Has anyone done before/after dyno with this exhaust cam gear yet?

Is an aftermarket ECU 'required' for these or is it only an 'advantage' ?

I'm looking for little things to get me up over 210rwkw on the Std ECU/Turbo and this looks like the next step.

Whats the typical cost to have these installed + tuned at a dyno shop ?

Edit: I was also liking the rice factor of the HKS Purple+Blue :P

Hi Guys, I bought a set of Jun adjustable cam gears on the forum a few weeks ago. They appear to be standard Nissan GTR pulleys with the centre machined out and replaced with a steel adjuster. If they are standard Nissan teeth they will obviously last as long as they would unmodified, provided the centre line of the adjuster is lined up properly during the machining process. They have 5 adjuster bolts which should provide more than sufficient retention.

UniqueAutosports sell modified standard pulleys for $185 each for the standard weight and $195 for the lightweight ones. So, as long as they have the same accuracy of centring there should be no problems with theirs either.

If you are not looking for looks (the HKS ones do look trick) or extreme lightweight, these are viable options.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't bother loosing the VVT until over 250rwKW, and use the cam gears in conjunction with better cams.

Steve, Thanks for the link, what would the postage be? I have worked it out before, and the group buy idea is better as only one postage cost is needed.

The following table indicates the shipping costs to Zone 2, which includes Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and any country in Europe. For other countries, please contact [email protected]

Base rate (up to 1 kg) ¥3990

For each 500g more than 1 kg ¥525

Works out at about $55AUD for the first kg (ouch), but $14.50 for every kg there after, which is a bit better.

when were you thinking of getting these? Soonish I hope. I'm after 1 (for now - maybe 2 later), and wouldn't mind jumping on the group buy bandwagon

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

Can you find out the weight of the cam gears, plus are there any additional taxes that need to be pay for goods coming into Australia?

I can buy them whenever, just trying to find somewhere which is cheaper than I can get them here.

Not too sure about taxes, have you had a chat to customs. From most of the feedback I have read, it seems that if it is under $1000AUD they dont seem to worry a heap - never know for sure though. I did get my turbo through, but the guy at the other end put it down as about $380AUD - they opened it for inspection, but didnt hit me any duty.

I will drop them a line, and ask about quantity for group discount and unit weight.

Steve

so on a car with a big turbo (like a HKS 3040) and the usual other mods like fuel pump, injectors, engine management (I have HKS FCONV, VPC and PFC-FCON), exhaust, intercooler. Would it be worth removing the VVT and getting a cam gear for both inlet and exhaust? It's an RB25DET, and what sort of cams should i go for? 256 Duration and 8.8mm lift? or bigger, to something like 264 duration and 9mm lift? What would the difference be between the two cams?

I'm liking the sound of the Toda gears myself! The top end power is pretty good so i'm more after some street usable mid-range at this stage. I've also read on the other CAM thread that you might be able to get the inlet cam slotted to allow adjustment and still keep the VVT.... is this true or not worth it?

Thanks

Andrew

GiJOR33,

With a setup like that, then yes I'd do both cam gears. Sounds like a similar setup to what I'm going for.

Cam's I'd go for the 264's, but the 256's are also very good.

Yes, it is possible to slot the existing gear, but the VVT doesn't have sufficient impact to make it worthwhile doing at big horsepower.

See'ya:burnout:

A guy at work machined out the centres of my steel gears and replaced them with adjustable alloy centres (which he made as well). They allow +/- 4 degrees adjustment and only cost me $17 for the materials and a slab for the labour.

Guys go to a machining company with a design and all your standard gears in bulk and it will cost you **** all to get them modify.

Why buy wanky brand name gear? It doesn't make your car go any faster and it costs a fortune.

Pawley, I think the UAS ones are made exactly the same way as Rowdyr32's are. That would mean they have like a $150 markup on them. Which I guess isn't over the top, but if you look around enough you can probably get it done cheaper (let's all ask Rowdyr32's mate if he wants to do some more for us ;))

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
