Group Buy # 4 Arospeed Adjustable Cam Gears, By Popular Demand, By Popular Demand


Recommended Posts

i paid $155 + $10 delivery?

Guys the reason why hanyou paid $155 is because i had a set returned to me that didnt fit a CA18 from the last group buy.

As for this current gb we didn't reach our target therefore the price of $185 DELIVERED.

Ill put up a list of all people invovled so you can see.

If Hanyou want's to cause me problems maybe i should charge him the full price, this is what i get for doing hanyou a favour.

sorry for the late reply on my part and for holding up the GB but i haven't had a computer for a couple of week :D

r33kid: i didnt know you were doing me a favour and by no means was i trying to say you were rorting the others. i merely stated how much i paid. if its gna cause you probs with the other members im happy to pay the difference so its fair to everyone else :P

sorry again mate.

nah hanyou you picked up a bargain...leave it as is :nyaanyaa:

R33kid: RE: PM, no dramas. I didnt know everyone else was paying that price

ok its all cool, im not here to make a profit, otherwise i would have charged hanyou the full price.

Im here to help members, and im sure i have helped many, therefore one day i will get help in return.

I think your mechanic has never installed gears before, all members have installed there's with no issues.

Do a search.

Probably posting in the wrong forum, but this may be of interest to other buyers. I've done a search, and haven't heard of anyone having problems installing the gear on the inlet cam, but this is what my mechanic wrote:

On a rb25 they have a cam advance set up on them VCT, this pulley and cam are different sizes to all other rb inlet cams and they dont make a gear to fit. The std pulley which contains the variable cam advance has an adjustment on the back which we have adjusted, You effectively have 2 vernier gears on your engine now.

Can anyone comment on this? My mechanic is well known for working on Skylines in Adelaide, so surprised that his views conflict that of skyline owners! But he is telling me he couldnt install the cam gear on the inlet cam, only the exhaust cam for the above reason. Thanks for any advice...

Could this be the answer to your problem(see below)

and as a quick reference

RB26 can have 2 wheels inlet exhaust

RB25 only needs exhaust

RB20 can have 2 inllet and exhaust.

No, i knew that RB25 only needs the exhaust for power gains, and changing the inlet cam gear will not give any additional power. But i still wanted to change the inlet for appearance, for when i put a clear cover on. And reading posts, the cam gear SHOULD have fit on the inlet side.

gears are in customs as of today, hope to have cleared in the next few days thanks

Whats the status of this GB?

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
