how about str cam gears quote :

"TAKING THE CAM GEAR TO A NEW LEVEL…THESE NEW INNOVATIVE CAM GEARS ADHERE TO STRICT RMA STANDARDS, MEANING THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH A SPECIAL TOOL SO EACH TOOTH IS PRECISELY MATCHED TO THE OEM TIMING BELT. EACH GEAR MADE FROM BILLET, UTILIZES AIRCRAFT GRADE ¼” 12 POINT BOLTS WITH WASHERS TO ENSURE NO SLIPPAGE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. THE GEAR IS THEN ANODIZED WITH STR’S EXCLUSIVE BRONZE FLAVOR AND THEN FINISHED OFF BEARING THE MARK OF THE FAMOUS STR TRADEMARK. NOTHING EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE INVESTED IN THESE REMARKABLE CAM GEARS

We sell the STR cam gears too, they are very good, but we can get the Jap ones cheaper.

OFENSV, The HKS cam gears are made from a soft aluminum and the teeth do tend to wear.

I reckon you'd need to do a sh!t load of kms before they wear out. I tend to blow up motors or bend my cars before I wear out cam gears!

i got the tomei cam gears and cams for my gtr r33 and was extremely happy with them they look f....ng awesome and gained a shit load tuning them in (total tune gain 152hp with small changes also to inj and int mapping and a about 1 psi boost)(518hp at the wheels)

Gav, Ask Ant about the condition of some of the HKS cam gears that have come off engines he's rebuilding at the moment, not pretty:(

I'd prefer to go with a stronger material.

Was that with the timing belt cover on or off? Have you seen the condition of Greddy ones etc after an engine has travelled a fair few kms with cover off?

OS Giken gears can be had for $399 rrp the pair

alot cheaper than the others at $250+ each

EDIT:

while on the topic of gears... cover off VS cover on

whats the go with removing the cover, I know they look pretty, but whats the negative side affect? i'd say shit goin onto the timing belt... u';d have to watch your hands :rofl: etc

Timing belt covers on. There are serious wear marks on the HKS teeth:(

The Greddy one on mine showed little wear, but hadn't been on very long.

yeh my concern is the extra wear on the teeth from dirt etc etc. Plus its a hell of a hazard being exposed, It woul fail Australian Standards for machine guarding :(

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
