it that way?

hey guys, ive got a 1996 r33 s2. about 5 months ago (i know its too late to be posting now but better late than sorry i guess) i changed the water pump myself, using an online guide. Now being an idiot i missed the part where it says to align everything before taking off the timing belt. i only realised later. so i didnt move anything at all, and called a mate of mine (he knew his stuff). he came to check after i put everything back together. so he turned the harmonic balancer by hand basically and said it should be fine, but the timing belt might be off by 1 or 2 teeth. so i turned on the car and everything was fine, and am still driving it to this day. my question is, is the only way of checking if everything is alright is by taking it to a dyno? and if i did lose performance, is there a way to align things back to normal without spending thousands? basically i have to take everything off again right?

turbo timer actually is illegal.

no its a manual one. what about the turbo timer? is there any way to hide that?

ok thanks!

nah stock ecu

hey guys, ive got a r33 s2 thats tuned to 200 rwkw. i was defected over the weekend , and just wondering, can i just take off things like the pod filter and boost controller straight away? or does it have to be detuned to stock boost before taking off anything?

just wondering, if it is the engine, would i notice a different in how it drives? would the engine be running weird?

yeah thats what i thought.... i'll check again. thanks!

anyone else???

but the sound seems to be coming from the engine, and not where the cover is.

here's the link to the video:

hey guys, i have a 96 r33 s2, and i changed my water pump yesterday (my first time doing this). now before taking off the timing belt i didnt top center the engine (stupid mistake). but when i put everything back together the everything was still in its natural state, i didnt move any of the pullies indepedantly. i also got a mate who's a mechanic to check it out before i start the car, and all the marks aligned properly. the first time i turned on the car there was a loud knocking sound from the engine, and it got louder with the revs. but this sound seems to kind of stop after the engine warms up properly. ive included a video so you guys can hear for yourself. whats the chances its the valves? or the shifters? could i have caused this when i changed the water pump?
