Well I finally got my hands on a set of Tomei Poncamshafts they are second hand and wondering if they are original as I cannot find any document to support its markings.

I figure from assumption that these are real, one because the guy is really honest and two sort of makes sense.

So the Markings are either a 115 or A2691XR which I figure "2691" stands for.. 260 duration and 9.15 lift i.e 26.91

But I wanted confirmation from someone as I know Poncams are not TOMEI stamped but PROCAMS are so making it harder.

If someone could confirm this for me please?

Cheers

physical difference you can measure is the cam gear drive on the poncams was larger than standard (we had to drill the cam gears out)

WTF??? You don't drill them out.

Were you using aftermarket gears?

and to answer the other guys question. Just measure the cam yourself and find out what lift/duration it has.

Is A2691XR stamped on the rear of the camshaft? Thats exactly what mine had.

I think if u do a search for say 2691 I think it will bring up a forsale thread where a guy has those part numbers listed on his tomei cams.

No measuring tools, and no standard shaft to measure against i.e still in engine.

R33 you nicked my sig!!!

You don't need a standard shaft.

You do need measuring tools. And just calculate the duration and lift. But anyway, have fun with your new cams

There were no marking on mine either. I was a bit shocked when we pulled them out a few months later, i was thinking the guys who originally put them in ripped me off and i was using that excuse for the 10-15rwkw we were missing before to after.

But it was all good after we measured them :P

Good to see you finally got them Nathaniel,but dont be suprised if you dont see a big difference on the dyno. The pedal and through the bum of your seat is where you will notice the difference. Not as must pedal needed to get up to certain speed ect.. I noticed the improvement more when i was driving the car off boost.

Thanks Dave, I never intended to take the car to this level (but am already looking further) any improvement will tickle a smile from my face.

Thanks for the help peoples.

Noone ever does,once the bug has bitten there is no turning back.

os giken gears, the drive on the poncams was significantly larger than the standard cams

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
