And the shenanigans begin... First monthly pay from decmil and I'm pretty sure I've just been paid my base salary with no site loading...

Thats far from ideal. I can see the two figures being very very different

SO, my afternoon and night got interesting yesterday. Was going to head out the the harry's meet cause i was bored as fark... Decided to put the front timing cover back on to make it look a bit better. Marked up the CAS and everything as normal, took it off then put it all back on as normal. Cranked it over and heard a crunch so shut it down and took it all apart again.

After a bit of probing and prodding, I found that the "half moon" nubs in the CAS and on the end of the cam must not have been lined up perfect and it snapped the one off the end of the cam.... Not an ideal situation.

After some head pondering between a mate and I we came to a resolution. We ended up being able to line up where the half moons would be and get the CAS back on in that spot then line up the original markings we made.

Put it all back together and started it up and it cranked over fine and sounded like normal. We free revved it a bit and all seemed good, next was time to take it for a drive and see what it was like under load. We started with normal driving and occasionally getting into boost, all seemed fine. We gradually started giving it more and more throttle and everything was good. Finally we did one last pull, full noise through all 5 gears and it was exactly the same as normal.

Even still I may look into a replacement cam just to be safe..

both half moons werent aligned properly and fouled on each other, however when i turned it over it was the one on the cam that decided to snap not the CAS. wish it was the CAS lol...

But yeah as i said a bit earlier there is no noticeable difference when driving the car. So "if" and thats a big "if" its out it can only a a degree or so as you cant hear or feel it.

Its aligned now. Im talking about the half moon that is on the front end of the camshaft. Like pull off the CAS and look in the whole where the centre goes in and locks into place. In there.. See google pic below

Scotty we have a car in ATM with this bit broken off

The cas is perfectly fine if you get it in the right tooth

Just get a timing light and chuck it on and make sure it's in the right spot before...... Giving it to it

It should be fine that way even with the broken half but it's completely up to you of you want to replace...... Then I buy cam :devil:

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
