Dobz, your setup sounds quite similar to the kit that otomoto sells.

When you say if you can afford it go vcam, do you mean vct in general or hks vcam specifically? The hks option is continuously variable as I understand, not a on off step like vct.

Ash: do you mean people retrofitting neo vct to the 26 or a full variable jobbie?

Obviously for vct you've got ottomoto, and I know of someone in qld who did it, but isn't around anymore. I think racepace also did, of did they just use vcam?

I'll also keep looking around for adaptors then, didn't think there was anyone left that made them.

There was a guy down in Melbourne who was running his own version of VCT on a 26. Had a silver R32 and was as most VicDrift events, I think his name was Rowan Nash?

He put up a few posts about it and said how well it worked, I hit him up for some info but all he said was that it was a retrofit from a 25. Might be worth hitting him up and seeing what he had to say.

sneaky pete, the difference with the otomoto kit is it requires a custom cam and fitting which feeds oil through the length of the cam to the vct. The way I am going to do it will allow me to use whatever aftermarket rb25 neo cam i want.

I meant hks v-cam if you can afford it. Being able to tune a constantly variable camshaft would have a big advantage over on/off adjustability.

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
