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.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
