i wouldnt be so sure about that mate, why do you think torque settings are spceified....

i actually was measuring with a micrometer today to see if the cams were bent at all (these are the ones i bought from BBenny) and it turns out that there is a very very small deviation on both cams of 0.09mm on the exahust cam and 0.06mm on the inlet cam. And i could just press slightly with my finger right in the middle and actually change it by 0.10mm. So you can imagine how much it would affect it if you tightend just one of the bolts too much.

The other interesting thing i found was that the lift in the inlet cam was actually 8.9mm not 8.5mm as seen on other threads. The exhaust cam was actually 8.5mm as previously described.

Not sure if I agree with that. If everything is set up correcly I would think the only affect of overtightening the bolts would be some local distortion of the cap and head. Wouldnt it have to be massively overtightened for this to occur?

sorry i disgree.....It would make no diffrence....if you want to see if the cams are bent....you should be using a dial indicator

yea u have the r32 gtr cams ..they have more lift on the inlet side ..as per the tomei standard camshaft spec list ..http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogu...haft-specs.html

edit: sorry my bad .. i'm sure that list said otherwise.. unless its been changed recently

Roy, when you did ur cam swap did you use a torque wrench and set it according to RB26 or RB20 specs?

Ill be trying the swap next w.end so we'll see how it goes...

Again, I will be following this thread with great interest as you swap out your cams as I am desperately wanting to know if its a go or a no go as I need to do my timing belt and thought I may aswell do it at the same time.

I think there are a few things that you need to be sure of to attempt this, judging by everyones experience - correct me if I am wrong :(

1) - straight cams

2) - correct tensioing of the cam caps

3) - nice new'ish timing belt that won't slip, prefferably a new belt

From everyone's experience, if all that is right, then correct installation should be no problem

Mine are on hold, injectors and PFC are next, then exhaust manifold and cams, maybe headwork......... where to stop :P

For all those interested i have some R33 GTR cams arriving tommorrow and when i get a chance ill be putting those into my gts4. Not running std ecu through (have a link) but will let everyone know how i get on and if theres any probs (fingers crossed it works well )

I think the general thinking is they are all pretty much the same with minimal differances?

Sydneykid would be the best bet to answer this, as from memory he has seen cars with 32,33 and 34 GTR cams installed

"I" didn't install them, i had them installed by my mechanic. this is not something to play around with at home if you ask me...

and the car runs fine no hassles...

power increase was good top end but at that stage i had the stock cat-back exhaust on still.

Now that i have a 3" cat-back there is so much more midrange torque the cams have really shown their worth now. To use this as a benchmark, 0 - 160 i was 5 carlengths ahead of a manual tx5 turbo which had full exhaust, pod and headwork. and mine is an auto :cheers:

have fixed up a pinging problem i had (timing too far advanced) and keen to get it on the dyno at the next dyno day.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
