Hey guys,

The cylinder head on my 26/30 is currently quite loud, so I will need to buy new shims for it.

The cams are GREX 272 cams, can't find too much info on them. When checking the clearances with a feeler gauge, can I just go off the factory rb26 clearances? Or will I need to know the Greddy specific clearances?

Cheers for any help.

Clearances can be hard to find. I had a contact in JP have a look for me and he came up with the specs (Apexi in this case) pretty quickly. Might be worth a try if you know anyone over there - importers for example. My cams are quite large and the specs are pretty much identical to factory, whereas Jun specify much tighter numbers for cams with similar lift/duration.

In most cases you can run with the std clearances and it should not pose any problems. We have been using kelford's and all the cams we have had from them, varying sorts over the years, all stated about 0.010" on inlet and 0.012" on exhaust.

I guess all you can do is see what you actually have first and go from there.

Is the rest of the valve train standard Nissan? Its only the cams that are aftermarket?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
