Ok, so, i have an S2 stagea with the neo. I hadn't driven it for 2 days , went to start it... and it started and stopped straight away.. soo hmmm. i went to start it again and oh crap, it sounded like it had no compression.. like when i was cranking it was just free spinning the engine.. i crapped my pants and i instantly thought it had all of a sudden snapped a t-belt and bent valves in that second it ran for..

so i pulled the oil cap off to make sure the cams were turning when i was cranking the engine. i can only see the inlet side but its turning so the other side is to..

after i figured out the belt hadn't snapped, i thought Maybe the lifters had bled all their oil out ? so i continued cranking.. and it slowly started to sound like it was gaining compression, after about 10 minutes of solid cranking it over, the engine eventually started... wtf..?

so please, if anyone knows anything or has had this happen to them !!! HELLP ? I've owned the car since 35,000 km's, its now done 97,000.. thanks

look im just guessing at what normally is fairly easy to diagnose, can be random and will prevent the car from starting :)

kick it over when its on the consult and see whats going on. it might be a one off, but it also might be something starting to fail.

I agree with Iain, get under the hood and start checking electrical plugs and sensors. The first things I'd check would be injectors/fuel supply, coils, CAS, and ECU. If any of the other sensors are faulty, including the AFM, the engine will still start and run, albeit like a bag of crap. Is it possible an alarm/immobilizer system is stuffing with key systems? Also S2 neo motors have solid lifters so no need to worry about them bleeding out.

Not long ago 17yo was driving the 25G and it just died. When he tried to start it just spun, like no compression. Like yours the cams were turning. Compression tested. None????

What had happened was the timing belt laminated because the tensioner pulley had seized. The heat generated by the stuck pulley caused the outer layer of the belt to shred. It left the inner section of the belt, with the teeth, intact. That is why the cams were turning. BUT the belt had jumped a couple of teeth. Hence the valve timing was out of whack. No compression

He was lucky as none of the valves had contact with the pistons. If you do have to do the belt, get a new water pump also. Get a VL Commonwhore one.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
