I know how you guys like pictures :cheers:

The blue one is the hydraulic profile I grind on and the red one is your GTR cam. This graph is what is on the camshaft. You can see what needs to be taken off. The little closing ramp on the blue one demonstrates a very good hydraulic profile made by nissan to prevent fast valve seating and potentially necking the valves.

This one is to give you an idea of what happens at the valve. The red (GTR) profile is smaller because it has had some clearance taken off it. So you can see the gains to be had from this grind. I don't have a GTS grind on the cam doctor (or couldn't be stuffed finding it) but rest assured it is quite a bit smaller again.

Wacol. 4076 Q.

Put a note in there saying what you want along with your details and attention it to me. (Just a general rule for anyonw who wants to do it)

is that near st lucia? 4076 was my new postcode i thought...

Luke, I've been slack and not on for a couple of days but will hopefully get them away today.

Ivan Tighe's huh, had some cam work done there before when it was near the city. Very impressed with the rep and the work done.

As for Qld, give me ummm ......3.5 months and Vic can go to hell, or antarctica, whichever is closest. ;)

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
