Hello!

Yesterday my Tomei inlet poncam broke during installation, it seems that it already had some cracks before it chopped off totally.

I´m in discussion with some sellers, and it seems that the Poncams can´t be bought separately (1 cam), so i have thoughts of buying the HKS 272dur 10.2lift step 2 cams to my engine. But ive read that there has to be som headwork done, i thought that it would be fine if i change the valvesprings to HKS ones for max. 10.2mm lifting. Is there anything more that has to be done?

I´m looking for much high end power, and here´s my engine spec. Going for bigger injectors and turbo next winter when i have finished the "break in" period for my new engine. Nearly everything is new, expext for the poncams, wich of there now more is only 1.

With a .64 housing, big cams are a waste.

The housing will restrict power, not the cams/head

Yeah but he said he is going bigger later on, you wouldnt buy cams to suit a turbo your changing soon anyway...

I have decided to go for poncams again, but i´ll buy both inlet and exhaust new. This time with the 260 degree exhaust cam, instead of the 252 which i have now to have some more high end power.

Thanks for the answers!

I have these same cams; yes, head clearances for the cam lobes needed to be adjusted (I use the HKS springs too).

Apparently there's not room for the cam to rotate without clearancing.

There are other cams with a smaller base circle but similar lift that do not need clearancing (the lobe's final rotating radius is smaller).

You probably want uprated springs with any lift over 10mm but I'm sure there are people running higher-lift cams without them.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
