You need to post prices

Go the cams. Why not eh!

nope. Just sound. Didn't really check for water/moisture, but I would think that it wouldn't really make a difference.

I used to race Radio Controlled Cars at the track over at Templestowe Reserve. Before it got all re-done. I raced a Tamiya 4WD, Celica it was. Had it ball raced, electronic speed control and used to only ever loos to a guy who had one extra ball bearing in the car, the big one near the motor. Loved it! Sold the car and all the bits to buy an exhaust for my first Commodore. VN V6 5 speed! So that's where it all started!

Get sway bars from whiteline. Controls bodyroll, which in turns means you can use lesser rated springs and softer shocks, whilst still retaining flat cornering.

666Dan. Free. I have a business TNT account. Makes things easy.

I removed the padding. Yyou could definently hear the difference. It's not like you've got a pod filter or anything, but you can hear the BOV!

Yep. Sure would It's a common upgrade. Bolts up I believe.

All in favour?

Pull on it really really hard. see what happens!

Try the magazines. Zoom, HPI, etc.

Well, the final cost isn't down yet, as for the prototype was hand tapped and not zinc plated and hasn't have any markings on it. The commercial ones will be Laser Cut, Laser Etched and CNC Machined, or just CNC Machined and then Zinc Plated. Gotta work out the numbers. Probably at this stage they will be Laser Cut, Laser etched and then CNC machined. Maybe I will have the markings CNC machined, and then the finished product will be plated. To fit up, I would say about an hour or so. You will need a 6mm drill bit, pedestal drill and a couple of hours I guess. Gotta pull the Cam cover off, remove inlet cam gear and VVT stuff. Drill out the existing M6 tapped holes. Put adjuster plate on the back, screw in four bolts from the front of the Cam gear. Adjust so adjustment is in centre, or where the pulley was to start with. Lock everything up nice and tight. Real tight. Reinstall inlet cam gear, and all VVT stuff. Then, you are ready to adjust cam gear. If you were serious, you would probably spin it up on the dyno and play with the gear until you are happy. The best part is that to adjust the gear, you simply loosen the four bolts, adjust gear, and tighten back up. Not like the exhaust cam gear where you have to remove and replace the damn CAS everytime. BASS OUT

Free.

Ignore the AFRs. The Dyno sensor was up the shit, they were using their own seperate probe.

Hey guys. Well, a little while ago I discovered that there is an allowance for inlet cam gear adjustment from the factory. For some reason, possibly emissions etc, Nissan has handily made the VVT assembly adjustable, but it is very hard to do, involving removing the pulley each time you want to adjust it. That is until I made up a ring which, with slight modification to the standard pulley allows adjustment from the front of the engine in a matter of seconds; with the cam gear cover off of course. Now, until now, nobody had tried them on a car with any sort of dyno charts to prove anything. Until now. On the weekend, an R33 which shall remain nameless, and a workshop who shall also remain nameless tried one of my little wonder rings, and made some fairly significant gains by advancing the inlet cam a little. The peak power remained the same, but the power through the rev range was increased by a very reasonable amount. How’s 20rwkw sound? In the lower range, off boost, power was also increased, and then when the car began to boost, power was up everywhere. The power flattens out at the very top, but stays up and doesn’t nose over. Car has following mods. Intercooler, highflow turbo and Wolf3D and other supporting stuff. The procedure with the tune was as follows. Adjustable exhaust cam gear was added, power run up. Exh gear adjusted to about 4 degrees. Pretty standard stuff on an R33. The top made was the Black line. Then the inlet cam gear was adjusted. Can’t say how much by at this stage. But you can see, with each amount of adjustment, the power curve moved across, until the final one made the 20rwkw at about 4500rpm Nothing was changed on the tune, no adjustments were made with timing or anything. Just the pulley was adjusted. The VVT was still active, and the changeover points, to my knowledge, are very close to stock, they were only adjusted to fine tune the turbo. Obviously soon, I will be spinning my car up and trying it with a stock turbo but with Tomei Poncams, and seeing what we can see. Also, I will be making the adjusters up to a commercial quality, with adjustment marks and zinc plating them for longevity, and a batch will be made up. I would like somebody in Melbourne to try one of these with stock management and stock turbo etc just to get a grip on the power gain possible with everything stock. I will supply an adjuster free of charge, but I will need you to spin the car up on a dyno, which I can arrange in Croyden. Any volunteers? Here’s the dyno charts, see for your self and make your own decision.

You might be surprised with the insurance on an R34 Insurance goes on statistics. Less R34's have been written off by irresponsible driving, therefore, statistically they are less of a risk, therefore less insurance.

found it

Where can I see pics?

For a bit of extra sound, remove the padding on the inside of the standard lid. It's for soudn deadening. try that before leaving the lid off.

Alpine are always good.

Okay gents. In preperation for the end of this group buy, being Friday, could you all please post your postal suburb. I'll ask for a full name, phone number and address later. The address that I will ask you for will be your work address, because TNT require the package to be signed for. So, what are they? BASS OUT

And now SK has the requried adjustment pulley adaptor thingo to try it........ An adjustable thingo made 20rwkW jsut recently on 245rwkW car. brought the power curve left quite a bit, top end power the same, just making the same power earlier. BASS OUT

Bump

The world is a much more informative place because of people like Cubes. Thanks for the Pics.

Rich and Retard!
