Curious cam timing.

Long time reader.... first time pulling one apart.  

 

I am giving the GTR a birthday with new timing belt (and braces).  I was told car had HKS 264 cams and under the covers there are cams stamped with "HKS" but no other markings ("RB2" is cast into the blanks).  Curiously, the inlet cam (greddy cam sprockets) is set to 10deg advanced and exhaust is set straight up.  As I dont have a long nose dial indicator to hand and I am lazy, is it conceivable that someone (who knows what they are doing) would end up with these settings on a dyno?  I was thinking of returning them to typical +4/-2.  Car has R34 N1 turbos that I want to run about 20psi.

 

Thanks Lincoln.

Quite possibly someone did know what they were doing.

If you're feeling lazy, find the cash to pay someone with the dial indicator gear to investigate.  Determine what the cams actually are, and decide whether you want/need to adjust from where they are.

well generally adjustable cam gear settings play with the powerband of an engine.

when i played around with my rb20 i advanced intake and retarded exhaust, done in incremental adjustments with full boost test runs to find the sweet spot, i found i would hit full boost earlier in the rpm range, however i figure i was robbing top end power

Note: make sure you at least have a wideband sensor or is run on a dyno for such adjustments so u don't lean out and blow your engine

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
