Hi Guys.

I've got a S2 Stagea with 88,XXXkms.

It's had a rebuilt and flowed R33 T25 put on, running a fmic and full 3" turbo back exhaust.

Pretty standard stuff.

Looking at replacing the cams and gears.

I've been recommended about 272 degree with about 8.5mm lift.

I've been quoted about $1100 to have them made to whatever specs I want so I wanna get it right.

I'm not looking for anything too agressive.

I'm looking for an earlier spool and better response.

Anybody out there that could help me out before I go blowing my $$$.

PM me or post a reply.

Cheers

Jason.

If you'r running pretty standard stuff then there is no real reason to change your cams. However if you fill the need i would advice at getting cams which allow you to still run VCT. If i remember correctly only 2 brands offer this (HKS and tomei).

Also 272 is too big, if anything i would advice a 256. off the shelft j-spec cams will cost you around the same price so i would advice going with something that is try and tested

The fact someone reccomended those cams is also a bit of a worry.

If they are suggesting 272's i would highly be questioing their skyline knowledge as you do NOT want to lose VCT for a street car.

stock ftw, lots of RBs doing big performance on stock cams.

get an exhaust cam gear and dial it in 3-4 degrees retarded, as stipulated in many threads u will find.

+1 for management and fuel pump, very very important

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
