I've got a set installed on a motor I'm slapping together as well.

85lb seat pressure with titanium retainers because I was upsold by my mate LOL.

Will spin the motor to 9k RPM, will have a balanced crank and Spool Import billet oil pump gears along with matching pump collar.

Funny part is, will be on stock rods, stock pistons with ACL Race conrod bearings.

Titanium retainers are a very very good idea.  I recently juggled a set of Performance's normal retainers and the stock Nissan ones.  The Performance ones are massive.  Easily three times as thick and heavy as the stockers.  I wouldn't do that to my engine.  The Ti ones would be an easy upsell.

good luck buddy, cams and turbo in the works?

I have basic Tomei 260º/ 9.15mm cams going in with a Hypergear 45SAT (ceramic BB version) going on. Should make a modest 400~420kW at the wheels.

Don't give up VCT, worse thing to do. GTR owners are paying thousands to retrofit them to their RB26 motors.

Purpose of the car: track work, drift, might dabble in roll racing too. 

Goal: 4k of usable RPM.

i see drag only in mind and daily driver. i will not operate in the vct region most of the time therefore why bother retain the vct? vct shuts off at about 4700rpm. i will be in 5+k

 

revving to 9-9.5k should give me about 4k usable range as well

You can control the VCT cut off point and also VCT will assist your turbo spooling. Furthermore it's a street car youll need that low down to move around traffic.

Worse idea ever removing VCT. If you want brappy cams that support VCT look at Camtech cams.

car will start on launch control at 4.5k rpm i dont drive car around in traffic. and camtech cams are at twice the price.

 

seems better to toss the vct and go larger cams.

You give a man a hammer everything looks like a nail.

I have had it on and off on my current engine....i see no major gains. Maybe it's not working blocked or something.  Systems aged she's and fail over time as well. I will revisit it later as changed won't be made immediately

The man has a point but your welcome to ignore the advice and remove a fantastic engine feature coz racecar.

Also think about Wat was said.... I Drag Race and I never operate in the vct range fantastic or not it is useless if the engine nerves sees the vct. Launch control is 4500rpm weeks vct turns off at 4700 therefore I see 200rpm of vct then I stay above 5k rpm between shifts. Car is not a track car. Vct makes no sense to my setup.

 

Larger cams would be more useful since I will be operating in the 5k plus region 

We are not here to all have like minds. We will all have different ideas and minds at some point. 

but u should consider another possibility

Dude you said on the previous page drag only and daily. Wtf. So if you intend on driving it at all on the road you would be a fool to remove vct. Clearly u have your mind made up. Good luck to you but my crystal ball says that you'll look back in the future and think those guys where right. So, will this thing be driven on the street or not? That should be what your decision is based around. Also vct will not hurt performance on the drag strip.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
