Hks Camshafts

[Jamie88]

Hey all, I bought some HKS 264 cams (2nd hand) for my rb25det and they arrived today. Now they came in their box's with original instructions etc. I have looked over both cams ten times and I cant find a HKS stamp ANYWHERE. This to me seems wierd for such a big branded camshaft to have nothing written on it. One camshaft has U2 stamped on it one has U3. Can anyone tell me if they had the same camshafts or how to tell if they are indeed aftermarked HKS cams??

Oh really?? Ive seen some marked hks, and was just having a read of different forums of people with my same concern. As my stock camshafts are still in the car I have nothing to compare them with.... anyone know how im going to tell?

[Angus Smart]

i could be wrong.

i know all the tomei cams i've had dont have tomei on them..

[Jamie88]

Hmmmm...

Can anyone add to this??

[nIsMo86]

I can agree on the tomei ones...No tomei stamp on mine either. They just look a bit chunkier than the stock ones.

Yes HKS cams have HKS stamped one them for RB25's.

These are my old ones.

So your thinkin they should all have Stamps???

Well mine did. I had 256/264 RB25 cams, if you have the same and they dont have stampings then i would assume you got rickrolled.

Call the dude and ask him, atleast the HKS ones have markings so you know, with the Tomei ones they dont have shit, so you put them in hoping you have the right ones.

Here's a question for you, on the stock camhafts, near the cam gears, you can put a spanner on it. On the HKS ones you can do the same thing half way down, the stock ones have nothing. Do yours have these?

Nope mine have nothing like that...its at the end where the cam gear is....and the part of the shaft in between the lobes (where your hks is printed) is concaved on one side all the way down....whereas yours looks solid

Mine didn't have HKS stamped on them, but they did have 264 on them.

Hmm interesting, the stock ones have the concave....

How do I change my file type? I wanna add a picture that I made

[Mr. Keets]

MS Paint. Save as, choose the desired type

[Jamie88]

Ok worked it out. Here is my description of what the cam looks like. I daresay these are standard 25det cams..... Hopefully he just boxed the wrong ones.... somehow I doubt it

[murrayis]

The HKS cams I had did not have HKS stamped on them and now my TOMEI cams also don;t have any branding stamped on them.

Ahhhh you serious? Did they have the concaved bit between the lobes?? (like in my pic) What car were they for??

[Jamie88]

Ive just searched two different forums and they both said Genuine HKS cams will have HKS stamped on them. Who can confirm this? Im pretty sure theyd have something on them being such a massive Brand. One camshaft should say HKS and one should say 264 apparently.
