Does your car run out of puff at 7g because of the Standard cams? Or are the -5's big enoug to give you power all the way to 8g.

No, it still pulls but I just dont seem to need to go much more before changing gears, with the -10s and cams it was ideal to gear down to 2nd gear at 100kph (has PPG gear set) and take it to around 8500rpm before hitting 3rd.

Now at 100kph it feels better to gear down to 3rd gear were it pulls hard and smooth, less work on engine.

^ missed earlier post... Stock cams, -5s... I went to 8,500rpm day in, day out too. Didn't nose over heavily.

My dyno reading only showed up to 7200rpm , I noticed a slight drop just after 7150rpm.

Got 8500rpm no problem, just pulls nice changing from 7

but was it still making power......more rev's don't show power. The only time you should need an over rev is if your gear ratio's are set up wrong for the track.

But you already knew that because your no simpleton aye!!!

anyone know what max lift is on stock 26 head?

With a reduced base circle, I had jun 264 9.7mm, fit in the stock head. This would be close to the maximum lift before relieving was required.

Anyone know of larger lift cams to fit stock head?

Sorry to hijack this thread.

I am in a similar situation with TS, and I was recommended the Type A cams instead of the Type R cams.

Anyone has any experience with the Type A cams.

I'll be running on 87mm custom pistons and conrod with HKS GTss turbos.

I am also looking for low-mid range performance as it is more suitable for my usage.

Thanks.

I've seen on my 34 the difference from going to type Rs from type Bs and it was a fair bit, same peak power but every thing happened 800 rpm sooner give or take

Type A's have a 256 degree exhaust IIRC.

Want low end? Type R's.

Make sure you post a graph !

I'll try to remember!!

I was looking at rhdjapan and I saw that they have a package for the poncams with adjustable cam pulleys.

funny thing is, the so-called special package is more expensive if I were to buy the cams and cams puley seperately. wonder why they calling it a special package ....

I am now using the oem cam pulleys. so should i be getting the adjustable cam pulleys too? what's the benefit other than the ease to adjust and the lighter weight?

Thanks

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I am in a very similar situation.

Has anyone had any experience or know of anyone who has used adjustable cam gears on aftermarket cams?

I am also looking at a cam change on my car but am in two minds about whether to have a shot at dialing in the existing Tomei cams (Type B) or just ditching them and going back to stock and dial those in instead.

The challenge I have is that the HKS2530's I am running are a bit laggy and, short of going -5's, I need to do something to bring my torque back down the rev range and bring boost on a little earlier.

I can see three options for me...

1) Keep Type B cams but install adjustable cam gears

2) Go Type R cams and adjustable cam gears

3) Go stock cams and adjustable cam gears

Thoughts?

I will post up a dyno graph of my existing set up tomorrow.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
