Forgive my ignorance but Lca?

Lobe Center Angle, so 11deg adv on in and 9 deg retard on exhaust, then tune, will change what you think about VCT :yes:

They are both stock cam motors, vct is only 5degrees advance on inlet right?

Im fairly certain its a 20deg change :/

Edit, Beatin to it again :(

or try taking your motor thats been dialed in, and doing power runs at a further 20 degree intake retard, or a 20 degree advance, and see if there are any areas where you can from the extra advance, this will show you the use for vct

We tried heap of different settings and where it is is the best overall, there was no point where any adv/retard would improve what it currently is :)

20 deg either way at any point would be a massive step back

i was fairly sure it was more around a 20 degree advance, and stock cams are in the best postition for stock aplication, emmitions, etc, not nessasarly power so there is gain to be had there

edit yeah was beaten twice there

but your results seem strange to me, when i get my dyno in a couple of months ill revisit this thread with some playing around on the dyno with cam adjustment angles in a few conditions

Edited by Scott Black

this is why RB26 owners (that have deep pockets) end up retrofitting VCT OR HKS V-CAM onto their heads..

It's not about overall power, it's about usable power...

I definitely prefer my turbo on full noise at 4000rpm instead of 4500rpm (making up numbers here).. but if you go through Hypergear's thread you will see similar turbos produce similar power levels on both RB25 & RB26 motors and the only difference is the lag.

Yes the RB26 is 0.1L different, but I would prefer VCT any day of the week.

mm yet if hes not gaining anything below 5k by advancing the cam further then its not any more laggy with vct off, (strange imo as theres normally a gain) yet if hes advanced it so its already at its best setting for say the 2-5k range, then it should get a gain by retarding it above this leve, why i think its strange as hes saying thers no gain anywhere by changing the cam timing from what hes set it to, and thats very very strange

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
