The rb20/26 inlet cam gears bolt on the same a the exhaust ones (4 bolts) but the rb25 has one large hollow banjo style bolt that holds the vct gear on.

So without modding the center of the cam aswell as the front bearing surface the stock vct gear wont fit so you need the rb20/26 pully.

surely if you put gtr cams onto hydrolic buckets your seat to seat timing would be increased to the point that idle quality will suffer, unless you plan on letting the buckets pump up and running a lash setting that match the gtr cams,  18 thou or something like that.

Not actually correct as the hydraulic follower allows clearance, due to the timing of the oil inlet, but let's just say it doesn't....

Then you end up with 18/1000 extra lift, this is not a bad thing :rofl:

And you end up with longer duration, again this is not a bad thing :D

I really can't see a problem, an RB is not a an old style engine with the hydraulic lifter at the opposite end of a push rod. :D

Just interested in discussing a recent incident with an RB20 that fitted GTR cams. The owner believes some of the inlet valves were staying open off lobe. So would the problem be:

1. The hydraulic follower is pumping too far open

2. the extra lift is pushing the follower too far into the guide and making it stick(the engine is 180K old), I think unlikely. it would stay well open.

3. the off lobe diameter of the cam is a larger diameter than the stocker and the hydraulic follower is jammed at one clearance and won't close to accomodate.

4. bent valves due to timing belt slipping a few teeth as the inlet cam was apperently very tight in the journal.

There were signs of at least one set of valves touched the piston so the timing would have been out slightly, but at least 3 sets stay slightly open. I'm yet to see the head but very keen to follow up and see if they ar all bent valves or one of the other problem I mentioned.

We are doing this conversion but modifying the inlet cam to run the VVT. May be crap but costing nothing to find out so will let you know.

This is on GTSt VSPECs GTS that has 450rwhp on the Stock cams so should be an interesting test.

Has these been done yet??

Any results available?

I have 3 sets of GTR cams and would like to put 1 set in my RB25det if it is worth while.

Save your energy guys, this swap does NOT work.......GTR cams are designed with ramps suitable for .015"-.018" clearance with solid lifters. Put them in a hydraulic lifter engine (RB20-25) with .000" clearance, and you now have longer duration, but ultra-low lift for a fair portion of that duration! Result = bad idle vacumn, crap power, etc, etc.

With that said, I do have 2 sets of GTR cams for sale...$200 per pair, so if you still want to try this swap, knock yourself out. :kick:

B.

Which is why it works for Sydneykid, and the suggestion that it wouldn't work due to ramp angles was laughed at by one of the Northsides' (Melb) better engine machining and building shops.

So you will of course provide dyno charts to support this advice? Make it quick as I'll be limited to occasional whoring from Thailand from 12 tomorrow.

I'm more than happy to concede to concrete evidence that it won't work, but there is evidence to the contrary.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
