Anyone got an RB25/Rb26 adjustable cam gear not on their car (or easily accessible on their car) that we could use as a guide?

Just trying to see whether an RB25 adjustable cam gear would fit on an RB30? If anyone knows the answer to this question without having to stuff around, please tell us :cheers:

IF not, anyone want to offer the services of their cam gear so we can measure it?

I am under instructions from my mechanic not to take my cover off to match it up cause it will stuff the ignition timing.. so I'm after some help from you guys :cheers:

.. although I really don't know whether I should be helping out VL owners .. who should have bought a *skyline* :cheers: (I feel dirty and violated)

yes.. exactly same thickness.. teeth pattern and bolt holes.. couldn't be closer match.. 10 years, one camgear design - i like it.

you should have no problems with the adjustable..

(now I'm going to have to wash my dirty hands :cheers: )

nah.. its all same .. i put it right next to it.. I should have taken a photo but I was lazy. If you are still unconvinced you can borrow my spare one and compare them side by side yourself.

I knew RB20 and RB26 exhaust side was same, was never sure whether it went far back as RB30's. This was a non-turbo SOHC head btw, it's possible on a VLT head its different (the stock cam is slightly different on them between n/a and turbz)

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
