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

The HKS cams I had did not have HKS stamped on them and now my TOMEI cams also don;t have any branding stamped on them.

Ahhhh you serious? Did they have the concaved bit between the lobes?? (like in my pic) What car were they for??

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.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
