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?

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
