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 :woot:

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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
