JWT cams are not worth the price or the amount of time it takes to install them. VQ35 cams would probably make the same power and you can buy a set of used ones from a 350Z owner who upgraded to Nismo cams, they require some modification to make them work in a 3.0L thou.

Yes, the VQ35 Altima, Maxima, 350Z, G35, etc. use the same cams until this years' Track/35th annivesary model 350Z supposedly.

VQ30ers need JWT cam sprocket spacers(~$80) and TILLEYS99 to drill the cam sprockets new dowel pin holes($??), however they can run *ANY* VQ35 cam.
Nobody has dynoed stock or aftermarket VQ35 cams in a VQ30 yet, so the jury is still out.

Nismo USA street cams = JWT = crap....

PhxBlue had JWT cams, but they never performed due to install issues.

I was going to do Tomei cams on my car, but I am saving up $$$ for some other things so thats out of the question for now. If I do come up with some spare $$$ for my car obsession I will sure to dyno and tune them to my liking with some dyno sheets-maybe posted on the .org.
