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

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.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
