hi all.

looking at a set of cams for a 34gtr motor.

they are HKS 256degree 8.7mm lift.

ive had a quick look but cant find if these are a streetable cam or more track.

they are able to go in with no mods to head,

i understand it all depense what they are paired up with in the car,

cheers

I think these cams are the smallest duration that HKS do as an upgrade.

They'd be a pretty good street cam IMO.

the duration is longer than stock and the lift is better than stock.

from my understanding the longer the duration the later the power will come on, so a 272 degree cam with same lift will come on much later and have some overlap at idle giving it a lumpy idle.

i think 8.7mm lift shouldn't be a worry for the std springs,

is there any reason why you're upgrading cams? are the stockers limiting power?

i've got a stock head and std cams and am pushing 370rwkw so the std ones are definitely good for that level, and idle and response is the best its going to be.

I agree. Why are you looking at cam upgrade. You can get over 400kw at wheels out of std engine before looking at cams.

If you are going to expense of building tough engine from bottom up then small cams waste of time. I jumped straight to

272 10.2 with first engine then 290 11.7 with next. if you are modifying you cant mess around.

Stick with turbos, fuel, etc and leave the cams till you go for it............ I ran 11.10 @127 back in 2002 on the STD engine

with bolt on 2540s and bigger injectors.

Depends what you want but make sure all parts match. 34 engine will make great power with bolt ons.

How fast do you really want to go?

Im after a legit street spec engine. I would say 300 or so at all four wpuld b nice. So say 340rears.

Will i gain much with cams, cam wheels etc? Or is the gain just small b4 the 400 mark?

Lag is an apsolute no no

I was thinking

Stock turbos with upped boost

Fuel pump

Inj

Power fc

Cams

Good turbo back zorst

No need to do intakes as i want it clean...

Dont really need much more power Wise...??

Coolere legit, stock turbos are fine for low to mid range with a decent strenght to hold a bit of pressure

leave the stock cams but get adjustable cam gears and replace the stock turbos with N1's (-7s) or -9s, the standard ones wont last at (and probably wont even make) that power.

also there wont be much if any difference between RWKW and AWKW, certainly not that much at that level

If ur talking standard r34 turbos I've seen them make 294rwkw, but were soon swapped out for 2530's so don't know exactly how long they'd last, but they won't last long at all, best turbo for 350awkw in my eyes would be 2530's. They work real nice with great response for that power on a standard 2.6l Motor

Yep 2530s are the go. Years ago I went to 2540s and they KILLED the respose and bottom end.

I've got -10s now on my 3.2L and they haul ass from right down low but would be a bit lagggy on 2.6L

For 350rwkw you should not need to touch the cams or internals at all. Agree on cam gears though.

Back in the day we went as high as 396rwkw using the std cams and std internals (of course at that power

the std internals did not last long!!!)

Yeah ok, is the 2530 a direct bolt up, and r there diff models? I no that my 2535 ive gpt on stag was a 56t or sumthing??

Has any one got results from

Power fc

Cam gears

Fuel pump

550cc ??? Inj

Airbox seems more than enough and looks nice

Then with 2530s?

Whats the point behind the hard piping cooler kits n

So on? Replacment or a mod!?:s

Excuse my lack of gtr knowledge :)

Also do 040s fit in easy? Didnt like the looks of the nismo pump at 600 on ebay lol..!

The hard pipe kit is a good upgrade over the plastic (shitty) pipes when running above stock boost.

But seriously, speak to Willall (club sponsor) who has done all the homework on these things already and has taken all the guess work out of it.

Martin will be able to point you in the right direction quickly as to what to do.....and more importantly, what not to do.

Do it once...do it right...and save a packet in the long run.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
