Please explain how the VTC system on the VE30DE works. And how it's possible to fit an adjustable cam gear on the intake cam. Seems sorta difficult given the huge size of the unit. And seems sorta redundant as the VTC is ecu controlled adjusted. I don't know if you really want to add xx degrees to the already approximately +/- 8 degrees of adjustment it already has.

I want CAMS. I actually want my idle to be sounding pretty. Cams can get so dang expensive since we have to replace like 10 of them. haha Can't I replace one at a time?
But seriously, I would get cams if they can be bought from $1000 or less.. all 4. But I might need to get them custom made. In fact, I'm sure i will... UNLESS... hmm... z32? I have research to do.

from what I hear, z32 VTC's are way different than ours (which makes sense, lol). I dont think z32 cams are going to work. 
I'd go for a set of cams, I'd just need to sell one of my computers

I would probably need to get mine custom made reguardless. Unless the aftermarket z32 cams are the perfect size.

Or are you referring to something else?
Well put it this way. You have two choices here.
1) Remove the Varible Timing Cam assemblies and install some "adjustable" sprockets. How "adjustable" are these now? Once you set it, your stuck with that setting.
2) Leave the oem assemblies in. How many settings do you have now? Two right?
So within your definition, which has more adjustment?
3) Would be to somehow make the oem assemblies "adjustable". Given the dia. and width restrictions, I don't see that happening. Along with knowing how much adjustablity you safely have beyond the stock 8-9 degrees. Too much and the intake/exhaust valves will want to occupy the same place.

I can't say I know much about this. But it sounds like cams are a better way to do this. I've looked into several companies that might be able to regrind your stock cams. And maybe some that can grind you some out of new Nissan ones. The latter method should prove better results since you have more options in the specs. Here are some good links I found in my research:http://z31.com/cams.shtml

Jeff, I wasn't totally talking to you. I am just sharing any information I may have with the world. Like I always do.
