cams are great

BUT, if you do go down this route, grab matching spring lifters, and have the head fitted with new valve stem seats and seals, valve head guides

port and machine the head for optimal enhanced flow

with the new tomei springs, poncams, new ported/flowed head... you'll love the difference.

but then again afterwards you'll be leaning towards turbocharging your n/a r34

:P

Thanks soo they would be ok like 9.25 lift?

I think I'm going to do it.

With emanage ultimate tuned, 2.5" cat back, high flow cat, turbo injectors, turbo fuel pump and regulator, cams and valve springs.

I think I should make decent power!

I'll keep you guys updated =]

when buying new cams, the "stage" or "type" is just a marketing term. research and find out what would be best suited for what you intend on doing with the car

im guessing your putting it in a rb25?

machine work isnt really needed but recomended to take the cylinder head in to a reconditioner and get them to do a vacuum test pressure test surface grind and change valve stem seals

also get them to check that the standard valve springs will suit the cam or you may need to replace them

since the rb25 is hydrualic you wont need to do anything with the lifters, unless you convert it to solid shim lifter which the clearances will have to be set

spring base washers (or as some people call the spring seats but they are just washers) dont need replacing

guides dont need to be changed unless they have wear, if the reconditioner says they cant find the guides if they are needed, tell them to get 24 x rb26 intake guides

porting, decking, chamber matching/ grinding all extras depending on what your chasing

if you want to turbo it later all you have to do is adjust the intake cam and exhaust cam seperation and it will suit a turbo

hope that helped

the rb25 neo runs solid lifters from factory like the rb26's

The tomie type B are 260 duration by 9.15mm and are designed as a "drop in" cam so you wont need machining to fit the cams. Springs would be a nice addition if you're planning on reving the thing (which i hope you are otherwise theres no point getting the cams haha)

fair enough, (still learning myself)

though since its a shim setup you might need to check the base circle of the cam to the top of the bucket

thanks mate!

And yer I do plan on reving it as high as I can go.

Ahhahaha

so springs have been in my mind but it's the money that gets in my way.

The cams are bought by the way...

Just waiting for them to come!

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
