Gotta machine rb26 head to fit anything 10.2 mm lift or bigger.

Tomei drop the base circle of the cam shaft so that overall diameter of the camshaft including the lobe is with in the head. The diameter goes from 32 to 30mm, the solid lifters that they supply are larger so that it contacts the smaller shaft. This way you can get more lift without machining the head. Of course I am welcome to being corrected if there is anyone here with TOMEI procams with high lift..

Yorik - I know of a local car running exact same setup as me but with 10.8mm lift 260 Procams, not sure on power output, but these cams obviously need modification/machining of the head to accomodate...

Be interesting to see your results....

The car I'm talking about here is ph1's old car, sold to a guy in Melb, which had 346rwkws... But that was tuned around 3 years ago, Ben (Racepace) has learnt a lot more since then!!!!

Great work Jack :)

Missing the DECA weekend you could say was worth it indeed.

Heard rumours of some good numbers ;)

PS: thanks for actually getting evidence of what i was saying about shootout ;)

makes some figures debateable when people swear by em

Very nice power figure, i have seen a similar setup here is sydney with the T517's making 360 kw, simple setups are the best.

I am also keen on finding out about the cam timing as i already have a set of poncams installed but they are still set at 0. since the car is going back on the dyno soon it would be some handy info ;)

So these brought the car on boost quicker did they(quicker spoo; time, less lag)?? Or did they just bring on power quicker while the car was on boost? Looking for cams to allow for boost to start earlier in the rev range, dont like lag much....

I haven't really checked exactly when I get full boost now, but it used to be around 5000rpm. But I did see full boost at about 4800rpm in the quick drive after the dyno tune, but it may be earlier, its a bit hard to look at the boost gauge, rev tacho and road at the same time when giving it stick in 2nd gear on the streets... Might have to check it out next time on the track where I can try in the higher gears....

Also Ben (Racepace) said they came on slightly earlier according to the old graph, which I'm still trying to find...

True, your car would have broken down after a few 100 km's. :D

Jack

Next time out at Sandown you should be in the low 1.20's coz u got the power, brakes, suspension and cheater tyres.

The car's definetly got the potential, its just the driver needs more experience!!!

Interloper - that was the point in showing the different modes, so in future when somebody puts up a dyno graph you can have a more accurate idea of what power it's really pushing...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
