I looked in to this when i first bought my 34GT . From memory, simply put - by replacing your exhaust side cam gear with the GTT or aftermarket one, you can acheive a good power gain. Not 100% on the settings as to retard or advance it, depends on the driver's preferences really. Look forward to hearing from more people's experiences...I never went ahead with mine, still got the cam gear sitting on my desk!

They should be fine. Again, to retain your VCT, you should leave the intake cam gear untouched and replace only the exhaust side. I havn't had enough experience with them to recommend anything, but I'm sure there's someone in the N/A section who can clarify.

Tomei pon cams to suit the neo head will drop into the NA neo head. These cams are designed to retain VCT so you only put an adjustable gear on the exhaust side for tuning.

The stock cams between the turbo and na neo heads have the same duration and lift (according to tomei), so if you mean switching to "turbo cams", make sure they are aftermarket neo cams.

They'll fit but they are less aggressive than the NA cams so very little point.

Usually the reverse is done, people usually fit the NA cams into turbo motor

that is what i thought. i know that guys with turbo SR20s often put in the NA cams as a cheap, basic upgrade

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
