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?

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
