Hi all,

Further to the successful WA "group" buy of cam gears from a Japanese supplier in the past, I thought I might test the waters to see if those people who missed out last time would like to create another one. I'm looking at purchasing an exhaust cam gear anyway so if I can save myself and other people a few dollars with a group buy, I may as well try and get one happening. I haven't spoken with the supplier yet but the Trust gears as advertised at 13,300 yen + shipping. I think from memory Adrian managed to get this down to 12,500 + shipping which worked out to be about $200 each landed.

Long story short, if you are interested in a group buy, let me know!

Cheers!

Dave:D

BTW: I'm posting this as WA only as it will work out better on the shipping (where the real savings lie in group buys)

I would highly recommend editing the "supplier's" name from the first post.

for obvious reasons he's a bit camera/fame shy, at least on bulletin boards.

count me in on one rb25det r33 exhaust wheel.

john - small gains in actual power (5 to 10 kw), but it does enable some shifting of the power curve towards the lower revs. which improves driveability.

also makes a huge difference if you have cams, apparently.

most of the guys last time put them in themselves, but I think you might need to ask someone with a dyno to adjust it for you properly.

Strichline I can't help but noticing that i think your avatar was modified in Photoshop to put a bit of white smoke in ??

I do rememeber when racing you at the plex that you drove around the skid pad :bahaha: :bahaha:

Only 32's can produce the real thing :P

Steve-SST:

Curious as to why you've chosen to stock US made gears rather than the proven Jap gears, especially considering it's a japanese engine. I would think convincing people away from the "brand name" japanese items would be harder than simply stocking them in the first place. Saying that, I think the Wolf 3D system you sell is a sign of changing times away from the once "only true choice" being the Power FC.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
