We have a shipper that is from out west that has taken care of a few of our customers cars.

What is the cost of the shipper?

The other huge selling point is state side customer support, I realize this does not have an impact on you. But JWT has been tremendous to work with, and takes very good care of their customers via quick support and a vast knowledge of the VQ platform. JUN is very hard to communicate with here in the US, so its a hard product to support with any questions that need to be answered.

I absolutely agree with your comment about JWT - they are very helpful folks and get back with responses quickly.

Im on the nissan website trying to find these cam buckets. Could you please navigate me to the part number so i can go to my dealership and purchase these.

The Base part # is 13231-EY00, but you need to measure and get the correct size. We normally just spec them out when we build the heads and order them.

Elmo370z 03-07-2016 10:42 AM

Ok gotcha, guess I'll just wait then. Thank you

Elmo370z 04-10-2016 05:11 PM

Any updates on the stage 2 cam?

I called JWT and asked about the timeline for stage 2 cams last week and they said (and this is paraphrasing): its set to be looked at later this year but is not something I would hold your breath for to be released within this year. In a nut shell they were very vague and noncommittal to a time-frame, and that's understandable. They said they haven't started development but have plans to do so this year. And that's all understandable as we all know how we get when we are told a date then it takes longer.

What I pulled from the phone call was "if your planing on pulling the engine this year and want cams the ones that are out are the ones you get. If your not committed and want to wait a year, give or take, we 'should' have a stage 2 by then."

Stage 2 is planed to be more aggressive and get the most they can get from the VHR. I asked if it was to be cut with more intention of being a FI cam or for NA and they said they wanted it to benefit both equally and not be bias more towards one than the other when it comes to it.

So... take from that what you will.

Do you know who you spoke with? As some of this info is not correct.

Elmo370z 04-15-2016 10:23 AM

Mmmmm darnit. Well ill i don't mind the wait, as my build will occur at some point in time next year. If they don't come out guess ill just go with the bp turbo kit

I don't recall the gentleman's name. A lady answered the phone, I asked to talk to someone about the VQ37VHR cams; I was put on hold and then a guy answered and we conversed for about 20 minutes about them.

Which info is incorrect?

Copes370z 04-17-2016 05:21 AM

The gains would be nice, but seems like a tough sell for roughly $3500 dollars ($2500 labor + $1000 gestimate for cams).

$2500 for labor? Is Jesus himself doing the work?

100.00 an hour shop time is reasonable.

25 hours is completely unreasonable. Any Nissan dealer should be able to drop and reinstall a motor in 8 hours. That's how some dealers and shops install headers.

Not sure why they need 17 extra hours

synolimit 04-17-2016 01:43 PM

Its 20hrs for motor pull or 10hrs to just install with motor already pulled. So $1800 at the cheapest for these. I do agree though i could beat 10hrs to drop it easy. Specially mine that has no evap lines etc and easy access.

I was'nt referring to the hours but the rate. If they said 25hrs then 2500.00. And installing cams is'nt as simple as dropping the motor and slapping them in. I had JWT S2's in my Titan and that whole process was a nightmare.

Elmo370z 04-17-2016 07:04 PM

Most people don't understand the complexity of the cam install on these heads

I found out the hard way insisting that my lash be set to exact spec. Inatall cams , check lash cold, un install cams , order 32 more cam buckets at $18.00 each from 3 different dealers due to different sizes. Wait 6 days then re-install cams, recheck lash and button up.

Elmo370z 04-17-2016 09:31 PM

Thats awesome.you installed it yourself. How many hours, 30?

derraj06 04-18-2016 10:36 AM

I know MA Motorsports quotes 20 hours to install a set of cams. That's via dropping the engine. For the work involved in both the engine drop and cam install, that's not unreasonable to me. I'm looking forward to seeing more data on both sets of cams.

Elmo370z 04-18-2016 02:55 PM

That is where i'm going to get my cams and heads worked on, if the stage 2 cam ever comes out that is

They are coming out. Don't worry about that. I have faith JWT will come through. MA Motorsports is awesome to work with. I talk to Daelen almost daily.

Has anyone added these to a car with full bolt-ons already? Just wondering what kind of gains they got and how it affected the manner of the car?

Hope to find out this weekend if the car is done. i have everything except headers. Before cams I'm 320/265 running 12.7@109.

How do you like the 4.08's? I have 3.7 on my 7AT G37.

Elmo370z 04-29-2016 12:33 AM

I'll have results next year lmao!!!!!. I'll have the stage 2 cams upgraded oil pump, ported heads and some other goodies.

4.08 are great. Bets mod I did in terms of feeling the difference. #2 was Uprev, night and day throttle response. Can you list all your mods? Would be nice to know for comparison. AM also interested in if there's a difference in NVH, idling and cruising sound etc.
