Actually I don't have such a fund,,,Don't need one,,we either have the money or I suffer dunlops at hillclimbs,,,,I just thought I would fish and see what I reeled in.

What are you guys using for cam cap bearing studs/bolts?

the only ones i could find were tomei's. i reckon arp make them but i couldnt find an arp listing anywhere (only for porsche they list)

Same thats all i can find - but not really cheap

The last 2 engines i did used JUN and GReddy...both are suitable.

Prices for them?

Ohh god when do we need to start with after market cam cap bolts they are the only nissan thing left in my soon to be repaired engine.

Same :P

good nissan ones are ok. plus the tomei/jun/trust etc are all stud kits.

yeah nissan will be fine for that. a lot of tuners I know these days prefer to steer away from head studs in 26's unless you really need them, and it's a similar story with cam cap studs. only worth doing if you really need to. i used brand new nissan bolts on mine, but as long as yours are good just use em again.

agree...sometimes people can go a little OTT when it comes to engine hardware. They send me boxes and boxes of shiny Jap parts and ill put them in if they so desire. Ill recommend head studs to all RB's running 400kw+ but cam cap studs...the jury is still out on that one. My opinion is that they do not see much stress so bolt stretch will be minimum.

    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
