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.

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

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
