yea, my bro and i bought a S2 half cut, he wanted the motor and wiring i wanted the conv kit. I changed bell housing too to R33 so i could use push type clutch rather the pull type. Only thing it didn't come with was handbreak and console which a mate who is an jap part importer over here in WA sourced for me brand new from nissan japan so she if 100% genuine. Am using S2 dash too so i dont have A/T lights and icon either. have all the console part numbers too if anyone requires them.

I just have (33 gtst cams) but can't compare because I changed other things as well. While we haven't had the cams degreed, my tuner and I reckon the stagea has milder cams than the 33 gtst - stageas always make less power on the dyno with the same mods.

haha no co-incidence here then, Mark is doing my stagea at the moment - hopefully you saw it there with no motor in :P

the stagea comes up a good 30kw lower than an equivalent gtst time after time. and standard gtst cams are worth basically nothing. I reckon someone with standard cams could test back to back with gtst ones even easier than getting a set measured up

what CAS is he using as mine is a S1 (R33 series motor) but runs a R34 series CAS (plastic cover) which has a different drive on it? also 33 use hydraulic and 34 use solid cams so which ever way i go i need to put 33 CAS on car.

Duncan did ou change to R33 CAS when ou put the GTST cams in it?

good question - its all going together now. I've got the 34 CAS too, so I think he will use the 34 head to save stuffing around rewiring the CAS.

Do all stageas run the 34 CAS, I thought it might be another "special" bit that the late S1 cars like mine got.

I run Tomei 256/256 poncams, with 8.8mm Tomei springs, and an adjustable cam gear pulley wheel.

Tomei have the poncams to suit depending on the year/month build of your engine.

Tune is happening right now, new GT30 bbiw turbo, p/up tomorrow morning well into the mid-200's I hope

yea metal CAS is R33 series, so to do cam upgrade on S1 with R33 series engine (non neo) with plastic R34 CAS you will need to change to R33 METAL CAS as drive on end of CAS is differnent, I have been told the wiring is different on them so you will need to speak to a mech or good tuner for more details.

PS nice cam cover Tangles

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
