NA cam is fine for turbo, but a turbo cam isnt for NA

$150 is very good price out of the US, I wish i knew that before i paid $350 for this one!

Will set aside the electrics and update later...

so friggin hot here 35 deg, need more hydration!

FWIW! Be very careful what you buy overseas. Have to be very certain the cam you get is a genuine Nissan core. I have a cam that is an C cam, the so called 260Z works competition cam and was guaranteed it was a genuine core, but it wasn't and it arrived in 2 pieces.

That being said, I have a fairly wild cam here out of a 280ZX turbo on a genuine blank & have a 270 on it's way, along with new lash pads and recond rockers and new rocker springs. I'm going to use the 270 first as the other is 292 and that's going away for a rainy day.

You guys should take a step back and think really hard what your plans are for your car, because the end use will determin the cam and everything else you buy. Horsepower isn't the bees knees of everything, you need torque to create the initial inertia to get the beast rolling and the more of this you have, the better your car will perform.

Cheers, D

I think it is designed to be an N/A cam but apparently also works well with turbos. Got new lashpads and was told the same rocker arms would work

Located in Canberra mate . Cheers for the offers guys but I have already sourced the L20ET turbo setup from a bloke who used to rally Datsuns. Probably be a few months before I actually get going on the turbo work though.

Suppose no-one has a Microtech MT-4 laying around that they are willing to sell?

;)

Also, anyone know of anywhere that does cheapish resprays around canberra?

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
