Hi all,

Just fitting some adjustable cam gears onto my GTR R32 and have noticed that the cam gears I have do not state inlet and exhaust.

Has anyone come across this because I have noticed some do state "inlet" and "exhaust".

Also I have two sets. Any suggestions which ones would be best to use.

One is a generic no name Tomei look alike and the other one is Envy Dyno which appears to be modified standard cam gears and also is noticeably heavier.

Cheers!

That's right, it doesn't matter as long as the locator dowel and timing mark are aligned. So on those pulleys which have two dowel holes you should put the cam dowel in the one aligning with the timing mark.

I can't understand why there would be two dowel holes on a pulley anyway, can anyone shed some light on this?

Edit: If you think they are copy tomei pulleys your priority should be upgrading the adjuster bolts to grade 8.8 or 12.9 bolts. Some fakes are known for having crap bolts.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Yeah it is strange how some have two dowel holes unless it's made to suit more than one engine??

I am thinking the envy dyno ones may be the way to go because they are heavier and seem to be modified oem so it should be stronger. But I am just guessing here.

Anyone know if some cam gears are better than others or is just all the same either way?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
