Group Buy # 4 Arospeed Adjustable Cam Gears, By Popular Demand, By Popular Demand


Recommended Posts

i paid $155 + $10 delivery?

Guys the reason why hanyou paid $155 is because i had a set returned to me that didnt fit a CA18 from the last group buy.

As for this current gb we didn't reach our target therefore the price of $185 DELIVERED.

Ill put up a list of all people invovled so you can see.

If Hanyou want's to cause me problems maybe i should charge him the full price, this is what i get for doing hanyou a favour.

sorry for the late reply on my part and for holding up the GB but i haven't had a computer for a couple of week :D

r33kid: i didnt know you were doing me a favour and by no means was i trying to say you were rorting the others. i merely stated how much i paid. if its gna cause you probs with the other members im happy to pay the difference so its fair to everyone else :P

sorry again mate.

nah hanyou you picked up a bargain...leave it as is :nyaanyaa:

R33kid: RE: PM, no dramas. I didnt know everyone else was paying that price

ok its all cool, im not here to make a profit, otherwise i would have charged hanyou the full price.

Im here to help members, and im sure i have helped many, therefore one day i will get help in return.

I think your mechanic has never installed gears before, all members have installed there's with no issues.

Do a search.

Probably posting in the wrong forum, but this may be of interest to other buyers. I've done a search, and haven't heard of anyone having problems installing the gear on the inlet cam, but this is what my mechanic wrote:

On a rb25 they have a cam advance set up on them VCT, this pulley and cam are different sizes to all other rb inlet cams and they dont make a gear to fit. The std pulley which contains the variable cam advance has an adjustment on the back which we have adjusted, You effectively have 2 vernier gears on your engine now.

Can anyone comment on this? My mechanic is well known for working on Skylines in Adelaide, so surprised that his views conflict that of skyline owners! But he is telling me he couldnt install the cam gear on the inlet cam, only the exhaust cam for the above reason. Thanks for any advice...

Could this be the answer to your problem(see below)

and as a quick reference

RB26 can have 2 wheels inlet exhaust

RB25 only needs exhaust

RB20 can have 2 inllet and exhaust.

No, i knew that RB25 only needs the exhaust for power gains, and changing the inlet cam gear will not give any additional power. But i still wanted to change the inlet for appearance, for when i put a clear cover on. And reading posts, the cam gear SHOULD have fit on the inlet side.

gears are in customs as of today, hope to have cleared in the next few days thanks

Whats the status of this GB?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
