If you buy Jap cams for the RB25VVT they will have a conservative inlet so it can run with the VVT. Buy cams to suit a non-VVT Rb25 or RB20 that way your HKS gears (I assume they are the same- 4 bolts and a pin) will bolt on and you will have no VVT.

I have used the Tomei Poncams (256 for RB25DET and 260 for RB25DET Neo) in a few engines and they work very well. I have tried an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley on 2 of them and found no improvement. They appear to be very well timed standard.:cheers:

Gary thats good info that has been repeated alot around here i have noticed, BUT

does the inlet cam have 4 bolts + locating pin or does i just have 1 big bolt to hold the VVT gear on?

What sort of cams would be suitable in an RB30DET situation.. Limited to 8.5mm lift due to rb25det head?

Reason why i have concerns with the Tomei cams is that they are made to work with the VVT, so therefore you would still bolt the stock cam gear on thus would have the incorrect bolt pattern for my HKS RB cam gear...

I am certainly not the only one that has found that the RB25DET Tomei Poncams don't need adj pulleys, Croydons have reported the same on a few cars as well.

The standard internals RB30 is not a big rever, so it doesn't really need big duration cams. The 256's should work VERY well. The 8.5 mm lift is not "limited by the RB25 head", I have used the Jun 256/9.3 mm in an RB25, but the valve springs needed to be changed.

As for camshaft selection, it was suggested to me that the RB20DET 256/8.5mm camshafts would work OK in an RB25DET cylinder head with adjustable camshaft pulleys. I have not personally tested this though, but the source is reputable.

Hope that is of some help:cheers:

Gradenko: I'd be interested to know how they managed to put that cam gear on the inlet cam!

Does anyone know anyone with Tomei Poncams installed in an RB25DET head? I want to know what the profile is on the front of the cam to hold the cam gear on... Is it 4 bolts and a locating pin, or is it the same as stock with a single bolt??

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
