LOL. You're a jerk!

You deserve a chin shot for that!

Got your brakes yet farken?

Haha! Aaaw.. Now don't be like that.

Mmm... Brakes.. Nah they'll be a couple of weeks away yet apparently.

No rush seeing as mine is "Parked" like Yours anyway...!

Still sitting in the corner thinking about what it's done?

Have sticky beak!

Here is an interesting little comparison.

On the left we have a Tomei procam which was in my old head. The profile was 270 @ 10.25mm. On the left we have a JUN 264 @ 10.5mm. The shape is quite a bit different.

.... I don't know if that coating is going to last Paul. I mean look at it...

But ah... I don't want to burst your bubble or anything...

GOLD !!

Jun looks more rounded and not as peaky, keeps the valve open longer

Tomei is perky and the Jun is nice and full (using the analogy of Edgar Brits)

Marko that last line of yours sound more like spruiking at a Japanese whore house !!

Except the tomei is the one on the left and is the one that more rounded due to more duration

You would think that. I had a 260 @ 9.15 poncam there too and it looked the same at the 270 (As in the big fat round nose) . Should have put that in the photo too. I'll do that when i'm out there next. Very interesting.

What I did notice just by running your finger over the lobe, the JUN has a 'bump' where the 'start of duration' starts. ALOT more pronounced than the procam. It obviously ramps open alot faster/harder than the tomei.

Dammit I just re read my post. The JUN is on the right. What a bloody noob!

Well mate I demand a back to back comparison. That's the only way to be sure. Plus you'll be doing the GTR community a great service - which I know will make you warm and fuzzy.

Tomei first? :)

haha. There will be a back to back. "that" project is humming along quite nicely ;).

The Tomei's are Ratshit. I spose thats what happens when they weld themselves to the cam caps. They can't be reused and will be cut up at some point for 'the project'.

Haha! Aaaw.. Now don't be like that.

Got forbid all three of our cars were to be on the road at once lol

No doubt it's something to do with the balance of nature... Law of the jungle.. To prevent the earth spinning backwards if all 3 of us launch in 3rd at the same time...

... Or, I just keep breaking shit.

It's one of those two I reckon... : P

I was out there again today watching a mates SR getting tuned. I pulled out the cams to compare to the "260 @ 9.15's" to the rest from the other night.

Again from the left are the Tomei 270 @ 10.25, middle is JUN 264 @ 10.5 and right is Tomei 260 @ 9.15.

The JUN's are definately more "triangle" than the Tomei's in both "Procam or Poncam". Yavuz is going to map the lift VS duration and lay it out on a piece of paper. I'd like to do a set of standard cams just for shits and giggles. I'm sure I have a set laying around somewhere.

So I would have thought that the Tomei profile would be preferred at first glance.

I know there is a lot more to it, but with the Tomei being more 'square' than than the JUN 'triangle' it's going to have more area under the curve. So the valve must accelerate faster on the opening and be 'more open' for longer, no?

In theory if you could open the valve almost instantly and keep it fully open for its given duration then that would be ideal, the Tomei looks closer to this.

I had the same assumption. I asked Yavuz about this and he waffle quite technical. As I said, he is going to measure the profile and have it on a piece of paper so we can see it on a graph. He was saying the more 'triangular or pointy' it is the better.... But also the harder it is on valve train. Pfft. Harder.

If the 'sponge bob' cams are anything to go by, they will be ALOT more aggressive than this. ;)

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
