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:

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
