I was just looking at Tomei's site and saw that they have all their cam specs listed and alongside each cam it has "adjustable sprocket starting angle" listed. Am I correct in assuming that you 'need' to have adjustable cam gears to use their cams? If so, this would point out the problem that Bbenny and I had.

well i finally got my painted rocker covers back last night and reinstalled the std cams with adj pulleys and damn its good to have my baby back again!

the adj pulleys make a big difference, havent had it on the dyno yet, but seat of the pants change is noticable.

it also makes an extra 3psi of boost and seems like throttle response is much better.

hope to have it on the dyno and a tuned chip installed by next week. ill let you all know how it goes.

check out the cover colour... what you think?

Im just wondering if anyone has thought about the type of cams that they are getting. I have R32 GTR cams and R33 GTR Vspec cams and the lobes are different on the Vspec exhaust. Looks to be advanced a few degrees unless im a retard and reading them wrong. Also, with the AFM reading more air due to the duration of intake, the ECU would be reading it at alot higher load than what its actually at and therefore running out of the fuel/timing map sooner. Am i thinking this correctly? So why not expand the maps to read higher boost or scale down the AFM to read the "adjusted" load?

I was just wondering if anyone thought about the type of cams that they were using. I have R32 GTR and R33 GTR Vspec cams and the lobes on the exhaust Vspec are advanced a few degrees. Thats if im looking at it correctly and not thinking like a complete retard(No pun intended). Also, it seems like with the higher lift on intake its maxing out the afm quicker and therefore mis-representing the load percentage to the ECU. Am i thinking about that correctly? So, would a fix for that be to expand the stock fuel/ignition maps or even scale down the stock AFM?

Cams and cam gears are in... only thing is i need someone i Melb that has a blown RB20 that i can steal some parts off.

I need the cap for cylinder no.6 on the inlet cam...as one of the stud has siezed in the aluminium cap, i was lucky to get it unbolted from the head without snapping or seizing... :Oops:

Anyone in Melb able to help me out, or know of a friend/workshop that can help me without woth one (will need thw two stude that go with it as well.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
