How much power do you want? Have you got a great suspension set up and good brakes?

For more power forget the cams and plenum and get E85 and turn up the boost (and get a top tune) and if that"s not enough upgrade your turbo.

Bigger cams will only move the power to the right on the graph. Yes there may be a tad more of it but you will loose a whole lot down low. Same goes for putting a different plenum on. So its a trade off. May be worth it, may not, depends on exactly what you want to do with the car.

Also note that if you upgrade to the wrong cams (generally anything massive) you will need to delete the VCT solenoid on the intake, which will also hurt low down torque and power. I think the HKS 256mm drop in does let you retain vct? (someone would have to confirm that) so that, or one tha tdoes, pretty much the only one you should realistically go with

I already have all that I'm using your turbo the atr45 externally gated.. I have a greedy Cooler and 3inch exhaust all the way through

I'm making 336rwkws on P98 fuel internally gated with exhaust dropped @ 22psi with the same turbo on stock cams, it is capable of making alot more then 300rwkws on P98 fuel with stock cams. There is a simple way of checking to see what you need. Take it back to the tuner to do a simple dyno run with exhaust dropped and do a pressure check across the cooler when its at full boost (check my thread). Also if you are running the JJR's 6 bolt Nissan front pipe, make sure the 6 bolt flange is die-grinded to suit factory dump pipe gasket.

If its showing its holding alot more boost that mades more power with dropped exhaust it means some thing in the exhaust is restrictive. Or if seeing 30psi before the cooler and 20psi after you will need a bigger cooler.

Having the bigger cams without the system been able to flow that extra bit of air, it will make absolutely no differences to peek power.

  • Stock Motor with (most likely) 350000km, based on wear and tear of interior, bushing etc.
  • Stock cams
  • Stock valve springs
  • Stock valve seals
  • Stock head
  • Stock head gasket
  • Stock bottom end
  • Stock intake manifold
  • Stock exhaust manifold with havoc gate modification

I run camtech 272 9mm lift while retaining vct still, picked up about 45hp over stock cams and didnt shift the rpm too much as i kept the vct still...

but it isnt a cheap upgrade bit over 2k, prob find cheaper upgrades to gain 50hp..

Nice.

But he needs cams and a bigger turbo because of this:

^^^^ Much better daily

:yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

I was thinking 30 bottom end but I already have forged Pistons and stuff in the 25.. E85 more boost would be good but don't have e85 in Wollongong where I live.. So cams was the optiion and maybe a plenum.. I will do what you said stao and I will look into it! Thanks guys appreciate the feedback!

Another question my tuner said he doesn't want to run more then 20psi on my car because it's on 98 it's safe tuned can I run more?

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
