How much did that set you back?

If you don't mind me asking, who or whats Nengun ;)

Nengun is someone that used to live in Perth but moved to japan. He has a little business selling aftermarket parts over there.... I recently bought my FMIC and AVC-R from him. He ships the parts pretty quickly and you can potentially save alot of money buying through someone like himself as opposed to buying the parts locally.

gts-vspec,

Might have a look at doing it myself. I've changed timing chains and things before, it's even easier when its a belt.

The key is to mark everything set at 0deg TDC and line it all back up.

The only thing I have never encountered is the crank angle sensor thingo. Anyone had a go t doing this themselves?

Who has had problems with installing the cam gear?

What do the tuners stuff up? Is it the timing position or do they damage parts upon install?

I'm just curious to know GTS-Vspec as it sounds like you have had some experience around this issue.

Cool, wish i'd known that earlier ;)

I just bought a HKS Type 1 turbo timer from PerfectRun. I'm starting to wonder if it would of worked out cheaper buying it locally.

Freight was the big killer at $40!! and it's been 3 weeks since i first ordered it.

I don't think there is anything particularly difficult or tricky, but some places are lazy and get apprentices to do this stuff, they tend to leave things loose or don't get the timing belt right, so it can be messy after that.

See'ya:burnout:

Rev if you have Issue No. 23 of High Performance Imports they go through installing Cam gears in the technical section.

The major point they make is :

"Be very careful; after each and every adjustment, turn the engine over by hand to ensure there is no interference between the pistons and valves. This can quickly make the whole task very expensive."

It also says to make sure the inner adjustment ring is set to zero.

And also to make sure that the bolts are nice and tight, so the gears dont slip position and make the engine stop.

Hope those little snippets of info helps ;)

If I feel game enough I'll put the gear in at home, and sadly dissapoint those guys waiting to see the dyno of my car.

Then again I might just let someone else get the cuts and scrapes and pay them to do it. In that case I will get the dyno time.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
