I got my hands on a set of HKS cam gear, just wondering how to install them??

By the way this is for an RB25det series II R33

I took off the cover but the gear on the left has a metal cover on top of it, while trying to take off the the cover I found that there is a spring underneath, so i just put back together.

So if anyone has done this before it'll be great if you can give some hints. or is best if I get a mechanic to install them??

Personally I wouldn't do this yourself, you will most likely stuff it up and your timing will be way out. If you have a set then remember that by putting the cam gear on the inlet cam you will loose your NVCS(variable cam timing). This is not a huge issue if you are doing cams at the same time, but I wouldn't bother if you leaving factory cams in.

I would suggest that you simply do the exhaust cam gear, get it done on a dyno, you should get an extra 5kW out with this alone.

The exhaust cam gear is the one with the CAS(crank angle sensor), should be on the right as you look at the engine. If you read the info on all aftermarket cam gears it says that you will loose the NVCS. I think that they are supposed to be used in conjunction with cams, and when you have more agressive cams then you don't want the NVCS.

You can change the cams yourself IF you know what you're doing but I do not recommend tuning them yourself. If you change the timing too much you might easily end up with a blown engine. Tuning of cam gears should only be done on a dyno..

And yeh IN and EX cam gears for HKS are identical and they're also the same as the RB26 cams.

Yeah, just do the exhaust gear. The car will run like a dog if you take the VCT off and keep the factory cam.

You can give me the other HKS cam gear if you want :spank::)

The general consesus on the RB25DET with factory turbo blah blah blah, is to run 4 degrees (crank) retard on the exhaust cam. But it could vary from car to car depending on your mods I suppose.

Optimum is around 4 deg retard for the exhaust cam, if your after top-end power. Remember that top-end isn't every thing, a good tuner can give you a fatter power curve and a bit more top-end, the wider the power curve the more usable power you have.

I agree...

Go the exhaust side only....

HKS cam gears when tuned properly can give an awsome power curve... Its all about the felling of puttin g the foot down and having a 1 second lag before instant power and then all the way to 8000rpm then a quick stab of the clutch and select 2nd and bang your away... Yeah baby... (I got wet pants now)

If your after cam gears then HKS ones retail at around $250-$270. There are also a number of other manufactures who have them available, such as Toda and OS Giken, some a little cheaper, others more expensive. They can also be bought through Nengun.

For most people, unless you doing cams, then the exhaust cam is fine, and when tuned properly can give noticable gains in power and torque. I believe that the RB26 and RB25 cam gears are identical.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
