Hi Guys,

I want to put adjustable Cam Gears on my R34 GTT as I have Tomei Type B's Cams installed. The VCT (NVCS) is not been used. The Exhaust Side fits on no problems but the Intake side does not. The Intake side can be bolted up to the Cam Disc that sits in front of the Cam Gear but the hole on the Cam Gear that sits in the Cam is too big.

I did a 30 minute search on the forums and have found nothing, I have tried searching everywhere for an adjustable Cam Gear that fits on with no success. There has to be people who have installed Adjustable Cam Gears in their 34's.

Can anyone help me with this? Shed some light on any products or what type of setups they have.

i was under the impression that Rb25 guys didn't do cam gears that much as it doesn't make the difference it does like on the Rb26's?

and if they do, i think they only do one side (exhaust?) and leave the rest - why would you not want your VCT? would that not be more beneficial than cam gears? i think that may have something to do with neo people not changing them perhaps, and you not being able to find anything in search results

in all my years of GTT ownership, cam gears didn't once come up in discussions with my tuner or other people - but then again, i was running standard camshafts, maybes that's why

Hi Guys,

I really appreciate your input and as from checking out many tunes. I am just going to leave the stock cams gears in. I find the VCT pretty much useless, it's only on the Inlet side + you don't see GTR's with a system like this. And for good reason.

How did you conclude that the VCT is useless ( stupid Nissan wasting money?)

Have you done a dyno run with it switched on and then with it disabled and compared the charts?

Sorry dude but you will never beat the low/mid range of the VCT, it's simply impossible.

RB26's didn't come with VCT simply because it was not an option - not for good reason.

Think about why people are using RB25NEO heads on 26 bottom ends, HKS V-Cam, jaycar style VCT controllers setups etc etc

VCT is king. End of story. If it's not working for you then you have underlying issues causing these gains not to be realised.

Hey guys,

Thanks for posting the graphs up. The low to mid range is a big improvement with VCT. I did eventually find a set of cams that will keep the VCT. There from Greddy and cost a fortune but are well worth it :)

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
