Ok where do I start. I have a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 GTT ot recently had an issue with a phantom misfire I tried to locate and bought a consult fixed pending codes and cleared ecu for code 55 all clear.

 

Next on inspection we checked the timing using the consult which originally displayed 15 degrees fluctuates 14-16 then we went to put every thing back together and move on to plugs and coils but I thought I'd run consult again to which nothing was moved but timing on consult said below 10 but timing light says normal. I cant adjust anything to bring up timing on consult I have read the workshop manual which we have here but still nothing and I'm doing as requested.

 

Can anyone here help me or point me into a direction where someone can... thank you guys

I've pulled timing covers off to discover a loose timing belt and a broken tensioner I've put it on the hoist and pulled it down I'm hoping replace belt tensioner pump and seals and reset ecu start timing procedure again.
Then back to hunt for misfire.

Im having problems getting the car timing I can only get close to 15degrees and the car is missing and popping replaced timing belt put all at tdc tensionerd belt correctly and can only get 15 degrees when maxing out the cas also the consult which I purchased from Stahl car says it's at 0 degrees then fluctuates from 5 to 10 is there anyone that can help or have had this issue resolved I'm at my wits end I'm on the south coast nsw and no decent shops to figure out this problem. Spark plugs have also been changed and are gapped a 0.8mm I dont know anymore.

Ok man thanks... I know it's a problem that I have induced... so do I set the cas back to centre disconnect TPS and try from there.... I know the base idle and everything has been messed with as heaps of people on the south coast has had a stab with no success.

Coil packs replaced and new plugs again bcpr7es 0.8mm problem still exists should I be looking at injectors and cas as I have both problems still rough misfiring idle and timing wont time properly. Or do I give up and take to Nissan?

Don't know what is meant by the South coast of NSW  but Nissan would not be one of the places I would let loose on my car. If you ask I am sure you will find at least a couple of shops in Sydney that have expertise in the RB

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
