Hoping you guys can help me out or have some ideas.  Sorry if it is alittle long i went to get all the details out there.  I have a 1991 nissan skyline GTST with a rb20det in it.  I recently took it to the tuners to get cams, cam gears, and a new timing belt installed.  Boy has it been a nightmare.  To start they got everything installed and had the car on the dyno ready to go.  While it was on the dyno the timing belt walked backwards into the motor and shredded it alittle.  I got a call telling me this and that it was caused by the tension bolt.  I am guessing they cross threaded it or something because they had to order a new one.  They also went ahead and ordered me a new timing belt.  At this point I am like ok no big deal they are fixing what they messed up.  They get it put back together and everything is good to go I get the call to come get it.  Then I get a call saying they were pulling it out of the garage and there was oil on the floor.  They said it was coming from the front main seal.  So we went ahead and replaced that.  Since they now had to take it all back apart to change that It made sense to just go ahead and get a new water pump as well since that is right there.  They get all the parts in to do that and change it all out.  They put the car back on the dyno to make sure everything is good to go and the car is know down 100hp.  They had the car on the dyno after they replaced the timing belt and got the cams in and it was at 340whp.  So I get a call saying they compression checked all the cylinders and cylinder 1 has 0 compression now.  I will post pictures of cylinder 1 and what the rest of the cylinders look like.  There first thought is a mechanical fail with injector 1.  They sent out the injectors to be flow tested free of charge and they came back all working good.  They then tell me they are going to look at a few other things and get back to me later that day.  I get a call saying that they checked the timing and everything to make sure that was still good and they say the timing is perfect on it.  No valves or anything were bent in the head.  They are still going to look at a couple other things to determine if it was there fault or not.  I guess my question is what do you think could have caused this?  Do you think its on them?  I unfortionetly  did not compression test it before it went there so I don't know what it was at.   The car was running perfect before it went there.  They had previously done all of my tune work and everything to my car as well.  I am prolly forgetting some things but I tried to include everything.  Please let me know what you're guys thoughts are.

If a motor has zero comp on a cylinder why the hell would you go and point the finger at injectors? 

Sounds like you've been taken for a ride.

Also I suspect bent valves.

Just take the head off and find out.  This internet diagnosis thing is bullshit.

This and this.

You sound very american.

Your workshop of choice is shit, find a new one or better yet learn to do everything yourself. If the car was running fine before it went in then it had some compression. Only time i have ever seen zero comp is because of a chipped valve. 

Find a new workshop and let them take the head off and go from there.

This may sound harsh but it is solid advice. Get a new workshop.  You dont destroy a cam belt, lose compression and then start looking at injectors for the fault.

BTW - it was their fault.

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
