Hey all, I bought some HKS 264 cams (2nd hand) for my rb25det and they arrived today. Now they came in their box's with original instructions etc. I have looked over both cams ten times and I cant find a HKS stamp ANYWHERE. This to me seems wierd for such a big branded camshaft to have nothing written on it. One camshaft has U2 stamped on it one has U3. Can anyone tell me if they had the same camshafts or how to tell if they are indeed aftermarked HKS cams??

Call the dude and ask him, atleast the HKS ones have markings so you know, with the Tomei ones they dont have shit, so you put them in hoping you have the right ones.

Here's a question for you, on the stock camhafts, near the cam gears, you can put a spanner on it. On the HKS ones you can do the same thing half way down, the stock ones have nothing. Do yours have these?

Nope mine have nothing like that...its at the end where the cam gear is....and the part of the shaft in between the lobes (where your hks is printed) is concaved on one side all the way down....whereas yours looks solid

Ive just searched two different forums and they both said Genuine HKS cams will have HKS stamped on them. Who can confirm this? Im pretty sure theyd have something on them being such a massive Brand. One camshaft should say HKS and one should say 264 apparently.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
