Chad the idea of adjustable cam gears is to shift the power and as you can see below, SK only changes the EX gear and retards it approx 4 deg as a starting point.

I bought 2 JJR adjustable cam gears from Just Jap and should've only bought one so I have a spare gear if you're interested. The gurus interstate i.e. Duncan etc swear by the JJR gears.

Hi Rob, by retarding the exhaust camshaft timing I am aiming for more mid range, but I can get a bit of top end as well. There is also some faster spooling to gained as well. What it achieves is more complete combustion, before the exhaust valves open. Plus you get slightly higher combustion pressure, for more torque.

You don't get something for nothing though, it also means you get less overlap, the inlet valve isn't open at the same time as the exhaust valve for as long. This means the incoming inlet charge (air and fuel) doesn't help push the exhaust out. This is why it works well with a bit of extra boost (above standard) as that offsets the shorter "push" time.

cheers:

On inlet cam timing adjustment? Very little difference, not worth the effort.

Cheers

and check the 2nd page of this thread Re: JJR Cam Gears

and this JJR Cam Gears

................AND THIS

oh well, 3kw is as much power as a sneeze, not much difference :D

its 3 kw that would push you past 200rwkw mark wont it damo

plus it was a much much cleaner run

Hey guys, my mate try'd to upload that video onto his computer but he couldn't get it to work, maybe cos the camera is pretty old :D

i think the extra 3 kw was made be the water that was sprayed onto the intercooler on the last run.

Awesome, let me know what you want for it.

and they've still got their old prices listed......I think their next batch will be dearer due o the $AU.

Chad it's still sealed in the plastic wrapper, you can have it at the old price (what I paid for it) and save on freight too

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
