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:

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
