Sorry guys, so many questions..........

GT1 first , http://www.hioctaneracing.com.au/

We use them (as Performance Metalcraft) for fabrication when our team fabricator is too busy or away. They do top work.

Rev210, they have Tomei camshafts in stock. Sorry my cattledog is at work.

Inasnt, yep the Tomei Poncams are designed to work with VVT. Don't bother with an adjustable exhaust pulley they are pretty much spot on standard, spend the money on something else.

Hope I answered everbody

Rev - I think this is the mildest:

Tomei Cams 256 duration and 8.5mm lift compared to standard 240and 7.8mm lift

That's what I am putting in my car during re-build

YEs, I understand they work with the std hydro lifters - I'm not changing mine anyways - Unless the head people do that without me knowing about it.

Price - Well, I think I'm paying a bit more than normal - but I'm also getting a package deal and make up for it on other things - So you should be able to get better then $1200-1300 - Cheaper if you import yourself (But not quicker) you pay a premium for off the shelf stock on Oz......

Hi INASNT, if you mean "headwork" as in clearancing to fit the camshafts (not porting) then duration is basically irrelevant, lift is the issue. When we get the lift over 9 mm, we die grind the head to clear the lobes. Pretty simple, you can do it in the car as long as you clean up properly afterwards.

So to answer your question we have run 292 @ 9 mm without "headwork". We also have run 264 @ 10.5 mm and done headwork.

To answer the second question, based on my personal experience;

240 is standard GTST

248 is standard GTR

256 is a good mild street upgrade, go for 9 mm lift

264 is a good combo (street, track, circuit) go for 10 mm lift

272 is a good for circuit work at 10.5 mm lift

Anything more than that requires a big turbo/turbos to use it, to get the best a close ratio gearset or an auto would be my suggestion.

There are plenty of people running around with more than the above, but they don't seem to keep the car very long. They get there jollies from the doing (or the bragging) rather than the driving.

Hope that helps

Hey guys

does anyone know how a HKS step 1 (I think they're 256 whoops I meant 264) exhaust camshafts would go with the standard inlet Camshaft?

being step1 I heard they're ok for on the street, but would they work with standard inlet cams?

Also any ideas where I could get the stock exhaust Cams?

Im having no luck here in WA

I'm confused, I have seen 256, 260 and 264 described as "Step 1". Plus I have 264 described as "Step 2". So I just call them 256, 260 or 264, "Step" is a useless term.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
