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:

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
