not that I know of. RB26 always remained the same AFAIK. the way to tell was the lil buldge on the left hand side of the cam cover, I've never seen one on a RB26 even off an R34.

heh...

I think every single person (with the exception of the thread starter possibly) has mixed up Variable VALVE Timing (VVT), Variable Valve Timing and Lift (VVTL) and Variable CAM Timing (VCT)

:(

HKS do make a VCT cam kit but it is very expensive (Andrew may dig it though!) - it was priced perhaps a fair amount more than say Jun cams.

I have not seen any car with it though besides HKS's own demo car and well... that's hardly independent.

If you believe the HKS spiel, response is greatly improved.

T.

well that pic is from Option mag, the car using it is a race car in Tsukuba. Basically the whole story was on V-Cams in this R32 GTR. Not tuned by HKS, was running HKS GT2540x2 Apparently it greatly improves the response of the car out of corners etc.

Its on Page 82 Option2 issue Jan 2004

What's the difference between VCT and VVT? Does one just change the duration and the other the opening time?

BTW I made a thread about this a while back but noone could help - does Nissan make ANY engines with variable timing, duration and lift? The SR20VET is the closest I've seen, but it doesn't seem to control the duration from what I can tell.

Cheers,

Michael

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
