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.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
