Hi,

Looking for some help with cams... I've just bolted up a GT3076 A/R 0.6 with internal gate to my RB25 series 1 and I have a pair of Tomei Poncams 256 degree 8.5mm lift I would like to drop in. I'm not looking to get any real power gains from them, but just to move the powerband round, for more response and and earlier spool up, would these cams be adequate for the job? The cams came with the option VCT retained, what is this about and is there any tutorials or DIY's on instalment of these cams?

The job itself is fairly straight forward if you have good mechanical skills. Download the RB25 engine manual and there is a section that covers cam swaps. Just follow that.

I see your located in Townsville.. Any good tuners you could recommend?

I fit Tomei Type-B's to my 26 a little while ago.

Some things you might like to know...despite what others might say, I got the motor to TDC and zip tied the cam gears to the belt, the gears are a little tricky to get back on doing it this way when reassembling but its def do-able. Removing and reinstalling the cams is easy enough, just unbolt the caps in the factory sequence and do the same when refitting, be very careful when retorqueing the cam cap bolts and use a small 1/4 Drive inch/lb torque wrench or similar, they are piddly little 6mm bolts and are very easy to over torque and snap!...You will likely need to replace the cam seals, its worth doing if they havent been done even if you get them off without damaging them at all. Use sufficient assembly lube on the cam lobes, lifters etc.

If youre not at all mechanically minded, I wouldnt take this on yourself, you'll need a timing light etc once youre done to check timing. Good luck.

Yeah I would recomend winding it back abit from top dead centre that way theres no chance of the valves hitting cylinder 1 or 6 as they can be abit tricky to keep straight when putting the first few cam brackets on. Doing the springs would be a good idea to save you from having to open it up again.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
