Incase anyones interested...heres some pics on what needs to be done to an RB26 headto fit large lift cams.....some people diegrind them in the car...but this is how is should be done....
Is that you're engine you're workin on? If so o0o0o0o... And you need a shave :D

oh and thanks compnerd...i am shimming it up tommow....no bucket change providing i can get the shims in the right size...they look like the old kawasaki motorbike shims so i should have a large range available between these and the nissan ones

think you need to break it down to simpler terms than that lol...

did you end up fitting all those other parts you had before all this or you gonna do it all in one shot?

Hi ylwgtr2, I am confused. If the standard GTR camshaft is what, 8.2 mm lift and you are fitting cams to suite a pair of 2530's, so you would not be using much more than say 10 mm lift. It looks like you removed a lot more than 1.8 mm. Plus camshaft lobes are around 20 mm across, how do you get a 20 mm flat using a tapered and round drill bit?

Or am looking at this all wrong?

spot on sydneykid...its 10mm lift...but i have removed a bit more than i needed...better to be safe than sorry....i didnt want to take the head out of the mill to find that i need to do it all again! ...the bit i used was the same size as the factory used on the original machining

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
