Any Issues With Just Jap Cam Gears? They Are Very Cost Effective.

[gtr fan]

Hi everyone,

I am after some new cam gears and saw the just jap are a lot cheaper than jap brands. Does anyone know if quality is just as good as the imported brands or if anyone has not so good experiences with them.

Thanks.

I have no experience with the just jap ones.

my favourites at the moment are made by envy imports. for one thing they are actually made in australia (not chinese made ones like some other cheapies). plus they use a STEEL outer gear not aluminium like many other (in fact they actually buy and use the outer gear from standard cam gears) and they have machined up their own alloy centre plate and use a 5 bolt retaining system. perhaps give them a try. they will be good in that their wear resistance is OEM standard. apart from them I use and like the trust ones and the tomei ones. both good designs.

Cam gear is a cam gear to be honest.

You can get the stock ones made into adjustable if you really are that tight for cash.

Although that said, if you're being this tight over cam gears - you shouldn't have brought a GTR - they get expensive

You only need to be wary of EARLY series HKS ones (you'll only get them 2nd hand these days), they were a bit poor in metals used and wore down over time.

Thanks Beer Barron, I will get th trust ones as these seem to be a good price ATM.

Thanks nizmoid, I have had my gtr for over 6 years now so I have a fair idea of what they cost to run.

Just asking coz at $199 a pair the jj gears seem very cheap

Nothing wrong with the JJR cam gears, just switch out the hex bolts for hi-tensile versions for peace of mind.

I run the just jap ones in the race car and have never had a problem
