Up Grading My Cam And Ignition

[the big JC]

Iv been thinking about getting a MSD 6A ignition controller for my MR30 for a while now but with the way petrol prices are at the moment im thinking about it a bit more seriously if it's gonna save me fuel so what i want to know is would it be compatable with the L24E and are they hard to install. Performance whise what difference would one make paired with a performance coil and a set of 8.8mm leads.

(If anyone has a secondhand one for sale i might be interested)

Ok next the cam, has any one got a aftermarket cam in there L24 or L20 what brand is it and what differnce did it make, Iv'e been looking at mild Crow cams and i will also be getting extractors to compliment the cam.

any help would be greatly aprisiated Cheers Josh

Ive decided to go with a Crow cam because they make one that will suit my requirements so i just need to know if a MSD 6A unit will fit to my L24E Skyline

If you want THE L seies n/a cam, go source a 260Z manual cam. It's reputedly the Nismo Works cam and it should have a C stamped on the back.

I'm using a stock L28ET cam in my new L20ET engine and I got it for AU$90.00 ex USA delivered to my door.

So all the manual L26 260Z are supposed to have nismo works cams, it would be cheaper if i could get one of them but the only problem is it probably wouldn't be the grind i want the crow cam ive picked out is a high tourque cam that works between 2000rpm & 5800rpm.

what sort of power increase do you think you would get from using one of those nismo or L28ET cams, crow recon about 10hp from there cam.
