camshaft install for 03 Nissan Spec V

[ade99]

Does anyone know of any local shops here in Calgary who would install camshafts on a Spec V? Thanks

just do it yourself man...buy a service manual or a haynes manual, give yourself a couple days, read through and work slow and there...DONE This may not apply to you, but on bigger cams they recommend tha you change your springs too so you don't get valve float

what cams did you get for the specv? because the only ones im aware of that re out are the NISMO ones...and they havent even been shipped yet.

or are you replacing stock cams?

I got the NISMO cams. I preordered them from Mossy Performance and received them through UPS this past
Monday (Jul7).

let me know how it goes.. a buddy of mine's thinkin of doing that to his 02 spec v

First I need to find a shop that will do the install since I'm not that mechanically inclined

its really not that hard, but yes, definatly buy the nismo HD valve springs.

[ade99]

Nismo didn't come out with any valve springs. Should I be holding off on this until valv springs are available?

[RC-Cola]

Did it come with a manual? If so it would probably let you know if you need to upgrade you valve springs or not. BTW, how much did you pay for the cam? Let us Spec owners know how it feels and the end result dyno.... Nismo rocks...

when i got my crane cams it didn't say if i need springs or not but i did...it really depends what kind of cams they are...what are the durations? if it's something not too agressive you can run regular springs no problem...look on a nissan forum and they should know
