whatsisname: Are you able to install an Adjustable Cam Gear on the inlet side as well, without completely removing the factory VCT gear? As in, will I still have the VCT with the Adjustable Cam gear?? The reason I ask, is because if I can install both, then I can have light weight gears on both to reduce rotational mass and maybe advanve the inlet a little. BASS OUT

Hey Ppls. Well I thought I was going to use it, but now I'm not. Apexi Super Air Flow Converter 2 Brand new still in box including warranty card and all bits and pieces. New been used. $480. I'm in Melb. BASS OUT

Oh, yes the base timing was also reset.

Warpspeed: I'll rephrase myself. You know where the cam is in relation to the crank as the standard pulley is already in the zero degree position. The adjustable cam gear simply replaces that pulley identically when the setting it as zero. When you adjust the centre of the gear, you either advance or retard the timing of the cam.

Where are you located?

The installer was the gentleman who used to set up the Gibson Motorsport Skylines which many times won the Touring car races and Bathurst, so I figure he knwos what he's doing. He's also busy setting up Targa cars. The position of the cam in respect to the crank isn't really relevant as the cam gear lines up with four bolts for clamping and one dowel hole for positioning, so it can only go on one way and in one position. Twisting the outside pulley section in relation to the inside boss is what adjusts the timing either in advance or retard. BASS OUT

The car was run on the dyno, then fitted with the cam and retarded the timing 4 degrees, and then run again. I don't know what the actual opening and closing point were before. Maybe the Neo6 does not get the same results as the other RB25 DETs???

It was at 4 degrees, ans the base timing adjusted to suit also.

Hey Ppls. Well I just had my HKS Cam gear installed at a very reputable workshop and had it dynoed both before and after. I decided to get dynos before and after so everyone could see exact results for your information (bloody cost me heaps too!!!) We found virtually zero difference between standard or HKS, and have dyno results to prove it. The car was left strapped to the rollers whilst the install took place to ensure that the results were controlled properly (moving the car on the rollers can effect results). The techician is extremly experianced with these engines so he's not a hack. I haven't been on a long fang to gauge full 'seat of the pants' results, but the dyno says no change. They told me that with programmable engine management I would see more results, as I could then adjust the timing as nessecary. Anyway, I will post up dyno charts this aftenoon to show you all. Also, I had a run done with and without my exhaust silencer (which I will also post up) and the results are remarkable. HUGE drop in power through the whole rev range, as well as big boost drop up top. Anyway, stay posted for pictures. BASS OUT

So, What's news??

Hey ppls. Well, I used to be a religious Hard Kandy goer, every second Friday night, from 12 till 10am. I used to be that guy up on the stage (when they still had the stage) all night going nuts, and the last one on the floor at 10am at close!! I went between 2 and 4 years ago, and so did all my friends. But now I'm old and fat(ish) and can't keep up with the yound kiddies like I used to. Besides, last time I went, a few months ago for their 4th birthday I was dissappointed by the clientel, too many people on the stairs and nobody as friendly as I remember it. anyway, I used to go.

Ah HA! I have it sorted. My adobe was automatically opening an old version of Acrobat reader, and therefore one not updated with the new language pack. Problem solved and manual printed out! Thanks for your help guys BASS OUT

Other manuals on the site work, such as the power F.C one, but the S-AFC2 one doesn't.

Okay, I tried downloading the new Acrobat 6.0 reader and installing the Japanese language fonts, but still to no avail. it says "There was an error processing this page. The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing or currupted. Does anybody have a version that DEFINENTY works from this and could they e-mail it to me. Its the S-AFC 2 manual and wiring diagram. [email protected] thanks BASS OUT

Pm me too

Hey ppls. I would like to add a Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge to my dash cluster, and I would like to know where the probe goes for the reading? Is there a factory probe, or do I need to add a new one? The main reason I ask, is that if I'm going to get a new dump pipe, I need to add the boss for the probe before I get the dump made or HPC coated. Cheers BASS OUT

Hey ppls. I have searched the web and the forums and I can only find reference to the USE Apexi site for the english instructions for the S-AFC 2 The download works from Apexi, but it has errors so there is 64 pages of nothing. Does anybody have this on file that definently works?? All help appreciated. BASS OUT

Check PM

How Much did you pay??

Serious?? Nobody has had any experience with these guys?? BASS OUT

Hey ppls. I'm wondering if anybody has used the CES racing Twin Dump Pipe for their Skylines?? I currently have a Blitz Front pipe and am considering swapping to a twin dump but would like some feed back first.... Thanks BASS OUT

check PM again.

Dude, I'm glad everything is working out well, but I think you are nuts not getting a lawyer. It will be alosmt impossible for you to get any money out of her just by talking to her. You need a legal binding document that is going to force her to pay. Check your PM for details of a place that can handle it for you. BASS OUT
