Looking for more bang for buck here. Goal is 270rwkws w/stock internals rb25det and I'd imagine close to 20psi. With all the other obvious bolt ons taken care of- what will give me a better power curve for the money? An adjustable exhaust cam gear or drop in tomei poncams? Or better to just save money and spend elsewhere? I think I'd be happy with at least 10kws gained in the band, but more than that and I'd definitely buy one or the other depending on the answers I get. Cheers

Bigger turbo. For a small increase an adjustable exhaust cam gear may give you a little. Bolt-ons that are obvious to one person may not be to another. What have you actually done?

Hyper gear. Fmic. Z32 maf. Coil packs. 740cc Injectors. Apexi pfc. Full 3.5 exhuast. Ebc. Then a tune. Might be missing something else. That's the list, currently deployed so spending my downtime day dreaming and making a list of items for my r33. I guess my question should be this- let's say with those mods making 270rwkws what can I expect to see from an adjustable cam gear vs. Tomei poncams? 10kws here vs 15 there? Rough estimates will do, much appreciated

Run E85 is the best bang for buck.

Bigger cams will just bring the powerband towards the right hand side of your RPM graph.

I would say, get it all running 1st, then get Poncams if you're not happy.

270kW with stock cams is a walk a in the park.

I did 372kW with stock cams, 1.7bar of boost on a stock unopened motor for nearly 2 years with track abuse before it exploded lol

How big are the prizes in your race category?

Haha that's a good question. Dont intend to race the car atm. But in the distant future I may go up to 500+bhp and was wondering if it's worth a purchase then

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
