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.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
