Hey team. After much swearing and cursing I have come to discover the reason my car wont start is due to a snapped exhaust cam! How it has happened I have no idea!!!

Any how my problem has now come in that I have no idea in what to put in its place? Any suggestions please, I am prepared to change both cams but am not sure of which will best suit the car?

Mods are

S2 RB25 DET (210kw@wheels) :D

Modified inlet plenum

Forged pistons (2.6litre now rather than 2.5)

FMIC

Stock R33 S2 Turbo

600hp Bosch fuel pump

Wolf3d V4 plus ECU

Turbosmart E-boost EBC

What to do????????????????????

Need help on prices, brands, which ones are best suited etc, etc

i have a stock exhaust cam sitting here that will replace it if you like

you shouldnt have to replace both

Thanks for the reply mate, replacing it again with another stock one is probably my preferred option as i will not need to get retune etc etc etc. What are you willing to part with your stock cam for?

snapped the cam and didn't damage the valves? :ermm:

No mate, the cam broke on re-assembly. I needed to drill out two broken cam journal studs which required removal of cams etc. When tightening down the cam it apparently decided to snap. I discovered this after it was assembled and would not start. I rebuilt the engine a year ago myself and have had cams out heaps of times. Its not like i didnt know what i am doing or anything its just one of those things hey. Timing was done correctly and everything. Still i was quite annoyed with myself when i discovered what had happened!!!!

hmm are u refering to the cam gear or the cam shaft itself just to clarify

hmm shit all if your going to pick it up

Cam shaft itself mate, Your address is in Auckland so will be unable to pick it up as I live at the Gold Coast Australia. Am more than happy to pay postage and all that good stuff. Funny enough I have an R33 paper weight without it! Dont really want to go aftermarket cams as I would be looking at $800+ and on top of that a retune. So will fix you up accordingly!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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?

      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
