Hi All,

I done gone broke a camshaft on the weekend and I'm having a dickens of a time trying to find a new one.

The Cylinder head I've got is a R32 RB25DE head and I've broken the Exhaust cam.

I'm really after some information regarding what cams from what other RBs I can put in there and have it work essentially.

I found a nice table on the Tomei website about all the specifications of the cams in all the different RBs but I haven't been able to find any info on what cams will fit into what heads, are they all different? Are they all the same? Can you mix and match some and not others?

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! I don't really want to buy new aftermarket cams if I don't have to.

um the bulge on the front cam gear cover suggests to me you have VCT and therefore a head from a 33?!?

 

Yeah that’s just the cover, paint was nicer than the other one. 

It had 26 cam covers too ;)

I would look for an R33 DET cam and measure it before you buy. There should be heaps lying around from people who have installed poncams etc. There's one on ebay now for $50 but an intake unfortunately.

ahhhh, makes sense now ;)

I had an RB30 twin cam with the same head then as you have and ran a reground RB26 cam for a 32/33 head many years back, stock RB26 cams are relatively cheap...

I reckon I have mine lying around if you get desperate...

There's only .5mm increase in lift - can't see that being a problem.

I'd suggest the RB20DET cam - same Lobe Centre Angle (Pre-set Valve Timing), slightly more lift and slightly longer duration (might be a useful thing for the big-arse hairdryer there)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
