not that I know of. RB26 always remained the same AFAIK. the way to tell was the lil buldge on the left hand side of the cam cover, I've never seen one on a RB26 even off an R34.

heh...

I think every single person (with the exception of the thread starter possibly) has mixed up Variable VALVE Timing (VVT), Variable Valve Timing and Lift (VVTL) and Variable CAM Timing (VCT)

:(

HKS do make a VCT cam kit but it is very expensive (Andrew may dig it though!) - it was priced perhaps a fair amount more than say Jun cams.

I have not seen any car with it though besides HKS's own demo car and well... that's hardly independent.

If you believe the HKS spiel, response is greatly improved.

T.

well that pic is from Option mag, the car using it is a race car in Tsukuba. Basically the whole story was on V-Cams in this R32 GTR. Not tuned by HKS, was running HKS GT2540x2 Apparently it greatly improves the response of the car out of corners etc.

Its on Page 82 Option2 issue Jan 2004

What's the difference between VCT and VVT? Does one just change the duration and the other the opening time?

BTW I made a thread about this a while back but noone could help - does Nissan make ANY engines with variable timing, duration and lift? The SR20VET is the closest I've seen, but it doesn't seem to control the duration from what I can tell.

Cheers,

Michael

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
