Hi all , someone here mentioned that R33's are set up so the overlap is closed up for idle then opens up till about 4700 and closes to reduce reversion .

I remember reading an article a few years back about JWT remaping an NA CA18 computer and noting that power fell off up near the red line . In this case the cams were opening up (reducing overlap) and the power falling off most likely to convince people to change up .

I'm wondering how alterations to an RB25DET ie mild cams and efforts to reduce "backpressure" are affected by the std cam changeover points . I'd reckon the change back up high would not do any favours if there was not a lot of exhaust manifold pressure in relation to boost pressure .

Has anyone played with the change points and gained anything worthwhile ?

Cheers A .

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
