Have a look at this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=38857. Very few people have got the GTR cams to work successfully in the RB20. No-one seems to know why they don't work for most but do work for some.

So that pretty much gets rid of one of you two options.

yeah ive seen that but was wondering if the HKS Step 1 256 degree, 8.7mm lift cams would be a good upgrade on the exhaust side.

nengun have them for sale for r32, r33 and r34 GTRs and thought it might be a good upgrade for a rb20det because it wont require any head modification

any info?

Buy an aftermarket cam for the RB20DET. Forget about cams meant for RB25s or RB26s. Get a Tomei/Greddy/HKS etc etc cam specifically for the RB20DET. Based on the experiences of Bass Junky nad his RB25, be sure that you have a turbo upgrade first, otherwise it may not give much in way of performance improvement.

Just some advice:)

I have a set of hks 264 cams in my rb20det now for the rb20 they have a 9mm lift no machining of the head was needed and the standard lifters are working ok .Hks as opposed to tomei cams from what my research has been able to find out have added to the toe of the lobe and taken of the heal of the lobe to get there 9mm lift as opposed to the tomei ones that just add to the toe for lift

The 256 degree camshafts you are looking at are certainly not a scary upgrade. The standard FJ20 both NA and turbo variants run 256 degree cams on both the inlet and ex sides. You will make a difference by upgrading to 256s but I would recommend in the high 260s low 270s if you want something to really make a difference which still remains very streetable. I am looking at some 288degree cams for my engine but thats because I want to take advantage of the GT30 ;)

Tomei make some 260 and 270 degree cams in high and low lifts. Id go 270, then you can take advantage of the rbs smooth reving abilities.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? 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.
