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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
