when i asked in the n/a part i was asked "why i wanted to make my car into a racecar" because i want bigger cams

Dont listen to them. Cams are a personal thing some people love big cams, some people hate 'em. If you like the sound of an engine with bigger cams in it, then for an n/a engine with the mods your car alrady has on it, cams and tuning to suit are a logical step.

^^ agreed

its just proving a little hard too find cams to go in the r34 non turbo at the moment all i can seem to find is the ones for turbo.

Im not 100% sure on this but you might find your best bet is to go with r33 rb25det cams, and change the cam angle sensor drive in the front of the cam to suit your r34 cam angle sensor. Im pretty sure r34 turbo are solid cam, where as non turbo is hydraulic, so for simplicity if you stay with hydraulic cams from other rb25 engines, other than the cam angle sensor i think they should fit straight in (any one feel free to tell me if i've over looked something else). Im not sure what the assembled height of the valve spring on the non turbo neo is like compared to the turbo rb25, i wouldn't think it could possibly be any worse, so valve springs should to be able to be sorted one way or another.

If you add adjustable cam wheels, then the fact that they are "turbo cams" really should not matter, as long as the lift and duration are relatively larger than standard. Whoever tunes the car will be able to adjust the lobe seperation to suit n/a application with the cam wheels. For all intents and purposes, lobe seperation is the biggest difference between n/a cams and turbo cams, so with adjustable cam wheels, this is not such an issue.

Hope that helps, but like i said dont quote me on this. Im going on memory for all of it, and i may have overlooked something. But it would be a good place to start

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
