Sorry MIC33R, I did not measure up the RB25DE cams and I haven't seen any figures for them floating around. I believe those numbers are for Series 2 RB25DET, my understanding is that Series 1 cams are a little more aggressive.

Regardless, using Meg's numbers, the GTR exhaust cams are a little less aggressive in the timing, 240 versus 236, but the lift is higher by 0.78 mm. The GTR overlap at 125 would show a benefit from the adjustable pulleys on a RB25 (the standard cam is 117).

So I reckon changing the exhaust cam would be worthwhile because you can use an adjustable pulley to maximise the overlap, but only for a 5 to 8 rwkw gain.

Since the car is boosted, I don't believe the GTR inlet cam would show as much gain, particularly since the VVT will not function. So you might loose enough mid range to offset any top end gain you get. I would like to someone try it though, I'd be interested in the results.

As matlowth posted, you would have to use GTR valve springs with GTR cams.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

We used these cams in the RB30ET/RB25DE hybrid for 475 bhp on the engine dyno in our old GTR, so they are certainly OK at that level.

Hope that helps.

I'll be interested in the results.

Hi Sydneykid,

The RB25de Cam's that I have are VVT,(I have the complete engine sitting on my garage floor) Its a series 1 R33 RB25 DE with VVT.

I also belive from looking at the cams that any cam put into a head that is equipped with vvt would work, as the vvt only advances and retards the cam by moving the pully which is spring loaded so it moves back again. There is no shifting the cam back and forth to a different set of lobes like honda engines.

Dose this sound right?

Im going to try the N/A cam's this weekend will post results.

Regards Damqik.

Well I pulled out my cams and found no difference between them and the N/A ones (Mesured them with a micrometer).

very dissapointed, however I found out what the VVT dose.

its oil pressure feed and simply moves the intake cam pully about 2 deg when the soilnoid is powered by the ecu.

I also got my tappet covers polished whilst they are off and I painted the coil cover.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
