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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
