Cams?
Hey guys whats up?
I have just installed my Injen CAI, my Greddy SP2 is on its way as well. (brand new for $570.00 shipped ) Next week Y -pipe.....Im on my way!!
My question is. HAs anyone with a 6th gen done the cam upgrades??
I am considering the Nismo cams or the Stillen Version. I drove my buddies 350Z with cams....WoW what a difference. What are my advantages and disadvantages to doing this....other than 1500 bucks! to all who know something about this please chime in. Also does anyone know the duration and lift of the stock cams?

Price And Some People Were Telling Me That It Won't Fit.
Dunno.. If You Wanna Get Nismo RACING CAM. Then You Have To Get It For 350z. I Noe We Have Same Engine And All But Dunno.. Didn't Wanna Risk It Dis Time. Not With Cam Shaft Especially. So For Safety, I juss Went With Stillen Cams Cuz I Know It's Made For Our Car.
Deus.
My Headers Are Turning Out Great. No Problem Yet. My Timing Is Little Off From Installing All This Crap Such As Cai, Headers, And Etc. As Soon As I Get My Cams In, Imma Install Safc And Get In Tuned At Place Called Church's. And Get Dyno Show Numbers To Yall.

Where are you buying your y-pipe from? Are you going to install the racing pulley? That should be next. I have all of these installed in my car. I am waiting for headers to come out. I also have nitrous installed.
Good luck with the cams.

For teh $/gain amount, these would be the best, unless you have more $$ than brains.
When will that be?
Another thread of interest for more possible performance.

The pulley gives a little more HP. It doe not the system. I have not used the nitrous yet. I have to wait till spring to run it at the track.

How beneficial are the Pulley's. I do have a system in my car...will the amps be affected?

I like the pulley - ULTRA lightweight compared to the OEM...

FYI: us 5.5 gen guys have found that "upgrading" the cams actually doesn't do anything. Any hp you gain at the top end is lost on the bottom in torque. I wouldn't waist my dime on it.
That said, there is one guy who claims it made a difference (donkey), but nobody has seen dyno sheets to my knowledge.

So essentially you're waiting on nothing. You're good to go now.

You should have a minimum of one full tube of Ultra Grey or Nissan RTV available to you to re-seal these items. And it helps to have a die grinder with (blue) scotchbright wheels to clean off the old RTV. Then bead blast the rest of it if you have a blasting cabinet at your disposal.
So essentially you're waiting on nothing. You're good to go now.

Anyone know what the timeframe is to do a cam install? What is also the difficulty level on this? Are there any measurements or syncronizing that needs to be done to set them besides proper torque on bolts? Is there anything else besides the rod bolts that you can do while you already have this apart? Any insight would be helpful.

You're right.....I should call off my wedding right now, and spend all my money on my car.
