Is It Worth Getting Adjustable Cam Gears?

[brada31ke70]

right, i have a 26/30 and was just thinking about getting some adjustable cam gears as i noticed when i put the cam belt on the marks on the pulleys did not line up perfectly.

has anyone else played around with this, did it make that much difference, what were the settings you ended up with, what is a good brand of adjustable cam wheels are good to use, i hear hks are not the best

i am more interested in differences on the road rather than the dyno,

any feed back will be greatly appreciated, thank you

i have GATES adjustable cam gears for my 25/30,running bigger cams aswell, have finished the motor yet so not sure on what improvements i will have.

We have adjustable cam gears on all of our Skylines. In each case they have improved bottom end and mid range performance that makes the car much more driveable out of corners.

just finished putting together a 26/30 hybrid for a friend and using adjustable gears we had to dial in nearly 4*cam retard on the intake and 4*advance on the exhaust to pull his stock cams back into spec as per oem nissan.

skimming the deck and head will throw cam timing off but the hybridization of the rb30 really does make it almost a requirement, lots of power to be had with the cams set properly.
