I was thinking in terms of making sure a copied cam would work with the original HKS controls. But otherwise, yes.

Around 500 usd plus handling for the same thing the hks do.

That's a fixed 16 degree advance, even VCAM Step 1 allows for variable 30 degree cam advance. If it didn't make a big difference Nissan wouldn't have implemented continuous VVT in the VR and VQ engines.

I'm a little late to this thread but thought it still worth commenting. I have done this to my own car. It started as a Step 1 and I sent the cam off to Kelford to be ground into a 272/9.2 cam. I then removed the limiter in the cam gear. Kelford and I did initially plan to use a standard cam and cut it to work with the VCAM but it did not work out. The cores they use have a relief for access to the head bolt. This is exactly where the reluctor pickups are. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions on the process. Glad to help.

Did they have to go to a smaller base circle for this? I imagine they would have to in order to effectively add meat to the lobe to get a longer duration.

Hey OST, Thanks for clearing up and answering my question. I'm late to see this post, but glad it is possible

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
