I wanted to buy a set of Adjustable cam gears (intake/exhaust) but heard someone saying that something needs to be altered, changed i dont know to fit the intake gear.... can any one expand on this? sorry my question is so vague, it was a long time ago that i heard this.

I drive a Series II R33 (if that makes any diff. to fitting)

Cheers

Ok well im that friend hey sidd, lol... Ummm if you have a rb25det, you only need the exhaust cam gear and not the inlet, as people say the inlet didnt make a difference at all on the dyno..

The exhaust side is set @ -4deg which yields on average 10-15rwkw gain in the midrange... Definately noticeable when you put some stick into your car!!

In comparison on dyno figures to cars with the same set up - the exhust cam gear, mine still topped approx 10rwkw gain.

Its about a 2hr job with the right tools to pull off the old cam gear and replace with the adjustable one... It comes down to the tightness of the timing belt, as the cam gear cover has to come off, and you have to ease out the old cam gear.

Make sure you mark the lining up of your CAS before you take off the CAS and cam gear cover, so you know where to move it after the cam gear is on.

Take extra precaution on where the belt sits on the inlet gear, as you dont want it to move over a few teeth and wiggle the exhaust cam gear in after setting it @ -4deg...

Put it all back together, and I think you might have to move the CAS anti clockwise about 2mm to counter for the -4deg adjustment... Its either right or left?? But a proper timing gun would also help.

With the inlet gear it is an oil pressure activated VCT unit and can't be just replaced unless a new front end is welded on, so the whole cam must come out for machining. You also lose the VCT. Bass Junky has developed some VCT adjuster plates and has been looking for people to trial them. They work the same as with the exhaust ones then but with VCT.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
