It was retarded not advanced . The idea being the exhaust valves open and close 2 degrees earlier so the cylinders blow down fractionally earlier in their cycles and the overlap timing is a little shorter .  So instead of the valve timing being 8-68 63-13 it would be 8-68 65-11 and the overlap duration 19 rather than 21 degrees . 

I imagine they set the cam where they wanted it with the crank at TDC , then moved the crank with the modified pulley so the cam would be in the normal position but with the crank 2 degrees after TDC . Tighten the four bolts and cam timings finished .

Presuming you've had something done with the head?  Pretty economical with the detail Adrian.:10_wink:

Do a bench test and see for yourself what happens to injector spray patterns with bigger base pressure.

Takes the guesswork out of whether you need to listen to what "people" say.

Probably going to be hard to beat a Walbro 460 if you need a new pump.  Contact Mafia for some comments/experience on what works well and how to control the pump to best effect on a road car with Link/Vipec ecu tricks.

I think the buckets were fine , just a few RS exhaust valve guides . If they don't line up with the seat they don't seal too well . Was ported first time round and had Ferrea (sp) over sized exhaust valves fitted . Head was O ringed to make the OE gasket reliable with extra heat and pressure . Std springs shimmed for a few extra pounds .

ok so cams are in, fitted to standard positions, no adj. gears...due to other work also being done to car over last few weekends, haven't done heaps of driving as yet or fully retuned, but impressions so far - idle is a little bit rougher but nothing overly noticeable. If you're giving it low throttle, standard cams win as there's a slight loss in pickup. If you're giving it medium or more throttle, the 256's are noticeably better although haven't even given it full throttle yet.  Looking forward to retuning and seeing the end result.

^^ Andy the truth is for most cases there's far more gain in having optimised inlet, exhaust, and cooler piping than there is cams.  Comments from Stao in his Hypergear thread bears this out.

But changing to these baby upgrade cams sure isn't going to hurt.  Going to be interested to see your results.

The best explanation I have is that aftermarket cams in a street car get you the last 50 Hp , not the first (over standard) . I think there are many better mods to make initially than cams in either flavour RB25DET . Better easier bang for buck .

I just happened to go that way since I opted for a second head to modify , saved downtime , and had it all done together . I also opted to have that head decked to get the highest practical compression ratio without making it unreliable , supposed to be around 9.2 - 9.3 to 1 . Not really a relevant comparison but I was told at the time that the GMS GTRs ran about 9.6 to one esp after CAMS forced them to reduce boost to make it "fairer" for the iron ox taxis .

I now think that lack of exhaust valve sealing and fuel pressure issues were ganging up on me , first issue fixed and a new pump shortly (no time atm) .

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
