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.

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.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
