Has anyone done before/after dyno with this exhaust cam gear yet?

Is an aftermarket ECU 'required' for these or is it only an 'advantage' ?

I'm looking for little things to get me up over 210rwkw on the Std ECU/Turbo and this looks like the next step.

Whats the typical cost to have these installed + tuned at a dyno shop ?

Edit: I was also liking the rice factor of the HKS Purple+Blue :P

Hi Guys, I bought a set of Jun adjustable cam gears on the forum a few weeks ago. They appear to be standard Nissan GTR pulleys with the centre machined out and replaced with a steel adjuster. If they are standard Nissan teeth they will obviously last as long as they would unmodified, provided the centre line of the adjuster is lined up properly during the machining process. They have 5 adjuster bolts which should provide more than sufficient retention.

UniqueAutosports sell modified standard pulleys for $185 each for the standard weight and $195 for the lightweight ones. So, as long as they have the same accuracy of centring there should be no problems with theirs either.

If you are not looking for looks (the HKS ones do look trick) or extreme lightweight, these are viable options.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't bother loosing the VVT until over 250rwKW, and use the cam gears in conjunction with better cams.

Steve, Thanks for the link, what would the postage be? I have worked it out before, and the group buy idea is better as only one postage cost is needed.

The following table indicates the shipping costs to Zone 2, which includes Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and any country in Europe. For other countries, please contact [email protected]

Base rate (up to 1 kg) ¥3990

For each 500g more than 1 kg ¥525

Works out at about $55AUD for the first kg (ouch), but $14.50 for every kg there after, which is a bit better.

when were you thinking of getting these? Soonish I hope. I'm after 1 (for now - maybe 2 later), and wouldn't mind jumping on the group buy bandwagon

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

Can you find out the weight of the cam gears, plus are there any additional taxes that need to be pay for goods coming into Australia?

I can buy them whenever, just trying to find somewhere which is cheaper than I can get them here.

Not too sure about taxes, have you had a chat to customs. From most of the feedback I have read, it seems that if it is under $1000AUD they dont seem to worry a heap - never know for sure though. I did get my turbo through, but the guy at the other end put it down as about $380AUD - they opened it for inspection, but didnt hit me any duty.

I will drop them a line, and ask about quantity for group discount and unit weight.

Steve

so on a car with a big turbo (like a HKS 3040) and the usual other mods like fuel pump, injectors, engine management (I have HKS FCONV, VPC and PFC-FCON), exhaust, intercooler. Would it be worth removing the VVT and getting a cam gear for both inlet and exhaust? It's an RB25DET, and what sort of cams should i go for? 256 Duration and 8.8mm lift? or bigger, to something like 264 duration and 9mm lift? What would the difference be between the two cams?

I'm liking the sound of the Toda gears myself! The top end power is pretty good so i'm more after some street usable mid-range at this stage. I've also read on the other CAM thread that you might be able to get the inlet cam slotted to allow adjustment and still keep the VVT.... is this true or not worth it?

Thanks

Andrew

GiJOR33,

With a setup like that, then yes I'd do both cam gears. Sounds like a similar setup to what I'm going for.

Cam's I'd go for the 264's, but the 256's are also very good.

Yes, it is possible to slot the existing gear, but the VVT doesn't have sufficient impact to make it worthwhile doing at big horsepower.

See'ya:burnout:

A guy at work machined out the centres of my steel gears and replaced them with adjustable alloy centres (which he made as well). They allow +/- 4 degrees adjustment and only cost me $17 for the materials and a slab for the labour.

Guys go to a machining company with a design and all your standard gears in bulk and it will cost you **** all to get them modify.

Why buy wanky brand name gear? It doesn't make your car go any faster and it costs a fortune.

Pawley, I think the UAS ones are made exactly the same way as Rowdyr32's are. That would mean they have like a $150 markup on them. Which I guess isn't over the top, but if you look around enough you can probably get it done cheaper (let's all ask Rowdyr32's mate if he wants to do some more for us ;))

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
