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!

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
