Howdy, Probably get flamed for this but here goes. 2 Weekends ago, I attempted to do my RB25DET's timing kit (2nd time doing it, so not a noob). But this time on this particular R33, I've managed to 1. damage the harmonic balancer 2. possibly farked the VCT, I rattle guned it's mum to take off the nut as it was like welded on Anyways, got a new balancer, etc. and now the car is running, but it runs like poo over ~5k rpm. It has no farking pull what so ever. So, I've checked the timing markings (again) and they all line up 100%, the tensioner is done correctly and locked in (giving about 1/4 turn of the belt) But the car still runs like poo, the CAS has been installed exactly where it was last marked (but I have yet to check the base timing with a gun). I can hear the VCT clicking over, etc..but I'm not overly sure how it works. I'm concerned I screwed it using a rattle gun. On my previous R33 it came off with just a wrench, with this one it was like seized, so out came the rattle gun. So is there any possible way of checking the VCT besides hearing it click? -
Hey guys, Long time lurker. Before you read this thread, please play this in the background. I've recently done some damage to my ol' R32 and she's a little worse for wear. After a couple years of incident-free fun with her I've dun goofed. Long story short, went into a corner too hot and smacked a gutter. Here's some pics: I'm hoping someone out there could: a) Let me know what damage I may have done here besides the obvious. b) How hard these parts are to get, what they'd cost and how difficult you think they are for an amateur to fix (I've replaced a turbo myself, any more difficult probably couldn't do). c) If there's someone you could recommend in Sydney to repair and approx cost? I know I'm an idiot (let's skip that), I also know you can't possibly know all potential damage without inspecting. With that said, I would REALLY appreciate some advice, especially from people experienced with similar damage. Any help would be great, thanks in advance. Josh.
