What are the best cams to get in our vq35de will 350z cams fit and which brand, nismo, brian crower, tomei, jwt, or which brand? What are the fitment issues?!

 

I've heard that Jim Wolf make great cams for the Maxima's.

 

Really, would u notice the difference from stock cams right away?

How do those perform?

More power throughout the entire powerband

 

yup...sure does
h3LL yea...i use to have Brian Crower stage 2 in my 5.5 gen with a technosquare ecu...as soon as 4500rpm hit it use to pin me to the seat
waste of time

 

HR or JWT. Everything else will be a rip and the company producing them wouldn't know half as much as Nissan and JWT

 

................who told u that ...it honeslty sounds like u speaking out of the side of your azz

 

fully bolted , cattman 3", technosquare ecu and Brian Crower Cams

So BC cams are well worth the money? And would u have to replace the valves and springs too?

HR cams are a good cheap way to get your foot in the door.

 

Hr cams are good I'm If I'm going all motor?

What performance parts do you have on the car currently right now.....

 

I have STILLEN pulley, kinetix manifold, short ram weapon r intake. And that's it. Lol and u?

Getting cams is great but if you can port the heads and get better valve springs etc. so you can rev higher and take even more advantage of the cams that would be nice with that intake manifold. Enjoy.

 

Awsome I'm looking at some tomei cams for a vq35hr and the spring and valves from Brian crower what do u think? Will I have fitment issues?

I may have those for sale too. VQ35HR Tomei Poncams 264* 10.8

 

How much and where are u located?

SMH I think you need to do a little more research on this before you buy. Cams are a HUGE investment.....basically have to take the entire engine out (if you want to do it right) very labor intensive. What are you going to use to tune???? Are you tuned now?

 

yea....they are...i would choose jwt 1st and BC 2nd....you dont have to change the valve springs and retainers if you are not revving past 7200 rpms
waste of time and money for a little bit or if any gains....just spend the money right and get it done the first time. Everybody keep preaching about the rev up cams or HR whatever in our car but i have yet to see some dyno comparison
waste

 

I'm not tuned at all,

And quite honestly I don't know what direction to head towards that

I'm just thinking about cams jus for the reason that I got a 350z rev up oil pump, I need to change the plugs, and I got a new timing chain cause I think one of the tensioners is bad cause I hear a small tick when I let go of the throttle sometimes so since Ima do all that minus well take advantage and add some cams.

You really need a proper tune to take advantage of cams....get your tuning situation straight FIRST then decide on cams. Also with any tuning solution you get find one that allows you to tune the cam timing, ignition and fuel. A waste putting cams in on stock cam timing....stock cam timing SUCKS!!!

I thought it depended on the lift of the cam too? I thought with the higher lift and longer duration cams the stock valve springs cant keep up and may float? I may be wrong.....

 

So I should tune before the cams go in, or after I'm kinda confused about that.

u sir are correct. ive never seen how much lift maximas can run before encountering ptv issues. but lift and duration are major concerns as well as ramp profile.

if you are determined to put some cams in, you need to discuss this with the cam manufacturer. they will have all the supporting parts needed and the knowledge you are looking for. here you will find 99% educated guesses, which may help, or may cause catastrophic failure. not insulting the members here, but i dont expect many people to have personal experience installing cams in maximas. u do NOT want to f this up

 

Sounds good but my main concern is all cams for vq35de say for 350z and g35s are they identical to ours and will they bolt right up?

Sent from my iPhone using MaximaOrg

 

the cam manufacturer can answer that as well. im sorry, im not trying to be short with you, but just get it straight out of the horses mouth, instead of from someone who is parrot'ing an answer they read before

 

The. Bad thing is that I've asked before and they told me to do research lol so I'm lost

Sent from my iPhone using MaximaOrg

 

someone whose job is to sell parts told u to go do ur research? dont know if thats good or bad. they should want your money, and not sure if i believe they truly want you to make an informed decision.

...call their competition?

 

Yea to me I thought they where rude but they ain't getting my money lol.

You cant just put cams in and not tune....

 

Right cause I won't get the correct power off of them.

Talk to moncefa33 he knows his stuff and has a fully built vq35de with jwt cams 12.5 compression I think. He made the 5th gen tuning thread in the stickies read it.

 

Lol you 'could', you'd just regret wasting the money

 

It's like 12.0 lol. JWT S1 is good.

 

Not to take anything away from Ceffy, but hat thread is more toward electronic tuning.

Check the AM forum for cam talk. http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor-61/

The answer to the question you asked does not exist. You need to you ask yourself what you want first.


Cams, there's a balance, so asking "what are the best", simply screams you need to do a LOT more research/reading.

Go do some homework.
