yer i read that but i belive they are just direct replacement for a rb20 as they use solid lifters ??

No they dont, you will need a solid lifter kit, and a set of camwheels(to replace the vct), probably want a set of springs at the same time also. Dont know how much gain there would be though.

depends on the model of RB25. Like Adriano said, i think VCT might be an issue. Other than that it should be like the RB20 swap, solid lifters. (SHOULD)

yer i read that but i belive they are just direct replacement for a rb20 as they use solid lifters ??

No, RB20's and 25's use hydraulic lifters. To use solid type cams you will need solid lifters due to the different ramp rates (to my understanding).

Solid type cams - Solid lifters

Hydraulic type cams - Hydralic lifters.

Stick to them rules, it's like that for a reason :wacko:

yer i know that if you have solid cam you use solid lifters dont have to be a genius

i thought that the rb20 had solid lifters... my bad

does any one know where i can get slid lifters from and i have a set of adj cam gears so i got that covered i also have new spring just being put in so that is covered to

im guesing i will have more power through the mid range ???

I put a set of GTR cams in my Series 2 rb25.

Motor didnt like it all.

spent heaps of time on the dyno trying to get it right.. but couldnt make any power... max power made was like 230hp...

threw the stock cams back in and it was heaps better...

Didnt do anything about eh VCT.. just put the cams in to see if they worked. as there was all this hype about how good they were going in RB20's

So im not sure whether there are things you can do to make them work.. but all i did was prove they are not a direct replacement :D

Why would you want to put a set of GTR cams in for ?

Keeping the VCT is the best idea. I run 270deg 8.9mm of lift in my RB25, retaining the VCT, and the engine makes over 400rwkw and redline of 8500rpm.

The only benefit of the solid lifters is you can rev higher, but most people don't need more than 8000rpm.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
