Trying to make a choice on cam gears. Basically comes down to what colour I like.. Hmmmm... Purple HKS or blue and red TOMEI..

speak to isc and get one of each for half the price

blue for intake, red for exhaust ;D

=D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i concur :wub: :wub: :wub:

I don't really celebrate birthdays either .. just feels so weird here alone, today more-so .. still getting used to the house being since my ex left.

yeah celebrating is so 80's

Growly Custom Machining made these for CA18 not sure if he does RB ones

Bah, you're making me feel old :wub:

Next I'll be grumbling about 'bloody kids' and yelling 'get off my lawn' ...

I was going to go with Nitto cam gears simply because they listed the exact grade of their billet steel which was very high quality - the shop didnt have them in stock and i needed camgears so i went with a set of isc, which are effectively the same (5 point tension screws as opposed to 3 or 4)

why pay $600 when the ISC for $200 are just as good (if not better imho)

that said, id still go nitto if i was pulling 600+ hp but for my needs, isc is win

Do ISC cam gears work okay on all R34 Neo? Doesn't say anything on their site...

I know you have to get a specific one for NVCS:

that im not sure of

however given i have an rb26, i know the parts are a little more common than say, i 1jz... $200 for a pair of 26 camgears is a good buy - most 'name' brands double it. nitto are still cheap ($220) but they list the exact specs of their billet steel - which i like)

in either case- isc camgears have done the job for me on my rb26 so kudos to isc

I'll be using these, AL7075-T6 Billet Aluminum

they should be ok,

will be going on a stock 1997 R33 GTR. Im picking it up on monday miday

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT

once back on wednesday I will get plates/rego, and take my time to work on it.

throw in my stagea saas seat 'cause of the extra long seat rail and put the gtr seat into the stag.

10mm spaces, 50mm long gtr wheel studs, my 17x7.5 mags with brand new ku36 tyres will go on, and the stag will take the gtr wheels.

I NEED to sell the track car for what I got it for (7k with roll cage, stock rb26 engine) and will ready the stagea for sale.

new Gates racing belt, idler, etc, hks oil pump, n1 water pump, 87mm mls cometic head gasket, full nissan gasket set, arp head studs, z32 afms, apexi hardpipe intake

ati harmonic balancer, arp studs, tomei sump baffle, 555cc siemens, yellow jackets, p-fc, tuned length manifolds, hks split dump pipes, dual 3" to 3.5" front pipe

then hold onto the hks cam springs and greddy camshafts, hks pistons/rods for later.

then sell whatever is left and buy pair 2530 turbo's & some new shocks and rip skids

really excited about owning my dream car! everything is good here now, so onwards and upwards !!!! :wub:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
