I thought i'd post here instead of start a new topic.

i'm thinking of asking santa (mum) for cam gears for christmas, as it's the only thing that's cheap enough. Just acouple of questions.

are there any diference in the brands? from what i've read it's sfa.

and is it a worthwhile mod with stocker cams? (the dyno pic dosn't seem to be working)

my mods are:

Power FC

3" cat back

big FMIC

13psi boost

i'm planning to get new turbos, cams, and those trust dumps when i get some more $$ next year.

I thought it would be worth asking for as it will save me ~$350, and will go with future mods.

Thanks

I'd be doing dumps before anything.

on an RB26 i would do the cam gears before dumps. a really nice set of dumps costs around $1000, and cost a fair whack of labour (or time) to fit.

personally i like the greddy cam gears, but they are all much of a muchness. there are really decent gains to be had on a lightly tuned RB26 with stock cams and adjustable cam gears. i gained 30kw at the wheels from cam gear tuning (both inlet and exhaust).

on the question of cams and cam gears, my mate had Poncams (IN/EX) and cam gears fitted to his car however the cam gear for the Inlet could not be fitted. I told him it may be because the Poncam's like to rely on the NVCS solinoid, therefore the cam gears can't physically fit on due to a different bolt spacing or what ever?...... is this whats going on?

    • 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.
