hi guys my first post.

okay I've had my GTR for about 1 year now its got 85,000 km on the clock it get service every 5,000 km. I was driving tonight as normal and i noticed it wasn't making any boost, after about 30 seconds it started making boost again so i kept diving cause i had to to get home then next minute the engine dies, i herd a noise before it died but with the loudness of the exhaust i couldn't tell you what it sounded like. I pulled over and tried starting it again but nothing just winds over and I can see one of the cams rotating, i can also hear it got some compression while winding over. So it's on the side off the road around the corner from my place there's no oil or anything on the ground where it happened or where it sit's.

Would love to know what you guys thought cause she's my baby ! .

Do share your findings?

Cam failure?

'Box failure?

Electrical?

well i rang the mechanic and asked him whats wrong with it and he said its got no compression and the timing belt is good so asked him again whats wrong with it and how much has that cost and hes said i dont know and my bill is up to

$220 i said dont worry about it a take it home figure it out myself ffs. so im thinking one of the cams has moved on the cam gear im gonna look at it saturday and ill let you know. all up ive spent $340 and still dont know whats wrong with it :(

yeah its weird it just stoped all of a sudden so.. and also im a mechanice i just didnt have time at that stage to look at it lol. i live in townsville .

sorry, but surely if youre a mechanic, wouldnt you have gotten it towed straight home?

why did you take it to another mechanic?

oh, cams cant 'slip/spin' as they are located by the retaining bolts.

if all the bolts snap, I suspect the gear would drop off.

possible you have a split boost pipe?

as already mentioned, skipped teeth(timing belt jump) on one of the cams.

had this happen to me.

timing belt idler collapsed on start up.

low on comp.

new belt and pullies.

and it was fine.

you were driving, so hopefully no internal damage.

okay guy, like i have said i didn't have time to look at it at that stage and thought if i took it to a guy that works on them all the time he would be able to tell me what's wrong with it but he couldn't .

so I've had a look this morning and the exhaust cam is out one tooth retarded and don't know if the belt has moved on the crank gear.

so I'm asking you guys if that would stop a RB26 from running, because I'm not a GTR expert and don't try to be, still learning about them every day.

I'm going to set the timing up right and see if it runs but that's next weekend job.

thanks guys.
