Hi, i recently bought HKS cam gears for my 32GTR and was looking at sticking with the same theme of HKS by buying some HKS camshafts and valve springs but use ARP headstuds,

Was thinking of getting these:

http://www.perfectrun.jp/src/product.php?pid=20034&pname=CAMSHAFT&maker=HKS&iid=3927&pfid=213

http://www.perfectrun.jp/src/product.php?pid=20034&pname=CAMSHAFT&maker=HKS&iid=3930&pfid=213

http://www.rhdjapan.com/hks-valve-springs-set-nissan-rb26dett.html

and would the valve springs work with stage one even if it says for HKS step 2 camshafts?

Wanting to give the car abit more power but still keep some pretty good response, car has stock turbos on them at the moment.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Still new to this so was hoping i'd get some help from the community.

Cheers

... stock turbo's, I probably wouldn't be looking at cam's just yet. very easy to go backwards.

...as for the parts, seek the advice from the person who will be setting your head up before you buy anything!

Decided to ditch the HKS cam gear as was told that tomei ones and other cam gears with 5 screws generally last much longer than the HKS with 3 screws, and recently just purchased PFC and looking for second hand R34 GTR turbos to recondition or might even look at N1 Turbos before getting it all tuned, car came with HKS hi power on it.

If your going to replace the turbo's.... just buy a new set of -7's (r34N1's... http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/garrett-garrett-gt2860r7-r34-turbocharger-set-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-r33-gtr-r34-gtr-rb26dett-p-307.html ) and be done with it. Unless you have a lot of spare time and do the work yourself, swapping turbo's on a 26 is a job you only really want to do once.

What will wear out on the cam gear? The bolts?

First I have heard of that concern. Certainly more bolts would be better but it's hardly worth worrying about.

The older HKS cam gear with the bluey green outer ring wore out as they weren't hardened enough and would skip teeth, happened to me, other then that their much of a much now days and as long as the bolts are tightened properly there isn't an issue with them

Right, that makes heaps more sense! I was thinking that it was related directly to the bolts....

Std cams all the way.

Flick a couple pages over in the HKS catalog and spend the money you were going to spend on cams on better dump pipes and front pipe or a hard pipe kit for induction/hot side inter cooler pipes...

The single biggest determining factor of how your GTR will drive, is the size/type turbo/s that are bolted to the side of the engine....

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
