current mods: rb25det

apexi fc computer/ z32 air flow meter

gt28 turbo (450hp)

600x300x75 cooler

upgraded fuel system

3 inch zorst/twin dump

pod

bov

and im now in the market for some cams, which ones should work best with my setup? i was reading a cams article in speed mag from a few months ago and the application guide says that the 270 intake and 270 exhaust have the best street stars followed by 260 intake and 260 exhaust and these are tomei cams, also will upgrading the cams give my idle a nice lumpy sound?

thanks

Patience mate, wait for a few of the regulars such as B-Man to see this and they will be able to provide some helpful info. Will assume you are referring to a GTS-T in your post since you didnt mention the car.

Tomei Poncams seem to be a popular choice

what specs are stock rb25det cams.And also what size is recomended to use with the rb25det.Poncams were first on my list of cams to choose from and then i saw others which offered longer duration and more lift but as i understand it to much lift is bad and can cause premature failure of valve stem springs and lead to worse things like a valve in the piston.

what is max lift for tha stock rb25det valvetrain?

also would you suggest using any cam gears when purchaseing a set like the poncams.

does exhaust overlap have a big part in performance with poncams like when using stock cams and adj gears?

heres a list of the tomei range for the rb25det

I am extremely interested in this topic and have read many times Sydneykid recommends the Tomei Poncams. I have also been advised, that the Tomei Poncams are only IN256/EX256 with 8.5mm Lift on both.

I'm not sure what sort of power figure you're after but these are not that big an improvement.

The alternative is the HKS Step 1's with IN256/EX264 with 8.8mm and 9.0mm Lift option, which also work with the VVT on the Series 1 and 2 GTS-t.

Can someone please comment on either of theses sets of cams?

Thanks Ken

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
