To save starting another thread, id also be interested to know, I have HKS GT2530's with stock camshafts and camgears. This week Tomei 260 in/ex camshafts are being put in and tomei cam gears. I have heard people say dont adjust the Tomei stuff as you wont get power, is this true? If not, whats the most common adjustment to bring boost on as early as possible and have nice low to mid range torque. :)

The Tomei Poncams 256/260 in GTST's haven't needed timing adjustments in my vast personal experience of 2 cars. But the Tomei's in GTR's ALWAYS need adjusting. As someone else posted, advanced 2 degrees on the inlet and retard 4 degrees on the exhaust is a good place to start. :burnout:

SK, is +2 degrees IN and -4 degrees EX a good place to start for standard cams too?

I usually start at zero, that's REAL zero after allowing for cambelt stretch plus any head and block machining. But I always head towards advancing the inlet and retarding the exhaust first. :burnout:

Is that + 2 and - 4 actual crank degrees or notches on the cam pulleys ?

Thanks.

Depends on the brand of cam pulley. Easy to check, each tooth on the cam pulley is 15 degrees crankshaft. Just count the notches for one tooth. :wavey:

SK , does this also work for the 26/30 single turbo RB30 . 

Thanks  A .

Are we talking camshaft timing? If so, the +2 inlet -4 exhaust is a place to start if you are running standard cams. I have seen some different timing work better with large duration cams. I have a pair of Jun 272/280's with 10.5 mm lift going in my new RB31DET, so I will be most interested in where the timing ends up for best average power using those. :cheers:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
