Changes by last author:

Added:
(Prefer 1.1.27 if it's a missingtooth setup)
Added:
* VR sensor resistance: measured: ... Ohm

* DC voltage at EC36pin27: 0.95V (?)

** does it look good with R30=18k onboard pullup to +5V ? (sensor resistance > 3k ??)

Changed:
Tried 2 crank triggers (1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE) Both the same.

Changed:
I’m playing the test trigger signal via a soundcard and can prove the signal is getting to pin 3 of the LM1815 chip, but have probed the output side and it registers nothing.

Changed:
Input voltage measured at EC36 Pin27 and also a pickup point in the middle of the board that’s directly linked to pin 27 is around 0.95v AC

Input voltage measured at pin 3 (signal input) of the LM1815 is around 0.25v AC

Input voltage measured at EC36 Pin27 and also a pickup point in the middle of the board that’s directly linked to pin 27 is around 0.95v AC

Input voltage measured at pin 3 (signal input) of the LM1815 is around 0.25v AC (and what DC bias ?

Voltage might not cross 0V. That is AC too low or DC too positive. You can try a 2k7 or similar (1k..10k) pulldown to GND.

Added:

It is rather unlikely to blow LM1815, signal bias issue is more likely if the signal amplitude is low. The external pulldown can help, or removing R30 (or using a higher value, like 47k). 18k was perfect for all VR we've seen so far.
