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

The fiance said HKS, because its pretty.

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:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
