This might be a stupid question but isnt VVT only on the r34 Neo engines, and not the r33 rb25det? So your adjuster mod can only be used on cars fitted with VVT?

Noise???? Based on the 2 degrees advance we apply to GTR's and RB20's, it doesn't make the idle "lumpy", if that's the question.  They just sit there and idle, same as they did before.

Emmissions, that's a bit tougher to answer as it depends on how the engine is tuned before the inlet camshaft timing is advanced.  Just fitting an exhaust and turning up t he boost to 10 psi makes an RB25DET fail the ADR standards.  I suspect if you advanced the inlet camshaft timing 2 degrees on a totally stock engine it would make bugger all difference to the emissions, with NOx being the only question.

Sydneykid, have you tried to advance on the inlet of r33 with as et of poncams?

Depends if it is an R33GTST or R33GTR. The 3 X RB25's we have used Poncams in work best at zero degrees. In my experience, GTR's always benefit from adjusting the camshaft timing, regardless of the brand of camshaft used.

:P cheers :P

Sorry it's r33 gtst. you meant zero degree in both inlet and exh?

I reckon I might be able to find some of my lost power by dialing the cams in with this adjustable inlet pulley.

Maybe my inlet cam is one way or the other and I'll be able to find the best position for it.

0 Degrees will probably the best spot, but I'm not confident that mines at 0 now.

Well, Paul33 is testing the adjusters this weekend with Dr Drift.

Thanks to both for giving it a go.

Unfortunatly I can't make it to have a look. I'm doing wedding stuff with my fiance. And if I want to continue to speak in a voice that doesn' sound like Michael Jackson, then I must accompany her.

Godd Luck guys, I look forward to the results.

BASS OUT

hey bass i forgot to tell you, mega sorry its not going in this weekend, its being booked in mid next week, prolly go in wednesday as sam has been flat chat. ill pm you monday what time its going in on wednesday

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late reply and big delay. We had the cam gear fitment put on over the weekend and after testing we made no extra power whatsoever. My cams were dialed in at the factory position and made the best power there. Any more advanced and we lost power everywhere else but gained like 2rwkw in the top end.

There are some pics of the unit fitted below (can get better ones if you like). Very nice little invention/concept just a shame the power increase wasn't experienced. Let me know if I can help in any other way or test stuff etc. Dyno chart to come tomorrow when I scan it up, shows unit fitted and no change, then 3 deg advance then 5 deg advance

We usually find 1 or 2 degrees advance on the inlet camshaft is the best on the non VVT engines. Maybe 3 degrees was past the optimum.

:) cheers :D

Pauls inlet was already set around 2/3 degrees advanced, which is why we didn't see the gains that Bass did.

Summary:

Moving the adjustment of the inlet cam gear from the back to the front is an excellent idea. If your cam timing is not right, you can expect some noticable gains. I would highly recommend this modification to be done when the timing belt is being changed, or the cams are being upgraded. It is a very simple procedure that provides extra flexability when tuning, and may help find some 'lost power' that some 33's are missing.

Sam.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
