G'day lads. Im looking to replace my Intake and Exhaust Camshafts on my RB20DETT. Im looking at Tomei and HKS but I really dont know which way to go.

I don't understand how the angels affect performance despite all my reading. Anyone have any simple suggestions on to choose the correct camshafts for my engine?

Cheers lads and I do appologize for making everyone feel a little dumber.. :laugh:

Are you planning a turbo upgrade? sounds like alot of work to be running relatively low boost. Will only see advantages of camshafts when running higher boost. I run Tomei 256dur 8.5mm lift in mild RB25 engines,

works well on 16 psi or higher. a high flow would do the trick.

Sorry yes I am. The reason it isnt listed is the same as the cams. I havent decided yet.

Im tossing up Between an HKS GT-RS, Garret GT28RS, Or an R33 Turbo right now... I left that decision out of the thread so I wasnt asking a stupid amount of questions...

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
