i think the consensus is .. well in my mind anyways.... if u put solid lifter spec cams into a hydralic cam lifter engine ur bound to have problems...

although the guys with the most problems that have been discussedare basically amatuers (no offence to them at all .. at least they tried)... they did the swap themselves at home. Only one guy that i know of Waz from over here in Vic with he;s R32 has got he;s to work .. i;ve seen it ..apart from it running overly advanced timing. it still pulls. .. majority more mid range than anything else.

myself.. hopefully when i start my new engine build .. i will have my GTR cams "hydraulic'd" aka reground so that its "spec" for hydraulic lifters.. just as a safety precaution and longevity.

Anyways basically if ur wanting to do this .. i cant really stress it enough that u get it done professionally.

Cheers

Matt

Hmm thanks guys, if/when i do it, it will be done by a professional mechanic, no doubts about that.

LOL...depending who your mechanic is they wont attempt it and will recommend that you shouldnt...whether that advise ia right or wrong it dont matter....reading that opther thread you can see there are ppl sitting on the fence like me, then others that feel one way or another.

My advise is, spend the extra $500 and get RB20 cams.:)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
