It isn't hyro-locked, if it was it would not turn on the starter. 

However, that doesn't rule out a bent rod (rods will bend as they are applying the force from the crank, valves will be fine)

The JECS resistor pack is just a set of resistors that increase the resistance to the injectors, it won't have failed, particularly if the injectors are opening/closing when you turn the CAS. The ignitor pack on the other hand might be an issue, perhaps the spark is weak.

However, on thinking again, I wonder about the exhaust and in particular muffler being blocked. Can you disconnect the exhaust from the front pipe down near the gearbox and try again?

Motor was locked. Will be doing comp test when i get back to my house, couldnt find my gauge..

I used the blow function on a shop vac to ensure exaust was not blocked. Put to pre turbo intake and plugging tb pipe

I have 2 rb' so I have taken a second ignightor and tested. When plugs are grounded to the block on all 6 there is a strong spark no change in spark between ignightors.

If the resistance pack is recieving power wouldnt that increase resistance and result in injectors spraying more fuel and adding oxygen. 

I'm at the point of diagnosing no combustion despite there being timing spark and fuel.

One thing I'm seeing is I can crank for a solid 2 min pull the plugs and they are dry for the most part.

Can someone tell me what the resistor is supposed to read on a meter? Is it powered? When I test mine it reads zero on ohms and volt

When you say "motor was locked", when, how did you learn that, and what did you do to unlock it?

The resistor pack should have 5ohm between pin 3 and all other pins

If you want to test the spark side, here are the resistor pack and coil pack values

Noting this is RB26 not Rb20, but 99% sure they are the same

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
