Anyone know if the hks cam gears that fit the gtrs work on the neo stagea, I’m changing my belt and want to get gears at the same time. Stagea isn’t in the stated compatibility list but the heading is rb 20,25&26. The tomei cams on the other hand stagea is listed.  

The NEO engines have VCT on the intake cam. So unless you delete that whole oil-fed system you would need a different intake cam gear to be able to vary the intake cam timing. Keep in mind you must test the system at both extremes unless you want to potentially let pistons meet valves when the cam is advanced. Exhaust cam should be the same either way.

So would Tomei gears work with neo vct

Okay I understand now, there’s no need for adjustable cam on inlet but I can do it for the exhaust side. I really just wanted it for looks. Now I’m rethinking because I’ll only have one after market cam gear now on exhaust side… 

Priorities. Priorities. Pretty pretty priorities.

How sick would it look tho, might just get exhaust gear, still, does anyone know if it hks one works with stagea?

If this is a purely aesthetic thing I recommend not bothering. Multiple times now people have forgotten to torque + threadlock their cam gears to spec with the correct timing and they've trashed their heads when it loosens and allows cam timing to hit the extremes of advance/retard.

Okay, I’ll just get a HKS belt at 100ks then and clear timing cover 😎

Clear timing belt covers can be useful, someone local to me recently discovered their timing belt was hanging on by threads because of it and got a tow home instead driving home and snapping it entirely.

That's not useful. Timing belts last absolutely ages.

Not if the timing belt somehow is misaligned upon installation. How someone managed that I'll never know but that was one time where the clear cover paid off.

It doesn't surprise me that the type of person who wants a clear timing belt cover is the type of person who can't put a timing belt on.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
