D21: (2014-03-04 05:24:41)
I have tried contacting Russ with no response. Is he still in business?
mizagyu: (2014-03-04 05:26:41)
IDK, but i'd be interested in knowing as well.. I want a set..
Bremsen: (2014-03-05 17:33:32)
?
300zxturboftw: (2014-03-05 18:52:25)
He made a batch about 6 or 7 months ago. If there's demand he will do it. Contact him on his email.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-05 19:05:59)
Well, anyone who is willing to pay for a set, I say we contact him and get a group together to make it worth his time.
gorekill: (2014-03-05 20:39:58)
How much were they going for a set before?
Blown-N-Boosted: (2014-03-05 21:16:31)
I bought a pair about 6 months ago and he said it was his last set. I wanted blue but all he had left was one red pair.
D21: (2014-03-06 00:59:08)
The link to purchase on his website does not work. I sent him two separate emails, one about three months ago and another last month with no responses. I've also sent him a PM here without success.
Obviously there are a few interested parties, hopefully he might be interested in another run.
stufferton: (2014-03-06 02:21:02)
If he does do another batch I'm in. Maybe we can talk him into a more universal color like black…or copper :P
floridaZ: (2014-03-06 02:56:36)
I'd be down for this. I've been wanting these for a while.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-06 03:37:39)
Since Russ had told Blown that was his last set, it may be a little harder to talk him into doing it by individually approaching him. Possibly, having a list of 5+ people with money and the intention to buy them as soon as they are produced, we may be able to sway his mind.
Since no one else has I will start the list
1. Zericmz
2. Mizagyu
3. FloridaZ
4. Stufferton
5. D21
6.
If you are interested, please add yourself to the list. Of course, this entire thing will depend on if Russ feels up to providing one last batch for the community. If he doesn't, then so be it and nothing against him. It is worth a try at least. I am open to opinions on this, but should I leave the list open for say a week? After that, close the list and try to get into contact with Russ and possibly have other members who have had more personal contact with him try as well? I don't know if these were a made to order product on his site, but if so I would assume he would require either payment up front w/cores sent in or else a deposit of half the price w/cores at the time of ordering.

reddzx: (2014-03-07 02:37:33)
why don't you guys just ask him. He's still active on the forum
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-07 03:34:47)
I wasn't aware he was still active here. Once the list is finalized I will approach him.
stufferton: (2014-03-07 07:33:06)
- pst* See if he will do them black *nudge* *nudge*
floridaZ: (2014-03-07 22:56:42)
Why not have them produced raw. Then powdercoat/anodize to individual tastes?
stufferton: (2014-03-07 23:08:46)
Actually, this guy knows what's up.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-13 18:51:28)
It has been a week today. Any others want to jump in on the potential buyers list for the cam gears if Russ agrees to it? I'll try to contact him tonight.
jaqattack02: (2014-03-13 20:01:25)
Maybe, I'd want to know a price first.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-13 21:37:53)
I would assume it would remain the $249+$100 core charge fee as he has listed on his site, UNLESS he chooses to charge more for offering this service one more time. I can always mention I have a few possibles depending on price and see what he says.
akurtzer57: (2014-03-16 05:20:27)
I need second set for the shiro. Throw me on the list.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-16 05:54:34)
Alright Austin, will do. Just to update everyone, I sent him an e-mail about 4-5 hours ago so now we wait.
joshers21: (2014-03-17 05:09:18)
I'd take a set as well!
G-E: (2014-03-17 05:51:07)
I'd be interested if it was $250 with $50 discounts per cores provided… I can ship over 3 sets [archived image: smile.png]

Agreed, I should be able to come up with several sets of cores as well.
drb5721: (2014-03-17 15:01:43)
Depending on price, this is something I would consider. I have a spare set I can send in.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-17 17:10:55)
Awesome. If I get in touch with him, I will throw your guy's names into the mix then after I verify price and inform you guys.
jaqattack02: (2014-03-21 03:06:58)
Any word back?
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-21 09:06:51)
Still no word back from him through E-mail yet unfortunately.
jaqattack02: (2014-03-26 02:56:50)
At this point I assume this is probably a no go?
Anyone have any sources that could make a similar one? I've done some googling and can't come up with anyone.
ZEricMZ: (2014-03-26 03:14:53)
Yeah, I am beginning to think so. With no word back at this point, I would think he either never received the e-mail or wasn't interested in replying back.
G-E: (2014-03-26 04:21:11)
I will ask around…
Russ84na: (2014-03-26 18:59:35)
Sorry guys, I just don't check Z31performance that much any more. I was here today because I was looking for some info to send out with the set of cam gears I shipped this morning.
Don't know what email address you are using because I always reply to any I get. You can reach me at RussellCharlton@gmail.com. If you send it to RussCharlton it will end up at a real nice guy in NYC who drives a Miata and Road racing to him means using two feet.
Here is the deal on cam gears. I have been making them since 2004. I have to have a batch of at least 30 hubs (15 sets) and 20 (10 sets) of the cores done at a time to make it worth while for my machinist to do them.
Once that is done the minimum charge for getting the cores anodized is 30 pieces of each color. Then is is a couple of bucks to get the cores blackened and clear coated.
Once I get that done I have about a 2 year supply of cam gears. That is the reason for only having one color. It is to expensive to make several colors and sit on them.
I also offer them for the VG33 platform. The hubs are the same, but it means that I have to get both of the cores done…have to guess which one will be needed.
The basics: The cost is still the same as it was when I started and will remain the same until my costs go up.
I shipped out my last VG33 set this morning. I have enough hubs and VG30 cores in stock to make up 4 sets. Then I would have to do some sets of cores and could make 3 more sets of VG30 or 33's.
If you guys want to get together about 10 people who want to order gears, I will have another batch started. The first ones to send in their money can get the ones I have in stock. The rest will either get theirs when the next batch of cores is completed. Any one else would have to wait until the next batch was finished. 10 sets isn't enough to pay for all the costs, but I will go ahead and have enough extra made to cover what is needed.
If I have enough wanting a color other than Red I will consider making the next batch that color.
I don't need any extra cores at this time as I have enough to do a batch and those are replaced by people returning them.
If you have any questions let me know.

I had used russelcharlton@gmail.com which is what you have listed on your site. Now that I take a look at the e-mail address you have listed above, the addy on your site is missing one l on the end of russell. That is where the mistake was made on my end haha.
Well, I will put the list up on this page to for ease of access for people so they don't need to jump back a page to copy it. I'm also adding the type (VG30 OR VG33) to the end of my name just to figure out who will be needing what.

jaqattack02: (2014-03-26 20:56:10)
Russ, your site says the $100 core is charged up front. Would you be willing to let us pay $249 up front via PayPal and send the cores to you? I can't speak for others, but I'd be fine if you wanted to hold the new gears from shipping till my cores arrived.

I'll give up my spot in the first four since I'm gonna be out of contact for a while.
Russ84na: (2014-03-27 02:01:44)
The only reason for a core charge is to get the core back not to make money. The easiest thing to do is send a money order with your cores. Or send me the cores and when I have them, then send the payment. I am willing to work on a case by case basis to work out the payments.

Sending the cores first works too. Where would you like them sent?
I guess we need to work out how this will go, are we going in order by what's on the list, or first come (or in this case first paid), first served? I guess this mostly applies to the 4 that are available now.

Guys, you can scratch me off the list. Im the lucky one who got the last set. Thanks for the help and best of luck!

Alright, add me to the list for vg30's
mizagyu: (2014-03-28 16:00:12)
Even after moving and buying a g37, im still in this guys! I have $ and cores ready to go!
Russ84na: (2014-03-28 16:04:08)
Update to the list:
D21 as he said already had his gears. This means that I have no VG33 gears in stock. Zericmz (VG33) if you are interested I will have to add you to the list that will be filled on the next batch
I have had two people from the list contact me about VG30 gears. I told both of them that I would box up a set for each of them and hold them for a week to 10 days for them to send the cores and the money. If I don't get it they will go to the next person who wants them.
That leaves me with two sets of VG30 gears…both Red. I will do the same for those that I did for the others. If you want them, send me an email and let me know. I will give you the shipping address for cores/payment or my paypal address.
For anyone that wants VG33 gears or if there are more than 2 who want VG30 gears, I would like to have at least 5 sets that people are willing to put a deposit on a set and I will make up the minimum and have another batch run. It usually takes from 2 weeks to 2 months to get a batch machined and finished depending on how busy my shop is.
I usually don't require deposits, but having done this on multiple projects I know that there are always more "I'm in" than actual orders and getting a minimum of hubs and cores done is a lot of cash to sit on for a couple of years just to help out the Z31 community.
Let me know so I can line up the machinist.
LA z: (2014-04-01 22:07:25)
Add me to this list please. I will contact Russ for special instructions. I've talked to him just before Christmas. I am planning on sending the cores in a few weeks.
floridaZ: (2014-04-02 12:04:17)
Russ, I shot you an email.
Russ84na: (2014-04-02 16:42:18)
UPDATE:
SinceI found this thread I have shipped gears to the following:
D21
707Redz31
One set is paid for and waiting for cores:
Jaqattack02
Another set is on hold waiting for reply:
FlordiaZ
That leaves one set until I have more done. I only have VG30's available for the last set. If anyone wants it send me an email and let me know.
Once it is gone I am out of gears. I have two more hubs and will get a couple of VG30 and VG33 cores machined to match up with those.
I talked to my shop and he said that it would be at least a month before he could work them in.
He would like to do a batch of hubs and cores at the same time. In order to do that I will need 5 people who are willing to commit to getting a set. Then I will pay for the rest of the run to have some in stock.
What I mean by commit is put down a non refundable deposit of $100. Once they are ready I will notify you and you can send in your cores and the balance due.
Here is a list of people from this thread that expressed an interest. If you are interested let me know. If all of you want gears there is enough to do another batch, but I need a deposit.

ZEricMZ: (2014-04-03 01:59:58)
Well I have the money to commit on the next run if we can get 4 others from the list to commit.
floridaZ: (2014-04-03 13:25:08)
Response and cash sent.
G-E: Yea, I'm not a ran of red in the engine bay. But it will mesh in pretty well if you do the OG red/blue AN fittings.

Or once the tune is set, put the timing cover back on, and the gears won't be visible.
floridaZ: (2014-04-04 16:11:09)
Naaaaaaah. I'm gonna try to find a clean way to cut the front cover so I can access the gears. Ideally that doesn't sacrifice too much of the purpose of having the cover in the first place.

Be the first to make an acrylic cover! [archived image: smile.png]
707Redz31: (2014-04-04 23:48:52)
I made an acrylic "window" cover out of a stocker last time I had adjustable gears on my car. Hardest part was to solve the problem of the special contours for the cam bolts.... If you don't want it to stick out super far and look tacky. Or look tacky with holes cut for the bolts like I did. Lol

This might be a stupid question, but I want to be sure:
If I'm planning on a VG33 swap but keeping the VG30 cams, I would need VG30 cam gears, not VG33, right?

You just have to match the gears up with the timing belt you want to run. VG33 uses round tooth gear, VG30 is more square. As far as I know, the gears are interchangeable otherwise. I believe someone mentioned that the round tooth gears and belt are 100,000 miles on a belt, vs 60,000 for the square tooth.
Parker: (2014-04-05 01:57:37)
Cool, thanks jaqattack.

jaqattack02 is correct. The VG30 and VG33 are interchangeable on the VG30/33 engines. You just have to have the timing belt, cam gears and the crank gear all match.
reddzx: (2014-04-06 03:57:30)
will the VG33 crank gear fit the VG30 W series crank?
ZEricMZ: (2014-04-06 04:48:25)
I don't believe so. I believe the VG33 crank to have a slightly thicker snout, and possibly a tad longer as well, than the VG30 cranks. Both A/B and W series. I am going to dig around on Google in a minute and check for sure.
Edit: The crank gear must be matched with the crankshaft you are using.

Thread: Round tooth timing belt swap
Russ84na: (2014-04-07 20:04:14)
will the VG33 crank gear fit the VG30 W series crank?
The VG30 engine that was used in the D21 truck 84.5 to 95 came with a VG30e motor that used the round tooth belt. So that crank gear will fit on the crank and allow the swap. The gear I have uses a single key so it will fit on my 84 VG30 crank

incorrect. All 90's vg30e were equipped with round tooth gears. The trucks and pathy's were rocking square tooth gears up until the early 90's. I cant ever figure out an official changeover year but 93 on for sure.

LAz said he was going to send in his cores to be done.
I have contacted my machinist and he said it would be a month or two before he could get them into the schedule. I need at least 5 people or sets of cam gears to make it worth while to do another batch. I need a commitment that you want them and then when he is ready to start a $100 deposit.

ZEricMZ: (2014-04-30 22:49:31)

Like Russ had said, we need five people to actually commit and put $100 dollars down. Once five are committed, a batch will be produced.
Bragen, yes you can. You can go a step further and commit by putting $100 down and get us one person closer to a batch being made [archived image: tongue.png]
stufferton: (2014-05-04 07:17:17)
Out of curiosity, would we like to vote on a different color other than red for this next batch? I'm down for just black. Unless everyone else is kosher with copper…
Russ84na: (2014-05-05 12:47:19)
I have no problem doing a different color. I have done Gold, Red and Blue. Over time the most popular has been Red.
The cost of getting anodizing done, the last time I had it done for a color was $120.00 min. that breakes down to $4.00 per piece if I get 15 sets done.
Black was $85.00 min or about 11 sets. If you can decide on which of two colors you want to do and we have enough pre orders I will have enough made to meet the minimums.
The other option is to get them unfinished and you can get them done what ever color you want. This would save you $8.00 per set.
I will be trying to get a hold of my machinist today and get a date he could start.

300zxtravis: (2014-05-05 18:08:34)
I want a set of these done for a vg33. if you can russ. I do not have cores, as i already have yours installed on my car i just want another set, as i might be building another vg33 this winter.
Bremsen: (2014-05-05 19:53:41)
Clear could be another cheap option for you. Most places run large batches of black and clear.
G-E: (2014-05-05 21:11:25)
I vote black… until something darker comes along
Russ84na: (2014-05-07 17:43:50)
No problem using the existing hubs and VG33 cores. If you can send me a set of Vg33 cores I can have a set done for you. Or you can pay the core charge and use a set of my cores. I will have to check on the cost of getting the cores done.
Russ84na: (2014-05-07 17:47:48)
Clear is a little less than black. Have to check if they would add them to a larger batch.
Russ84na: (2014-05-07 17:54:45)
Talked to my machinist today. Problem with being a small account is that you don't get put to the head of the line. He said he could possibly get them worked in 3 to 4 weeks. Add time to get them anodized I figure that they would be ready to ship by July sometime.
All of you that want to commit to a set send me an email at RussellCharlton@gmail.com and we can work out deposits and sending in cores.
Some of you have already emailed. Please send me another one so I don't lose any of you. I will go through my emails and send out notices.
Remember I need at least 5 sets ordered and a deposit paid before any sets will be done. The more commitments I get the better the chance of getting two colors made up.

So what's the deal about the anodizing, can we agree on black? [archived image: smile.png]
ZEricMZ: (2014-06-01 20:32:59)
I'm good with black.
zrbsliding: (2014-06-04 21:51:46)
Black is fine with me as well
blewa: (2014-06-05 00:28:11)
I'm totally indifferent on color. Black would be fine!

Email sent Russ… I'm in, deposit waiting.
Don't care about anodizing.

I sent out an email to all of you who have sent me emails saying you were interested. So for some of you this will be a duplication.
I talked to my machinist this past week and he said to get him the cores and he would work us in. Soooo…we are ready to go. I have enough cores to get started with a batch. What I need to determine is how big a batch can we do. As I said before I need deposits from at least 5 of you who are interested to do a run. If we can get more deposits then I can do a larger batch and maybe do both red and black with no increase in cost.
So here is the deal. I need to get your deposits by June 15 so we can get this moving. As it is, it will probably be the end of July before they are ready to ship. For those that send in a deposit I will hold the price to what it has been since I had the first set made in 2004. For those of you who want to wait and see, the cost may increase due to my costs increasing. Also you will take the chance that I will run out because the batch I have run will be determined by how many put down a deposit.
Your deposit can be via PayPal. It must be sent as a "gift" or as "cash". You can send a check or USPS money order. If you want to send your cores at this time, you can send a check or USPS money order with them.
My paypal address is: RussellCharlton@gmail.com
My email address is the same. RussellCharlton@gmail.com

What ever method you use to send in your deposit, please also send me an email (address is the same as my paypal address) with "cam gear group buy" in the subject box. Include the following information:
1. Your real name
2. Your user name on Z31P
3. Your address where you want your gears shipped
4. Your email address
5. How you made your deposit payment
6. Weather you want VG30 or VG33 gears and how many sets
7. What color you would prefer. Black or Red. If I only have enough to do one color then it will be the one most people want.
Any other questions please email me.
I am trying to get this as organized as possible so I don't lose anyone in the process.

OWO heads ONLY came on the 3.3 correct? I do not have the motor my gears came from, just a set of OWO heads I pulled them off of. The teeth are a little narrower, and LOOK a little rounder. Are these the round tooth 3.3?
G-E: (2014-06-08 22:35:15)
Yea they'll have curved valleys, the square tooth gear has trapezoid valleys

Maybe, Russ, you should start a group buy thread in the marketplace forums? Might increase interest.
300zxtravis: (2014-06-11 05:49:48)
how much do you need for deposit or the whole thing? might as well send it all at once. i forgot the price i havent been following too closely.
zrbsliding: (2014-06-11 20:34:27)
$100 was what he asked for a deposit
Russ84na: (2014-06-23 15:31:38)
Just to let you all know…you all stepped up better than expected.
We have 14 that have either sent a deposit or paid in full for their gears and one is still sending in a check. There are still a couple who have expressed an interest, but haven't replied with a deposit or information.
To let you know I have sold enough to use up all the cores I had in stock so if any of you have your cores off the car and can send them in I would appreciate it. If I get them in time I can have them done with this run and will be able to take care of any additional people who straggle in.
Those of you that sent in your cores already, thanks. Yours will be going over as soon as he starts to do cores and will give me a bit of a cushion.

Please send me an email with cam gear group buy in the subject line and let me know they are coming. The email address is: RussellCharlton@gmail.com
Final payment will be due once the gears are ready to ship. They will be shipped in the order that I get the payment.
I will be doing a few extra sets in this run so that we will be able to do both black and red without any up charge. Those that don't get their deposit in this week will still be able to get gears until the extras are gone, but the price will be whatever the current cost make them.
Thanks again for all of you stepping up. This is what makes it possible for those of us that make parts for the Z community to keep making them.

Does anyone else check this thread daily hoping for shipping notices? Can't wait to drive with the improved power band.
Russ84na: (2014-08-07 20:31:52)
I don't check it very often, but I do call the machinist on a regular basis to make sure he is getting them done.

Now before you all panic. These are going to be blackened and anodized tomorrow morning. I am guessing that by next week I will have them back and ready to ship. So those of you who have sent in a deposit only, get your balance and cores ready. I will be notifying everyone on the list that has sent in a deposit with an email with all the details after I drop them off tomorrow.

They are back and I am getting them ready to ship out.
All of you that have sent in your cores and final payments, your gears should be going out by Monday. I am shipping on first in first out so if you sent in all your payment early yours will be going out today
