Hi guys, on a 500 bhp RB engine we only get between 3 and 6 rwkw from adjusting the inlet camshaft timing, most common is 2 degrees. On the other hand adjusting the exhaust camshaft around 4 degrees gives between 15 and 18 rwkw. I really don't see adjusting the inlet camshaft timing on a VVT road engine is worth it. The car will be slower accelerating anyway because you will loose a lot more than 3 rwkw in the mid range without the VVT.

Hope that adds to the discussion

Hi guys, if I was doing another mid power upgrade on an RB25DET (mid power = max on standard internals) I would go for a set of cams designed for the hydraulic lifters and the VVT. The 2 that we have done worked out just so nice, it has to be worth the extra bucks.

For GTS-t VSPEC, yep we could use one of the outputs from the Motec to continuously adjust the VVT on the inlet camshaft. You could build a 3D map for it, based on RPM, throttle setting and boost level, it would be a bit of work, but you could do it. We would also statically adjust the exhaust camshaft timing with an adjustable pulley.

The M3 is much easier, as it has Vanos on both camshafts, so we can put them anywhere we like, independantly. The XR6 Turbo also has VVT on both camshafts, but the plurb says they move together, not independantly.

On the 2 GTT's that we have done, we used Power FC's and left the VVT staging untouched, in fact I don't remember it being accessable with the Commander. Can't wait for the datalogit guys to do one for the GTST's, open up some nice possibilities.

Hope that helps

Sidneykid.....I have the FC-Datalogit in my hot little hands right now. Software program is FC-EditRB25DET Ver 1.100. However it is a Beta version....didn't know that when I bought it

Hi Jay, I ordered a Datalogit for the R32 GTST earlier this week. I wonder if it's a beta version as well.

Hi lukits01, you asked "was wondering if anyone has any opinion on running a 256 Ex Cam shaft with the standard RB25DET VVT inlet shaft?""Will this combination work?

Yes works great, not as good as a pair but still worth doing.

"what kind of tuning is involved?"

Lots, do you have a programable ECU? If not, then buy that first.

Hope that helps

Thanks for info sydney kid

I only have a SAFCII

This idea was sorta result of impulse buying hehehe

My ex cam shaft shat itself somehow and I thought might as well get a mild upgrade

since I allready have HKS cam gear might as well finish it off

What about RB25DE inlet HKS 256 Exhaust

that would be a better combination wouldnt it?

What sort of power increase is to be expected from the exhaust cam change only?

Also is there any cams that are better suited to a ported head?? I have more power up top now with porting but at the expense of more lag.

cheers matt

Hi Boosted, I have never experienced increased lag with a ported cylinder head, did you do anything else at the same time?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
