Just got a phone call from the guys at Boost Magazine, I entered a competition at Compak Attak by subscribing to Boost magazine for a set of Kelford Cams and I won!

Woohoo!!

Details of the cams that are available to me are here..

I think I will be going with the 264 with 9.35 lift because the engine only turns to 7300rpm MAX and has stock balancer and a N1 oil pump, or should I go 270's??

So cheers to the guys at Kelford Cams & Boost Magazine, my car is finally going to get some cams. Will do some install pics and before after Dyno Sheets to send back to kelford for feedback.

yeh we have 264 and 272 also...Works well.

Congratulations mate...I bet you feel awesome! Nothing quite like winning shit...especially car stuff and ontop of that real performance car stuff!!! Fark im jealous now!

cheers ppl.

I am going to stick with the 264's. I do not rev this car so the smaller the better.

I was going to race the car this weekend but I will put it on hold untill the cams are in!

I aint sure I even needed the extra power but this is going to be a great test!

how much difference would the 270's to the 264's be

seeing that the lift is the same then it would be just change the revs where the power cuts in. I need the power to cut in as soon as possible.

Unsure if you have modified the inlet yet but with a nice exhaust manifold and inlet manifold mid 260's make their peak power around 7000rpm.

Look at Al's RB30det for example, nice inlet and exhaust mani with baby 256 cams but that too also holds well to 8000rpm and with some absolutely ripping mid range.

Mine with 265's idles baby smooth but if slightly leaned out on idle it will start to cam over 'slightly'. So tune it slightly lean on idle and then enable the o2 to pull it in when you want it to idle smooth. :D

Mine went from ~14degree's on 17psi to ~20-21degree's at peak power and made an extra ~30rwkw on pump.

Went from nosing over after it made peak power at 6000rpm to holding power flat for an extra almost 1500rpm, when tweaked with gears peak power is up 500rpm and still holds just as well with no loss in power to 7500rpm (my limiter is also at 7300rpm as Im still running the factory balancer)

The ramp rate on my 265's are a little more aggressive that the grind you will be getting

Mine have 227.9 degree's at 1mm vs 216degree's at 1mm for yours so mine run a ramp rate similar to their 270degree grind.

hrmm.. In stating that I'd almost be inclined to run the 270's. ;)

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
