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

Cheers peter

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.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
