ok well this has me thinking now.

will be sending the car of to get the timing belt and water pump done

would it be advisable to get adjustable cam gears on at the same time???

its for a stock S2 r33 with cat back exhaust and pod but later on im planning finishing of the exhaust with dump pipe and high flow cat and FMIC and power FC but will still be running stock turbo and most likely stock boost or at most 9-10psi max

but for now could i still install the adjustable cam gears with the current mods??

also from what iv read will only need one the exhaust side correct?

thanks

Ash

if you can get it on a dyno to see where your gains are then it would be worth it. from what i've herd the 33's on the majority benifit from having one installed and adjusted. but definantly need to see the curves to see where the right spot is.

Its a line-ball call i reckon.

Some people get gains, some people dont.

The gains, generally arent "massive" on the RB25, and i dont believe its the tuners as some people who tried (and didnt make more power) attended some well known workshops :thumbsup:

So yeah, your damned if you do... damned if you dont. But personally i wouldnt based on the 50/50 ive seen here over the years

RB26 would be a different story though :woot:

I read mixed results before I did mine.

This was the result before and afte, with a tune..with all the supporting mods.

THe result was better than expected.

old topic bumped up!

but what are the gains on adjustable cam gears on a RB20DET 32?

looking to do the same thing. Get the timing belt down as im approaching the 150, 000km mark and the 'Mechanic' advised it needs to be done.

so have a few kits i am looking at (with or without the adjustable cams) not sure which way to go?

any help would be appreciated heaps :worship:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
