[socal] Topanga Cyn Run
As soon as I get my car running I will come out. I am so sad about my car right now. Just spent about 24 hours taking everything apart to see if there was damage from broken timing belt, now it runs like shit that I have it back together. . I don't know what to do now I feel so defeated.

You may have bent valves i know i snap my timing belt on my ca20 and just put new belt but my car ran like shit after that. I dont know how much gap the vg have but i know that the ca20 has 0.010 mm of a gap which is not alot.
If you have rough idel or rpm wont drop no more then 1500 rpm you may have bent valves
also lack of power.
Even if you do a compression test or leak down test you wont find the problem. The valve may be bent a little.
I suggest you take the heads off and send them to be check. I pay about 150 bucks per head at a machine shop.
If you need valves, head gasket, etc i could help you find it at a low cost.
I dont know if the 94 nissan quest vg motor is the same as the 88 vg motor but my Mom owns the van i had rebuilt her vg 3 times already and may have spare parts.
Or may be the timing is off or the belt on cam is of by thooth or need to be advance.
What ever the case is let me know i am down to help you out man
Topanga Canyon is great when there's no traffic (off-peak weekend hours), but it regularly becomes a parking lot due to traffic and construction work. I regularly drive Topanga Canyon; also, there is a really beautiful lookout point at the peak.
A great run for the S12 is Malibu Canyon to PCH, east on PCH to Topanga, turn left on Old Topanga Canyon Road, left on Mulholland Drive.

Hung can verify but I'm pretty sure me and him did this on the way to Sterling's one time after he finished my Diff.
Oh nopes. We did Turnbull Canyon, REALLY short course haha. I wish we had more time to just kick it there and run, but I was on a mission. It's really fun cuz it's a technical course.
I haven't been to Topanga Canyon yet. I hear about it once in a while though.
