I'm running 272deg 9mm lift camtech cams with a GTX3076r. 300rwkw on 15psi. High quality parts, no complaints here what soever. No VCT here. Can't recall if the 268degs were out with VCT support when I bought mine or not.

bottom to mid is what will be affected by vct. interested to know...

Reflector: post up a dyno graph if you have one

This is without the cams degree'd (currently doing it now - Cars off the road).

Running 14-15psi through an Apexi-AVCR however we're ditching that as the boost controller in the future and using the Link G4 to control the boost. Going to put 18psi through mid range and bleed off to 15psi. Once I get some spare dollars I'll rebuild the bottom end and then the fun begins. In regards to driveability, it's a kitten down low, drives perfectly, put your foot down and it's a lot of fun - need some stickier tyres haha ;). This set up was built with 1/4 mile in mind as well. We had to put limitations (cuts) at redline (7500rpm) as it wanted to keep making power above and beyond but with a stock bottom end, there's not point pushing it.

Thats a nice linear power curve. Looks like mine. We hadto put limitations aswell on my car (7650) for some reason the power doesnt taper off. Never opened up my engine after buying it off a member here so im unsure if the heads had some sexying up or what. I can drive mine all day when cruising but when she's open everybody hears it

Thanks man. I copped a lot of negative responses when stating I wanted to ditch VCT. In all honesty, I'd be interested to see the difference with the same set up with VCT enabled (guess smaller inlet cam with VCT support) but these RB engines really perform beautifully from 3000rpm onwards. It all depends on what your goals are.

Question is, what are you hoping to achieve? More response, more low down torque, more top end power? What other supporting mods do you currently have?

Camtech are a good choice regardless, great customer service and their products are high quality.

Well currently im making 300kw. Tomei fuel pump greddy plenum 3076 .82 with a tial 44mm gate straight through 3 inch exhaust power fc. The usual stuff. Im putting hks 256/264 cams with a hks ex cam gear. Tomei springs. Nismo 740cc injectors. Nismo thermostat. Nismo reg. Iv recently just finished my 044 and surge tank setup. Just spoke to the guy who's tuning it. Im upping the boost to 20 to 22psi. Aiming for 330 plus kw. I use the car for drift and street driving. But I want to break into the 11s and run a 120mph pass. So basically my car will be an all rounder.

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
