Did u turn it over by hand before starting?

How long did it run before it stopped? Did u have the cas bolted onto the timing cover or did u start it with it bolted straight to the holder without the timing cover

turned it over 6 times by hand before starting.

it ran for about 5 seconds. and stalled.. no untoward sounds/smells.

It was on a hill with under empty fuel. so put 10Litres in, still no deal.

now checked plugs for fouling, coil packs, cas, all fine.

leads me to think im still not getting fuel.

Cas is bolted to the cover (clear cover)

You didnt disturb your injector wiring when removing the covers to put the cams?

Check for spark, put a screw driver against a injector while someone cranks it and put your ear against the screw driver to listen if they are ticking and operating (like a stethoscope)

did you check the cam timing after tuning it over by hand? usually it'll still start if its 1 tooth out but worth checking. has your cam still got the aligning tooth for the cas? if not make sure the cas is lined up in the correct teeth aswell as the where it was before on the cover.

as for fuel, check pressure and flow if the injectors are definately firing

There's compression.

And as for bending a valve, you'd hear that. There were no untoward noises and it didn't stop abruptly. Just sounded like it sputtered out of fuel.

Taking it to a mate tomorrow who has a 32GTR. Hopefully he'll pick on on something stupid I've missed. Also has diagnostic tools etc to check with

Engine still has compression.

Only thing I could think of is because the car was on a hill for 6 hours with minimal fuel that when cranked it sucked gunk into the lines and blocked it as the problem purely seems to be lack of fuel.

I don't know though.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
