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:

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
