mick, [i could be mistaken?] but to run Step 2 Cams, I think there's alot more involved and may require head work for clearances etc etc... I'm not sure exactly what your after & what you plan on doing, however I dd go down this path myself for my internally stock GTR, and I found that generally, everyone seems to go for the Tomei 256's with a 9.1 lift on either side or a 256 & 260~.. Anything bigger and I think you start to loose alot of bottom end. Someone please confirm???

mickr32gtr,

There are reasonable gains to be had from the higher (9.2mm) lift 260deg Tomei shafts. 15-20rwkw or so up on the stockers.

The camshaft swap including tune should be around $800-$900 with the cams costing about $800 pair (greenline/nengun). The head need not be removed.

Still reckon best bang-for-buck for similar money would be a pair of used N1 (or equivalent) terbs.

For around $1,500, you'll get a lot more gain for your $$$. Especially given that you already have the PFC fitted.

Fit the cams later when you hunger for more power intensifies (and it will - trust me!)

I'd love to install N1 turbos but where do you find them?

just got my set of N1's installed. found them on the forums. they set me back approx $3500+ which includes N1's, installation and tune. made 283rwkw @ 20psi.

max power from a set of N1's are apparently 300rwkw

previous mods were Z32's, cam gears, pfc, trust cat back, bigger in-tank fuel pump @ 1 bar making 210rwkw

i would also recommend going the bigger turbo route if you can afford it. the difference in power is amazing.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
