Ok I've taken a few months off racing to clean up the 1200 and upgrade a few things. I plan to swap out the GX cam for a slightly hotter Cam. So anyone no of any shortcuts? I'm being lazy the car runs awesome but well the whooping 85 hp is less than exciting.

Hey rally'!

Where abouts in NZ did you get that cam?

I guess this particular cam spec' is for rally only?? Could you recommend a good street spec 1 ?

Cheers

Short cuts to installing a new camshaft? Or tips on what's the hot cam? If you are in GT5, do they limit which cam profiles you can use?

have a look at Tighe Cams website. They're in Brissy, but it will give you an idea of what you're after.

Howdi Rallytwit,

Give Jeff from JTS Performance
((02 9623 8826)) a buzz, he can tell an easy way if there is one, the better thing is that he can tell you what cams work with what, worth the call....

Cheers
Peddler

'Guess I should have clarified - Short cut on changing it. I konw I'm going to have to pull the motor out and I'm hoping to leave the cylinder head on. I have a Schnieder cam that was never installed. I do have an option 1 and option 2 cam from Nissan but those don't do a whole lot for the engine life , not to mention I do not have an ultra close gearbox in the car.

It's worth a try you should be able to take the rocker gear off then the pushrods out then turn her over and push the cam followers down or up if you know what I mean and slip it out and then the new one in. The followers might be a bit hard to get to go down far enough so you might have to give the old cam a fast spin to knock them down. Its worth a try you have got nothing to lose.

hmmm... the A-series being a pushrod engine has lifters rather than OHC-style followers.

I haven't changed a cam on an A, but my book says "Turn the engine updside down to prevent the valve lifters from obstructing camshaft removal" ...
