Well I ordered the HKS ones. Heaps more money but I think it'll be worth it.

One thing though I am not sure if they support nvcs?! The hks website seems to indicate they do, but performance wholesale say they don't....hmmm I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Hey Dude,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I saw these on the dreaded Ebay have a look....oops i just noticed you've ordered HKS

oh well its still a good price for anyone that wants them.

So i now have a 264deg intake with 9mm lift and the same for the exhaust! should be interesting... will keep you all posted...

one thing though HKS cams are much better made than Tomei. Heavier and thicker overall...just feel stronger.

ok these cams are awesome! they are not even tuned and the cars goes sooo much harder!

i am at 0.5 bar by 2500rpm and 1bar by 3000rpm. pulls so hard and gernally feels far smoother. i am going to try advancing the intake cam a little 2-3 deg just to see if this will help with the lack of NVCS.

the idle just sounds meaty and i love it!

will have to spend some time tuning now!

All in All HKS Cams are the way to go....

Yep, you definitely want the thicker chunkier camshaft. Nothing like rotational mass to make things sweet.

I hope you don't plan on revving it past 7000rpm? 9mm lift is higher than you should go on standard springs. Hope you don't snap a spring or stuff a lifter.

if anything they will be 7mm once the lobes wipe off :blush:

pretty sure the hks 9mm's are ok, provided the std springs are still ok (not gone soft like many rb25's)

Repeated high rpm will break them eventually. Anything over 8.8mm is not advised.

But yeah, like you said, should be ok but it's the same as everything else...its always when you don't think something bad is going to happen when shit really hits the fan.

sweet bro, who did your tuning...??? thats a good result for a GTRS!

Marc Jacobsen of Godzilla motorsport tuned my car. I dunno, its pulled 337rwhp on two totally different dynos. IMO, it doesnt feel that fast, but, but I may just be getting used to it.

Most GT-RS's on the forums seem to be pulling around 250ish RWKW and I would say you will definitely get there with your setup!

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
