Hi guys,

here's issue, im booked in a Chasers to do a 100k service next Tuesday and want to do the cam gears at the same time.

i have 1 HKS intake cam gear but because of the exchange rate (don't even get me started) i cant buy the exhaust gear.

so the question is as stated, can i buy a greedy cam and run one of each?

i spoke to the guys Kudos and they said no problems but i want to make sure?

the cheapest HKS gear i can find in OZ is $275, i got my one for $160 (big difference)

i can get a greedy one for about $160

my other option is to sell my cam gear and buy 2 greedy's but itll be hard to sell it in time i think?

anyone want a NEW HKS cam gear????

If you don't tell the engine it'll never know your dark secret. So long as they are the right diameter, fit the cams, and have the right number of teeth at the right pitch they'll both work fine. So yes, they'll mix and match perfectly. Just Loctite up the adjuster screws once the timing is set, for added insurance.

sell the colourful cam gears and modify the stock ones if your worried about money.

will be half the price

ether way a gear is a gear, same thing

Cost me $15 to modify the stock ones cause i bought new bolts :)

Its only a matter of having access to a lathe

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
