so if i look from under the bonnet down between them i should see something?

its a very tight gap

but you can make it out if you look at the right angle

its on a plate, in between the turbos two housings. aka the core

Try a search. The tooth section of the cam gear wears very quickly because it is soft aluminium.

Also whilst you are arsing about with the gears change the belt & think about changing the water pump.

I think you have your wires slightly crossed, the older style of HKS cam gears were indeed prone to tooth wear, but the newer design (current model) are made from the same Duralumin alloy that the Tomei Cam Gears are made from.

Ok now i know ull say search but alot of things goes over my head.

Im about to spend a bit of cash on my GTR and im just after a little advice on wheather im doing the right thing or not and getting the best bang for my buck.

I have a GTR R33

Mods

Trust intercooler

3 1/2 Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

Just Jap front pipe

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

Blitz PODS

Oil Catch Can

Now im thinking (Ive read and have thought these sounded the best for price) of getting these

Power FC and Controller $ 796

Greddy PRofec B Spec II $ 336

HKS Cam Gears $ 324

Total $1456

Plus tune of course.

Would that all go well together??? Any thing you would change etc....

Advice would be great!

-Install a Supercharger for low RPM then the turbos kick in at the mid high RPM

OR

-Install a NOS Kit

:banana::):(

Just get the boost controller and Power FC controller and/or upgrade the flywheel.

Yeah sorry old info I guess. I saw some over the weekend advertised as duralium.

So I guess they have fixed it.

Million dollar quesrion: How do you pick the difference between the two?

Bought some Tomei cam gears

You need to focus on fuel before you throw money away on things like cam gears. If you really do have N1 turbos and you buy a PowerFC you're going to have your injectors maxed out before you will make much power.

Fuel is the pre-requisite to making power and should be your objective before things like cam gears. Injectors and a fuel pump.

I use SARD injectors and Nismo fuel pumps and recommend them.

Correct about the stock inj...they will be fine for the power you are looking at making. Might be worth getting them flow tested though.

Go the PFC...cam gears....boost control....K&N filter and you should see 250kw at the wheels at around 14-15psi. Just make sure you do indeed have steel wheeled turbos :D

Thanks mate...

Does anyone know are cam gears a defect in SA?

Just got the tomei ones and they look to nice to be hidden, so was thinking a clear cam cover but if there a defect ill keep them hidden... lol

Where do ou get the profec b for 336?

Also you should upgrade your fuel reg. To an adjustable nismo fuel reg one that replaces the oem one so u dont have to max out your injector cylce and u can bump the fuel rail pressure up so it is all safe. There only $200 buks too from memory mate. :wave:

also from memory it possible to make 300kw or close to on n1's with power fc, full exhaust dumps to rear, boost controller, fuel reg, maybe new fuel pump just be safe, small cams + cam gears and bigger front mount BUT most of all it depends on tune and conditon of engine and n1's mate :wave:

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
