Ok here goes.
Not sure what it is or caused it.
My sx with CA18DET just died while driving. i think i heard a rattling noise just before that and it lost all power.
It sounds like the engine got no compression at all when turning.
Oil is good , fuel good, water good and temp normal at time of incident.
Car got no big mods just bigger intercooler and exhaust rest is stock.
Any input appreciated.
Maybe it is time for a decent rebuild.
Thanks in advance
Check your compression first dude.
yea gonna have a look when weather is clear as it is raining cats and dogs here. and no garage atm
check if your cam belt snapped, couldve snapped and bent valves, thus now no longer have compression and wont start
ok guys cars engine seems ok valves fine cambelt fine plugs great.
AND i have decided to pull the engine to overhaul and fit my branches and new turbo after rebuild on engine .. now i need to budget for all the overhauling parts.
Thanx guys but i have no clue what it is and will have to pull the engine and open up to see.
But first i have a shoulder operation and then only i will pull the engine. When i have both my arms working again.

Before you pull you have to make sure it's mechanical, otherwise you redo the engine and it still doesn't start

Ja I agree!
Your CAS might have just kaked or something. what ecu fault codes are you getting?
I will make sure guys Thanx .
make sure you got
fuel pressure
spark
compression
CAS trigger
your temp sensor is working and still plugged in
injectors pulsing
proper ground
working battery
no ecu fault codes
If you need help to diagnose any of the above just shout
I will shout when needing help. But for now I am in hospital visiting the butcher.
Fuel pump fuse?
Already checked it working perfectly
Good luck with the op...
Thanx Gameboy. Much appreciated buddy.

This ^^^
Do you get spark on the plugs?
On mine once the pin holding "connectormajig"* to the CAS shaft broke which resulted in no spark to the plugs or erratic spark at best.
*just a random google image - top arrow points to connectormajig though
Yea I am gonna recheck all when I am finished with my shoulder surgery thanks not sure but the cas seemed to be ok I will have a look again.
So shoulder surgery is done ...on the road to recovery...i have decided to replace the engine completely....got a quote for a good replacement one about R9900 including fitment if not mistaken.
ok guys i removed the cylinder head of my SX ... the compression on all cylinders were real bad.
I got a quote on a gasket set from nissan for the complete head for R2511 and the head bolts with the washers for R1100 and the waiting time on the head bolts is 21 days +-.
Are there any other places i should consider to buy or can i reuse the same headbolts which i am not keen on doing at all.
