Consider they are the OEM item for a fairly well tuned OEM motor (R34 n1). Going to an enormous cam would be futile in a search for gains.

Consider again that they are well within the motors factory scope and a cost benefit analysis will begin to form.

Ultimately when wouldn't a ported head and the right cams be good? I say if your really serious about maxing out what you've got you should look harder at step 1 based cams and relax on the dreams of expensive port jobs. Be it myself I would run a set of gears as it seems the forum has proved they are a bang for buck performer.

step 1 cam size can be seen as 25x or milder 26x variants.. GL

Sell cams, buy cam gears and save the difference. Or if the cash is burning a hole in your pocket post details of your setup and we'll suggest something much more useful to spend it on.

well what i have got a the moment is the cams ported head 550cc injectors new r33 cranck stock rods, n1 piston 1mm o/s. cam gears n1 oil pump -7 turbos .arp bolts .. this engine was a stillway built engine but when i pulled it done every thing was stuffed and it was running a t88 turbo.. any ideas on what would be a good combo for these -7 turbos ...and would any one want to buy these greddy 272 degrees cams???

Dyno, I've also driven both cars on the street afterwards.

Both got to within 4rwkw of each other at 8000rpm (both around 305rwkw), the one with tomei cams is all over the OEM cam'd one until about 5500/6000rpm (from memory, may be slightly less, i dont have the dyno sheet here) where they are then dead even until redline.

very interesting.. finally someone with real results for poncam b on GTR, I've been on the fence as most say it's not worth the money vs result and stock works well

were they dialled in or left at zero?

    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
