Best CAM GEARS ?

[MINES_DATSUN]

as topic says. ive got all the money to mod my car. i would like to know what are the BEST cam gears available on the market. is HKS any good?

[B-Man]

Depends:

HKS ones look the best - but I have heard they are soft.

UAS ones are best value (modified standard ones I think)

I have Tomei

They all work the same.

I just got a Greddy/Trust one from Nengun. These are the same ones that the WA guys have done 2 group buys on already.

Worked out to be $188.50 to my front door.

They seem to be built well, five screws securing it together etc..

I can't compare them to others as I'm never seen any others first hand.

STR ones are good. $170 each to your door in a few days.

[Farside]

guys is there any difference between GTR33 and GTS33 cam gears.

[BoOsTeD_RB26]

No,

The cam gears in question fit all RB series engines.

SteveSST where do we get these STR cam gears from

[Blitz]

Clint: UAS now stocks the STR's and they are significantly cheaper than the japanese branded equivilents.

$380 for the pair I believe

I find the HKS cam gears to a good job. 272 in/ex.

I would personally choose JUN if I had the cash.

U r getting confused with cam and cam gears. 272 in/ex is a cam.

Cam gears are just machined pieces of metal, better brand may be machined better but they all work the exactly the same way.

I sell STR stuff.

[T0nyGTSt]

I use OS Giken.

Cam gears are largely over-engineered. HKS are rumoured to be weaker but it's old wives' tales.

They are put under very little stress if you think about it and in all actually any metallic material should be able to put up with a rubberised belt.

The Giken is probably the best, drop forged and hard anodised but what is the point?

i found the toda ones been the best. the hks ones wear out due the material off the metal

[rs73]

Actually what I heard is HKS being soft is because it only have 3 bolts and if not tightened properly can slip and change the setting under high engine rev. Trust or Jun or Tomei I think have at least 4-5 bolts so it should be safer. But if tightened correctly, I'm sure HKS will do well.

LOL whoops, guess I should read post's more carefully next time.

And yes, I concur with your statement there.
