yes, any aftermarket cam gear made for the rb26 will bolt onto the rb20...

i personaly run trust gears as they are a VERY quality piece of kit, im happy with them.

its not hard to install the cam gears if you follow directions for removing the timing belt properly, and im sure there is a thread somewhere on here about how to remove and install a timing belt.

you will need to remove the valve covers tho while installing the gears as you need to be able to hold the cam inplace while removing and installing the gears, if i were you i would wait a bit and save for some cams (which makes a TREMENDOUS diffrence) so that all the effort isnt wasted on just a gear install.

also remember that it's be easier to move the cam with a large shifter by the CAM than trying to move the whole crank etc to line up the 4 degree marker on the cam gear.

will be interesting to see what kind of difference they make on the rb20

in and ex gears on rb20 typically make 10-15 rwkw. Question though... if getting a workshop to do it, is it worth doing it when replacing timing belt, eg. biiiig labour cost? or is it a matter of loosening and little labor cost involed?

timing belt has to come off to fit gears so its only a matter of new parts to go back on...

negative silver gtst, whole timing belt needs to come off, if you pop one of the cam wheels off, you will never get it back on again without either damaging the belt or f**king up the timing
It CAN BE DONE. Simply mark the belt where it matches to the TDC mark on the "current" cam wheel. Remove the camwheel, then align the mark to the TDC mark on the "new" cam wheel, then pop the wheel back onto the front of the cam. Might need a spot of stretching, but it's not impossible.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
