Hey guys.

I'm having the cams fitted to my R34 GTT right now, and I've just been to have a look at it all going together. What I did see and what made me very interested, is that the standard VVT Inlet cam gear is actually adjustable from the factory.

However, it is only adjustable on the back of the gear, not the front.

My questions, is do you think I should make up the adapter to make it adjustable from the front and have a play on the Dyno??

BASS OUT

Geez anything else you want for $50? Foot rub? Just get some grub screws and tack weld nuts on the back of them. Voila. Adjust it from the front with an allen key. now someone pay me for my brilliant idea.

PS. You don't need marks on them. You aren't tuning an F1 motor.

I'm currently designing a plate to go on the back of the pulley to have a play with it.

Will be from routed aluminum and will have some sort of marking on it.

Price to come, but it wont be a lot.

Yeah or you could have a 6 mm plate with an ID and OD about 12mm apart so it sits in the back of the gear with tapped holes 90 degrees apart. Then all you have to do is drill out the VVT holes so they don't have thread in them and the plate on the back works just as a clamp for the VVt and gear and you have bolts at the front. i like my first idea better- its easier and simpler. And if you want markings they have to be scribed on the gear and VVT.

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps
    • All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4
    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
