I have read a few times and seen evidence that the Poncams dont upset the idle...but i hate how smooth the RB is at idle...its no 427 or even old school cam'd 240Z.

So of the other cams, Greddy, HKS does anyone have any experience with cams around the 260 duration with 8.5-8.8mm lift?

As well as the gain in mid-top power i want a bit of fart and lump at idle :D

Because RBs sound like my vacuum cleaner at idle...the tacho needs to bounce around at idle :D

Running a PFc so no rotational idle for me, if i ahd an Autonic :)

And no way i want to run a cam anywhere near as big as 272 unless someone can show me a reliable before / after comparison on a similar engine.

You make me laugh :D

The only time i've heard an angry RB is when there are some large cams being used like in Daves car... and the old Jet33... Jacks car has a very slight difference but not major

They werent 260/8.5 though :)

It's alot easier if you go straight to a peripheral port, or a large bridge port. Running a stocker isn't going to cut it, especially with a restrictive exhaust.

Lucky Brett went straight for the extendedly bridged peripheral port, and can now hang his nuts out with the Pac crew. Rockin!

I was looking at doing a backyard J-Port, but was worried that would hurt fuel economy, nad heave heard Jports dont lend themselves to forced induction.

Nah bro, you've just got to get a large angle grinder - or better yet a dropsaw. That's the problem, you're acting too pedantic and being far too meticulous with your work. Hack harder and you'll go faster. I bet it takes you 3 weeks to do a half meter section of intake pipe?

For budget's sake you could have a toggle switch that turns off a couple of coil packs mounted in the cabin.

3 weeks? I thought it took longer then that. :worship:

And i want to hear more about this budget thing...does turning off coil packs help you make more power....you aint my daddy. Are you?

Farks sake...camshaft help please. Your car idled pretty cool. What size were those cams?

Who cars man just grind the biggest eyelet you can, go all the way into the water jacket you dont need that coolant stuff. Anyway who cares as long as it sounds tough and doesnt idle below 2500rpm.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
