Hey ppl. just looking at getting some cams for my skyline. (r34GTT). just wondering what cam best suits my application? ive searched the forums already and come up with not much at all. Bass junky advised on the Tomei pon cam type A. just wanted other opinions on this and if cam gears would be neccessary or a good addition?both IN and EX? and also good upgraded set of brake pads.

my car currently has Turbo back exhaust, ARC front mount, when cams are bought ARC airbox/ shroud will be coming also, power FC, profec B spec II(for sale if anyone's interested) and will probably be high flowing standard turbine rather then upgrading.

Any info will be greately appreciated.

cheers

Maurice

Don't bother with cams unless/until you are upgrading the turbo.

The Tomei Poncam type B 260/260 are the best for my money although I don't know anyone with an R34 and the Type A. Put it this way, they don't destroy your idle or reduce driveability much so why not go as big as possible?

They are still street cams when it comes down to it, Tomei make the Procams for more full on situations.

I have 255 rwkw with a GCG highflow at 0.9 bar and these cams.

I don't think the cam gears are worth getting although if you want you can sacrifice some idle smoothness for early boost with stock turbo. I think this would equate to top end losses with bigger turbo.

i was told that the type A with a standard highflowed turbo woudl result in better response rather than the larger 260 which is more suited to an upgraded. i was told i would get the same power with these cames and highflow turbo?? hmmmm. sounds like more resaerch is needed. what about other brands?? anyone have any testimonials or heard anythign about other brands??

thanks for the input ABO.

Don't do that.  They don't help R34's.  It's been tested and proven.

What about R33s?

Been thinking about replacing my gears when I do the timing belt.

Edit: did search, found info :D

Well installation won't be an issue.... so it's just the cost of the part + delivery for me :P

Question for Bass and Abo; on a scale of 10, how would you rate this upgrade in terms of bang for buck? I know both of you probably did a whole lot of other stuff at the same time, but give it your best opinion

Cheers guys

I have very similar mods to Bass Junky too except for cams. Made 226rwkw on the initial tune, now making about 10-15rwkw more with boost control kit and Z32 AFM, call it 235-240rwkw.

Cams will be the next step for me, but they certainly weren't a priority. 10rwkw is probably a good "figure".

It's not just the extra 10kw.

I'm making over 240 rwkw for over 1500rpm.

It's a big fatr curve.

The stock cams fall over at 6000rpm.

the poncams are on song at 4500 right through to 8000.

See how flat the torque curve is?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
