It all depends on what else you have done. Be careful as a little change on the cam timing can make quite a big change to the AFR. Your best bet is to get the car on a dyno and work in small steps, monitoring the air/fuel ratios.

Just trying to clarify setting cam gears up....

what is the ideal setting?

4 advance on inlet side and 2 retard on exhaust?

If not what then?

thanks

and are these figure, cam gear figures or crank figures as 1 degree on cam is 2 on crank

Other way around. Most people have had success with about two degrees advance on the inlet & four degrees retard on the exhaust, but it varies from car to car. What you are going to be doing is increasing the cam overlaps - something Nissan couldn't do because of the emissions problems this gives.

1 degree on the cam is two degrees on the crank. Measure everything in crank degrees & don't forget to compensate with the ignition timing when you are done.

I would get it on a dyno mate, even if you have to drop the front tailshaft.

I would rather be sure then have someone who might have got their settings mixed up and end up with bigger problems (not having a go at anyone in this thread).

So...Can we get another to confirm its 2 degrees advance on plenum side and 4 retard on exhaust????

Yes, that is correct. Get it done on a dyno, because results vary from car to car depending on the tune and/or setup. The +2/-4 degrees gives you a good idea on where to start looking.

I am wondering what type of tune my car has been steup for.

I had a look at the os giken gears and exhaust is retard 4 increments and inlet is adv 6 increments does this sound right to you guys?

What sort of effect would this have on the tune.

I have read that inlet is normally around 2 increments this seems very different.

The car goes really well just interested if it is setup to bring on boost or what?

mods rb26, exhaust, filters ,PFC 15psi, os cam gears.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
