What kind of gains could I expect with cam gears and the stock cam?

Boost on a little sooner, more power/torque everywhere in the curve.

That was my experience with 34R stockers anyway.

You're best off leaving the stock cams in and using adjustable gears. With adjustable gears you can get some good gains, depending on the amount of time spent dialing in and setting up the cams to suit your tune. That way you'll get the best response.

If you weren't going to keep stock, Type R would be recommended next before Type B. As others have mentioned, you'd lose some low down response with Type B for top end power but in reality having low-mid range power is much better.

310kw on E85 seems slightly low for those turbos also. Unless the boost is down at a lower level then it would make sense. Adding cam gears and more boost (21psi area) you could get up to 350kw provided you don't have restrictions elsewhere.

There is a bit of information available on the Tomei Poncam range and the results obtained from them on a variety of setups.

How can type bs make a gtr with gt-ss drive Terribley down low

They already responsive as f**k ! I been in my mates before and after type bs noticed no difference down low

I should find out what gains he got with cams....

You should give Racepace a call and ask them what the think about type b's. I'll give you a hint, they got ripped out, sold off and went back to stock. What looks impressive on a dyno doesn't always show what's going on actually driving the car.

Thanks again everyone.its clear that aftermarket cams are not worth it on a 2.6 so cam gears have been ordered and I'll post the results when it's done

Stock cams/cam gears, -7s and E85 over here. 325kw with all the mid range you could want.

As Piggaz said, a dyno graph won't always show how the car drives.

I was making 320kw on 98 with:

-7's

Tomei Type B's

Tomei cam gears

Standard Dumps

Nitto bottom end

It's currently getting fixed up, and then put to E85. Don't know what ill get there....

Without naming names, From what my engine builder reckons RBs don't need massive cams

They make plenty of power and response on very low duration cams.

Most of the time the big duration cams have a pussy profile so that's why you often see the curve move a lot to the right on the graph.

People often forget its not just the cost of buying the cams, but the hidden cost of installing cams on an rb can be a shock too

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
