when i asked in the n/a part i was asked "why i wanted to make my car into a racecar" because i want bigger cams

Dont listen to them. Cams are a personal thing some people love big cams, some people hate 'em. If you like the sound of an engine with bigger cams in it, then for an n/a engine with the mods your car alrady has on it, cams and tuning to suit are a logical step.

^^ agreed

its just proving a little hard too find cams to go in the r34 non turbo at the moment all i can seem to find is the ones for turbo.

Im not 100% sure on this but you might find your best bet is to go with r33 rb25det cams, and change the cam angle sensor drive in the front of the cam to suit your r34 cam angle sensor. Im pretty sure r34 turbo are solid cam, where as non turbo is hydraulic, so for simplicity if you stay with hydraulic cams from other rb25 engines, other than the cam angle sensor i think they should fit straight in (any one feel free to tell me if i've over looked something else). Im not sure what the assembled height of the valve spring on the non turbo neo is like compared to the turbo rb25, i wouldn't think it could possibly be any worse, so valve springs should to be able to be sorted one way or another.

If you add adjustable cam wheels, then the fact that they are "turbo cams" really should not matter, as long as the lift and duration are relatively larger than standard. Whoever tunes the car will be able to adjust the lobe seperation to suit n/a application with the cam wheels. For all intents and purposes, lobe seperation is the biggest difference between n/a cams and turbo cams, so with adjustable cam wheels, this is not such an issue.

Hope that helps, but like i said dont quote me on this. Im going on memory for all of it, and i may have overlooked something. But it would be a good place to start

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
