So I got the usual HKS cams for my car 256 intake and 264 exhaust and also got myself some adjustable cam pulleys.

Here's where my confusion is... I gave said parts to my mechanic to install and he said when he tried to put the intake cam in the bolt patterns didn't match and because I was going adjustable cam pulleys that intake cam wouldn't work.

So I said fair enough just get the cam that I do need...................

on closer inspection of the box of the new cam say rb20 264

stock code of the cam I bought is 2202-RN172 and the new one is 2202-RN174

Is this possible to do? Someone please explain to me what is happening here?!?!

:P:P guys

you have an rb20/26 inlet gear. so you need an rb20 cam. The only difference is the front end where the gear bolts up.

Shouldn't you have figured this out before buying stuff?

You're atleast in a position to do a direct comparison between a 264/264 non vct cam combo vs a 256/264 with VCT. I would expect the 256 with VCT will be the choice for drivability.

I most definitely should have figured this out before buying stuff but unfortunately just didn't come across the information so bought out of ignorance.

However after receiving the 256 inlet cam I knew I would either be keeping that and having VCT or getting a new cam to run adjustable pulleys.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. My mechanic told me it would work fine but I just like several sources and more importantly a SAU person :P

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
