hi all have just got myself an r33 , had a previous repair on the belt and after setting everything up according to all timing marks i have no compression on any cylinders , any help on fixing this issue will be appreciated

What happened to the last belt? If it was snapped while driving then the engine is probably a throw away.

before you go removing the head, remove tappet covers and see if either any valves have stuck down (ie bent) or if any can be pulled out spring and all (ie broken valves)

Cant see all the valves in every cylinder kissing pistons therefore should have some pressure....you're clearly doing something wrong.

....and if a valve hits a piston, the whole motor is not necessarily a throw away.

removing the head will be the last option , will be removing the tappet covers tomorrow to check out everything else . not much else you can do wrong if you set everything the way the factory says to ( ie using all of the timing marks etc ) even with no belt the motor still free spins with all the plugs in it

no i didnt , it seems that the previous owner has spent a lot of time trying to get this thing running again and has just told me that once they had fitted the timing belt and went to start the car it locked up ( now i know i have bigger issues ) and they went over it and reset everything numerous times with no good results ( including winding the motor with out the belt to see if they had any compression ) seems that i can move both cams with little or no force aswell

clearly you guys don't know what you're doing so I suggest you see a mechanic.

First you said that it turns with no compression now you're saying that it locks up and in between you said that the motor spins freely without the belt which is an absolute NO NO to anyone that knows what they are doing....goodluck with it mate but it does look like you've got some troubles now that could've possibly been avoided if taken to a mechanic immediately

EDIT: Also, I don't see how you can turn the cams easily if the lobes are hard pressed against spring retainers.....unless of course certain valves are stuck open or broken now (which I'm guessing is quite likely).

sounds like you bent the valves which now won't close to create compression, by attempting to fix something with no clue

RB's are interference engines, throw a belt, bend a valve or break them off in most cases

open the oil filler cap, have someone spin the engine by hand, see if you can see the rockers/cams etc moving at all, before wasting time pulling the head

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
