Hey guys,

So I believe I have snapped my timing chain in my 350gt vq35.

I had some timing chain rattle and replaced the main tensioner. However half an hour into driving my car it completely died.

Upon inspections I looked into the opening where you remove the tensioner gave the car a quick crank and the chain did not move.

This has led me to believe that I have installed the tensioner incorrectly and snapped my chain.

So my question is what sort of damage can I expect from the chain snapping?

Also second part if anyone know a good mechanic in the lilydale Vic area I would be very appreciative?

Thanks

Sorry I couldn't help with repairing it Brendan, I suspect there is way too much damage to bother pulling it down and replacing parts.

Slap a wrecker engine into it, will cost a lot less than rebuilding the one you have imo, and a lot less work.

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc

      Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
