i wouldn't bother with doing poncams it will eventually destroy your bottom end they are good for power but only if you are looking for big numbers and require taking the engine apart, also dont bother getting 1000cc injectors again only needed for big power aplications 250rwkw is a big number and very streetable and you would only need 550cc injectors for that and they sell for about 600 a set.

Have a look in the traders section for mechanical parts (dont buy them second hand your asking for trouble) and you should be able to pick up a profec b and power fc from someone pretty cheap just look around

My 2 cents :(

lucky its worth 2 cents, cams will not destroy your motor...

sorry guys i was going to do this myself so i asked my mate who is a mechanical engineer and has been working on engines his whole life and he advised me against it as he thinks they can eventually destroy the motor

EDIT

sorry guys miss i miss understood what he said, he said that it will destroy bottom end power not the bottom end whoops :D

this is what he meant

Cams won't destroy the bottom end of the engine, they will destroy the low end power. Its fairly complicated how it occurs. But basically a high lift camshaft will allow air a larger gap for air to get into the engine. This means that the velocity of the air entering the engine will be lower. If the velocity becomes too low, it reduces the turbulence of the airstream and the atomised fuel begins to condense into droplets. These droplets will lead to poor combustion as liquids don't burn. During combustion these fuel droplets are evaporated by the heat of combustion, all of the energy that goes into evaporating these droplets is no longer available for pushing the piston down. This is also why your fuel economy will get worse, as more fuel will need to be injected to get the same amount of easily ignited atomised fuel. However the aspect of a lumpy cam that has the greatest effect on low end power is the duration (how long the valves are held open for). There are a number of factors that cause this, but the easiest to explain, and probably the biggest contributor to a loss of low end power is the fact that a long duration camshaft will hold the inlet valve open longer. A long duration camshaft will hold the inlet valve open a considerable amount of time after bottom dead centre. At high rpm the inlet gasses are moving so fast that they have a considerable amount of momentum. Holding the inlet valve open past BDC takes advantage of this momentum allowing more air into the engine (air continues to flow into the engine even fter the piston has begun to travel upwards). However at low rpm the air has much less momentum, and consequently some air can actually be forced back out of the engine before the valve is shut. A similar thing occurs in the exhaust, except that the exhaust gasses are let out too

early. There is also the possibility of inlet gasses being sucked out the exhaust during the valve overlap period.

not confussing at all

Oh I see...

The thought of cams cracking the crank case seem utterly ludicrous... I was about to call greylands ffs....

But all is gud now! :P

Blitz thunder bahaha

funds DID permit but now i've run into a bit of financial strife...

a few things can happen in the position i'm in at the moment...

car doesn't sell = cosmetic plans first... ie;

FULL URAS kit so that means new Front Bar, Side Skirts, Rear Bar WITH Vented Bonnet in black and boot in black... no wing and new rims...

then i'll move onto the FMIC and PowerFC and Fuel Pump...

Injectors and Turbo can come later...

i'll be doing the interior before i do the turbo and injectors...

if i DO sell then i have two options... ie;

buy my brothers TME... if he's sold that then i might have to go the Blitz 4 door Thunder and it WILL be manual turbo

i want the decals and all, man that car makes me melt

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
