hey all..

i have been reading and searching.. both here and google..

now i have purchased tomei poncams for a s2 rb25det..

now i believe tomei classify the s2 poncams for the late 97model rb25 with the plastic cas..

so i have read u can mod the wires on the cas and fit the plastic cas on..

1- can the cas be modded to fit?

2- will the hks exhaust cam gear i got still fit on?

3- if i buy a inlet cam gear can i remove the vct (rb25 in a r32 running no vct from nisstune)?

cheers

ok well its not backwards for me atm...

im not running vct and it doesnt bother me..

so can i rewire the s3 cas? or should i sell the poncams and get s1 cams?

cant see it being an issue. I run R34 GTR's off R32 gtr ecus's....

Get two cam gears and spent some time on the dyno, you can get the cams to work well without vct as this dyno graph shows.

All the CAS does is tell the ECU where TDC is for each cylinder, and where each degree of crank rotation is. So, basically, a CAS is a CAS.

If you don't want to run VCT, simply leave the electrical connection off the VCT solenoid.

thanks status, i have a hks exh cam gear atm so ill hit up for a hks inlet to boot..
If you have bought RB25 Poncams for VCT than no you can not simply take the VCT off and put a cam gear on there. Why would you want to do that though, its a step backwards.

As I said above, you can not fit a normal cam gear to replace the VCT gear. The VCT gear and camshaft is special because it has a single bolt that goes into the centre of the camshaft. Cam gears have four small bolts that go into the camshaft, like on the exhaust side. So how are you expecting to fit it?

The main advantage a RB25 has over a RB26 is the VCT, so why would you not try and keep it if you can. If you allready have an ECU that doesn't support VCT just get an aftermarket controller to run it.

So really you only have a couple of options.

If you want to get rid of the VCT completely and fit an aftermarket cam gear, you need a different intake camshaft not made for VCT (RB20 or RB26).

If you are keeping that camshaft you either just leave it as it is without running the VCT or you get it running.

They are your options.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
