Hey guys, need a bit of insight.

Have a set of JUN cams for rb26, 260in 270ex with 9.5 lift each. Now I know if I put them in, I lose vct, I have tomei cam gears to go with them.

Along with a MOTEC m48 pro, nismo 740cc injectors, greddy inlet plenum, garrett 3037s.

I know rb26 heads run solid lifters, I have a couple rb26 heads sitting around, and also a complete rb26 that is being forged and thrown in down the track, but was wondering if I could run these cams in the 25 for the mean time? Would there be any dramas with the 25 having hydrolic lifters?

As I know this is the case with stock rb26 cams, just not sure if it's the same with aftermarket?

thanks!

pro being solid lifters, more rev happy more reliable valve actuation

cons are that the stock cams are very mild and no one offers regrinds or drop in solutions other then jap brands.

combustion chamber is also smaller... not sure if this is a pro or a con

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
