Hello world!
I'm new here so please don't get mad at me for asking.
What i need, and i hope some of you know this is the  CAM timing for the RB26DETT engine.
More specific i need:

the angle at witch the intake valve opens

the angle at witch the intake valve closes

the angle at witch the exhaust valve opens

the angle at witch the exhaust valve closes

Lobe Separation Angle

and the advance.

All i know by now is: camshaft duration 240°in, 236°ex lift: 8.58mm in, 8.28mm ex

I can't find anywhere the data that i need and i can't determine it either.
I've attached a photo with the stock camshaft.
All of this is for a school project, i currently study Automotive Engineering and i would like to simulate the RB26DETT engine.
Thank you very much!

From the above info you can calculate it.

But..... At what valve opening are those figures?

It is probably going to be heaps easier to get the specs of aftermarket cams.

Hello Ben!

After posting I found a topic in this forum and I got the data I needed. I just want to confirm it.

Stock cams

Intake 240 degrees 7 BTDC 53 ABDC 113 degrees

Exhaust 236 degrees 63 BBDC 7 BTDC 118 degrees

Sounds like an interesting project.

I don't have the figures to confirm, but in our production car racing we have the cams measured before being sealed into the engine. The measuring is done by Camtech in Sydney, so they must have the data you are after for the stock cams.

The full details for RB26 cams have been listed on the 'net about 60000000173746454 times over the last 30 years. It just takes 10 minutes of googling to get a consistent set, cutting out the clearly wrongheaded ones.

But as Ben said, you can get all of what you need from the data in your first post. If you are doing "Automotive Engineering" to the level that you are going to run an engine in a simulator, I find it very hard to believe that you do now know the relationships between seat to seat duration, advertised duration, lobe centre angles and the timing of specific events. All of these are simply obtained with arithmetic from each other. You only need ~half of them to get the other half. The one caveat there is that the finest details are somewhat affected by the valve clearances.

I would suggest that in the context of running it in an engine simulator, precise details are only going to have a small effect on the quality of the simulation anyway. People put far too much faith in the output of computer simulations.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
