[Adz2332]

Ok now i know ull say search but alot of things goes over my head.

Im about to spend a bit of cash on my GTR and im just after a little advice on wheather im doing the right thing or not and getting the best bang for my buck.

I have a GTR R33

Mods

Trust intercooler

3 1/2 Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

Just Jap front pipe

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

Blitz PODS

Oil Catch Can

Now im thinking (Ive read and have thought these sounded the best for price) of getting these

Power FC and Controller $ 796

Greddy PRofec B Spec II $ 336

HKS Cam Gears $ 324

Total $1456

Plus tune of course.

Would that all go well together??? Any thing you would change etc....

Advice would be great!

Yeah I wouldn't buy HKS cam gears. I would get a different brand.

why not HKS?????

[djr81]

Try a search. The tooth section of the cam gear wears very quickly because it is soft aluminium.

Also whilst you are arsing about with the gears change the belt & think about changing the water pump.

lol... and the idler/tensioners etc etc..

the old "while your doing..." routine...

[Adz2332]

what cam gears would you recommend.

[monga]

profec b

[Adz2332]

what cam gears would you recommend.

TODA cam gears

[Adz2332]

TODA?

HKS recalled their soft c.gears yeeears ago. (5+) The outer gear ring is made from Duralium now. Besides their gaudy too ne- way The OS G gears were cheap, but with the dollar, all the Trust / Tomie ones, seem to be around the same'ish price now. I would think c.gear choice is fairly a muchness.

How many Km's has it done? Before boosting, pulling fuel out, and ignition in, you should preform basic maintenance as above.

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

... and i wouldn't do shite, till you confirm you have steel wheels.

a little bit down.

Not as pretty as the other makes though, but use a better metal

[rev210]

I like the HKS ones, only 3 allen keys to muck about with

[paulr33]

dont bother with cams and djetro on a mild GTR

waste of time, effort and $

stick with standard powerfc and just get a set of cam gears

this will give you the best gains

[rev210]

If you have steel wheel turbos even better and a good idea to get some cams along the way.

Jump onto a set of Tomei type A cams. 260 intake and 256 exhaust. Big gains to be had.

Even on stock GTR turbo's, they smack the stock cams even with adjustments, as I have proven on my old GTR with the Tomei 260's.

[Beer Baron]

agreed. and for the gears either tomei or trust have my vote. and I own both types! one on each RB26.

[Adz2332]

The budget doesnt streatch to cams... yet....

But does that sound like a solid start? Havent over looked anything?

Should all go well together?

As long as i get over 250kws for now i will be happy... should get there?

[Angus Smart]

Go out with a torch and try view the serial numbers located between the turbos housings (on the rusty looking center core) jot down anything you can see.

normal Power fc, and boost controller are always going to be a good start.

i think you'd get that figure your after with just them if the turbos are what you believe them to be.

[Adz2332]

so if i look from under the bonnet down between them i should see something?
