Nismo (0.426 inches on lift, 262 deg dur.) coppied their cams from JWT (0.428inches lift, 260 deg dur.), then tweaked it a bit so it isn't a complete copy. They are virtually the same and get about the same result. I would go for JWT because they are less expensive. Neither are all that great for FI uses, but they will still give you some gains over stock. You'll find turbo cams have more lift, but are less on durration. Since you are in Australia talk to APS <http://www.************************> especailly if you are going with FI. Also, you may want to check out Tomei cams for something a tad more raddical for N/A uses. After all the research I've done on the subject, I have decided to get my cams ground at Scott Performance <http://www.scottperformance.us/>. Good luck!

look into tomei or some custom grind.. probably need to get into UTEC or another managemnt system if you're going with an aggressive grind.

i have nismo cams and i love em. The lift and dur. from nismo and jwt are almost identical. Its true, jwt is cheaper so go with that. I suggest u check the private classifieds and post a "i need nismo cams" thread. Good luck!
