Ok before i get flamed i have read and searched alot about Tomei cams on this site but haven't really found the answer i was looking for, im wanting advice from the people that have done cam changes and wished/changed out other parts the same time.

Ill be purchasing some cams in the next couple of weeks and i was wondering if i should replace anything else in the head whilst I'm changing them over? Seen as these motors are getting on in there time would it be ideal to change the hydraulic lifters? Obviously the o rings and the cam oil seal get replaced but would you replace anything else? I work for Nissan so getting genuine parts for cheap isn't a big deal unless people recommend aftermarket brands to be better!

Would adjustable cam gears also be a good idea too whilst changing cams?

I'm pretty much building the car and motor over a few years so time doesn't really matter. I'm looking for 300kw but on a safe tune of say 250kw i know people will say don't bother with cams with that low power spend your money else where, but I'm trying to build something a little different with as much mid range as i can get!

Atm i have:

Apexi power fc

Z32 afm

FMIC

3 inch exhaust

040

Splitfires

Garrett 2871 with a op6 rear housing that I'm going to get rebuilt and highflowed again to the specs of a 3076

Next:

Tomei pon cams 256 degree duration and 8.5mm lift both inlet and exhaust

6 Boost manifold with external gate

Nismo 555cc injectors

Adjustable cam gears?

Probally a few other things i have forgot too.

What else can get me more mid range over raw power?

Criticize my set up people and give me some feed back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Adam

I would happily drive that far also lol.

Don't bother with the cam gears or anything else. Valve springs would be the only other suggestion. Some people do them with the head still on. I just decided to take mine off and rebuild it.

I wouldn't care driving 50km in my situation atm! Just when the rentals move out next year and the mrs and i move in i know i will have bugger all money to drive 5 min down the road for fuel! Ill price up new valve springs on monday PM-R33 and compaire the difference!

Any other recomendations?

Cheers for the feed back guys.

E85 for $3 a litre for a daily driven car is pretty much pointless. Only 5% of the time im driving the car will i need the benefits of E85. CBF with drums hanging around my garage/house either lol.

Id probably pay as much as 1.50-2.00 /L if it was at the bowzer.

How much is Eflex over east?

Last time down at my servo with E85 it was $1.26/L and before fuel jumped in price bout 6-8 weeks ago id say the eflex was $1.16/L its cheap for 105ron i think??? or is it 108ron?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
