From memory, the factory cams have different specs (duration, lobe centre angle). Not all that different, but different - probably as Nissan refined the engine. They should be interchangeable.

I have a 32 motor with tomei cams currently and a 34 motor on its way. the 34 motor has hks cams in it now..

just thinking can i use my current 32 cams in the 34 motor as they go well with the turbos now, or can i start selling my 32 parts off to cover costs.

:teehee:

I was under the impression the 34s had a different key location or something and hence couldn't be used?

bingo. snowy got it.

but, andrew. if you are using your 32 cas (i assume you will be), then using your 32 cams wont be a problem.

Very confusious!!

Ahh thanks richard, i thought something like that. tho nengun quote same part numbers for cams from 32, 33 and 34. tho i am sure i have seen they need to be seperate..

i think i will hang onto my cams and cas untill i know exactly what i am getting. will try get some more photos of it before its in the container.

it's simple. forget the engine. there are only 2 things that matter. CAS and CAMs.

32 CAS=32 CAM

34 CAS=34 CAM

haha i wrote the confusious after reading snowys!

you made it clear. i am bit busy at work and typing slowly :D

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
