About one millimeter, which is a 10% increase over 4th gen.

 

By the way, the "Links to threads with useful information" sticky has a link to a thread with cam info.

 

VQ30 valve springs per the FSM are slightly stiffer then VQ35 valve springs most likely since the VQ35 valve train is lighter.

 

ok I got a little lost in the talk of all the other brands, what happened here was that you took 3.5 cams and put them in a 3.0 and modified the cam gear? and the only other thing you needes was the spacers right?

 

Would the 3.0 cams in the 3.5 heads be too restrictive for the 3.5? Also this would be no drilling if you used the 3.0 timing gears and cover, making the full 3.5 a drop in right?

 

i got my 350z cams in today, and i call good old JWT to order my spacers. and they tell me they will not sell me them. because they are not intended for a person like me. they will only sell them to a race team who knows what they are doing. WHY ARE THEY SUCH @SS H@LES!!!!!!! Tilley how did you get the spacers from them?

 

^^ I thinks its another reason than that. I mean, why would they care what you do with them? right? They are making money on it so why back out of a sale? Either they found out something wrong with them, or they don't want to deal with customers that return to them for technical support.

 

Since when did people start racing Pathfinders? LOL.

Such fuktards...

Someone needs to duplicate these....

 

Someone give me the dimensions and I'll make them.

 

Only two reasons I can think of are:
1)They don't make much on them, so they don't want the hassle.
or
2)They want to force VQ30s to buy their cams.

 

Looking at these pictures, and comparing a VQ30 cam with a VQ35 cam (which I have) I could probably come up with the right dimensions. Anybody have a spare VQ30 cam they could take measurements on, or better yet, send me it? I'll buy it if you want to sell it cheaply.

 

P.S. Thanks to Japmaxse for the pics.

 

I cannot seem to find the definant answer to this, but is there any modification needed to correctly install VQ30 cams into a VQ35 head? (visa versa of this thread)

 

vq30 cams in the vq35 would be stupid. And the other way around, look at the picture and you can see the small spacer.

 

Pretty sure he meant JWT VQ30 cams.

 

Vq30 cams in a vq35 head would supposedly be the easiest way to swap in a full 3.5, right? And even with vq30 cams in the vq35 head, it would still flow more than a full vq30 head, correct?

 

I ordered the last set of spacers from them today. They will only sell them too a performance shop though. they are crazy expensive though

 

Since you need to use spacers to make them work, wouldn't the dowel pins have to be longer for the slot on the main intake cam sprockets to fit onto them?? Or are the VQ35 cam dowel pins longer than the 4th gen cams?

 

so lets get these spacers made asap because i have a motor build waiting on this stupid spacer!

 

All you need is Tilley to take some measurements for StephenMax or I'm sure Tilley is planning on marketing his own copies.

I still can't believe JWTs BS. I'm sure Cattman could arrange to buy sets of these from JWT, however NOW I'd rather see a member make the money over JWT.

 

JWT is ghey, I bought my HS headers from them due to the sale for 529 plus free shipping. I asked the homie who took my order bout the free shipping, he said yeah its good. I get the bill and I got charged 30 bux for shipping.... I was going to call n b!tch but I figured they going to just give me some kinda credit on something. I don't ever intend to buy anything from them unless its a really good deal, like free JWT stickers :P

 

Hey could somebody please answer my question?

:attention

 

PM Japmaxse. He would know.

 

Can someone answer my question too?

 

If it takes a spacer to properly position the VQ30 cam timing gear on a VQ35 cam, then it probably takes the opposite to position a VQ35 cam timing gear onto a VQ30 cam. That is, you might have to remove material to get the position right.

 

Yes the 3.0 pins are long enough.

 

You mean 3.5 right??

 

i prefer that also...

 

Alright Tilley...are you going to produce these?

If not, can you help Stephen out?

 

I'll be sending Stephen Max a cam over the weekend/beginning of next week so he can take measurements.

 

That's fine/great, but I'd think it would be easier and maybe more exact if he had the spacer to model.

Just thought Tilley could help....

 

How much of a gain will a 4th gen 3.0 gain by going to 3.5 cams? Also how hard is it to install the cams?

 

I don't think anybody has verified it. Japmaxse's butt dyno liked it. Lift is 10% more with the VQ35 cams.

Installation requires removing the inner and outer timing covers and timing gears. Count on a day to do it.

 

Well he has a hybrid motor, I was wondering more on stock 4th gen 3.0. Wonder how much tilley would charge to install them.

 

Bad news guys I went to the dyno today and I told the guy about my tranny slippage he drove it down the block then I guess he didn't think it would be a good idea and suggested that I wait till the 5spd is in and then dyno it. Oh well a few more months and will see, till then more moding.

 

Do youself a favor and do it as soon as possible. You will love it.

 

Just to add to what Stephen Max already said, you have to remove both oil pans as well which means the crossmember and y-pipe have to come out. Then there's the power steering pump and bracket that needs to be removed and the A/C compressor. If this is your first time doing this and you'll be working alone, give yourself a weekend as a cushion. Just take your time making sure the timing chain is aligned with everything before you close everything back up.

 

I will be making the spacers as soon as i get the JWTs in the mail.

 

I knew it...thanks for answering Tilley.

 

But my plan is to use VQ30 cam gears with the VQ30 cams, in a VQ35 head, ofcourse along with the VQ30 front and rear timing covers. Do-able? Tilley?
