New 26 Just Dropped In

Just dropped in a 68k Rb26 with HKS 2510 turbos into my 32 gtr. She started up really easy idled really really rough and blew alot of white smoke. This finally cleared so i guess it was just oil from the engine sitting around for a long time.

Heres the current problem. It is really really slow to free rev takes ages to get to even 4k. Stabbing the throttle does stuff all compaired to my old rb20.

Taking it for a test drive tomorrow to see how it goes.

Now I know there is one problem the CAS was loose. We have set the timing to where it idles the best and tightened it up. Want to get a timing light on it but cant see how with the coil plugs.

Any ideas on setting timing and the possable problem?

you can still use a timing light to find the base timing id say its either CAS or maybe the timing belt now put on properly possible skipped tooth?

Where do you hook the timing light up too? i doubt its skipped a tooth on the timing as belt is well tensioned and was not removed being a 68k engine it should be due for replacement yet.

Taking ages to spin up is probably due to timing too retarded, so that maximum combustion pressure occurs after TDC. Using a timing light on RB-series engines has been covered numerous times.

Did you get the injectors cleaned before you installed the engine.

... Running some injector cleaner through it with the fuel. ...
Pretty much a waste of time, if the injectors are already dirty. And if the engine has been sitting around for a while, who knows what condition they are in?

Run a HT (conventional coil lead) lead between the coil pack and spark plug and clip the timing light on that.

Timing gun attached and working. Just need to be 100% sure about setting the timing.

Idle at 950rppm timing should be set to 20deg BTDC

From left to right what does each mark represent? I think i have it done right but just want to make sure.

Have searched through the gtr service manual but at 300 pages i haven't found anything yet.

Cheers for the help

Details are shown on page EN-11 of the genuine service manual......28 pages in from the start of the manual (well, it is in my electronic version)

Don't know how I missed that part. OK Timing set now. Issue with coil pack fixed and she now seams to be running alot better.

Al tho its now blowing a heap of white smoke when i give it a bit of throttle. Smells like oil burning. Could it be oil in the cooler pipes from the old engine?

May as well update this even tho car is gone.

White smoke was from a massive build up of oil in the cooler pipes from the old engine.

Engine problem was due to dodgy silicon joiner that would only open up under boost. Car ran perfect after this.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
