ka24de cams
Anyone have a picture of a ka24de cams? I bought a pair from a guy on ebay and when I got it, it looks stock-ish. It has numbers on it a 5 and then a 53p. I think it might be the s13 hot cams. Heres a link of where I got it

the cam gears are for a chain and they look like my stock cams... i had the same markings on mine... the 53 p is near the middle if i remember right... like i said they look like mine...but then again that is only a pic...

i have an answer for you on the cams... the 53p is close to the back of the cams... like 2/3rds of the way down... the 5 in your case is in the middle... my old cams has a 2 in the middle...which according to nissan when i checked with them is the stock cam number for my 93 nissan 240... i will call the parts guy that i deal with at nissan tomorrow to see if he can tell me what the 5 means... now this does not matter in regrind cams... because the lobes can be built up and reground... so they could be a different cam profile... only way to know that is to have them measured...and then compare that to the measurements from a known cam...

okay from what my guy told me at nissan this morning... the 5 is from a convertable 94 240 sx... same cam profile as the 93 cams i have... like i said this does not matter for regrinds... i would contact theseller to see if the cams are regrinds or not... ask questions from the source... if i can find my old cams i will measure them for you but i think a friend of mine snatched them up when he was diggin thru my old parts...

Take the cams into a machine shop for proper measurement. Then again you might not of gotten scammed the guy has a phatty seller rating, but it is only at 90.

i guess intake side has a 1 and a 53F,
exhaust side has 4 and 53F.
if you could get your guy to confirm that these are infact the hotcams, i'd appreciate that a lot. thanks
nisilvia, if you need measurements on the cam lobes, i can do it for you. let me know.

like i said befor if the cams are "hot" cams it usually means that they are regrinds... nissan did not make a "hot" cam... all i can tell you is what they came from... this will not matter if they have been reground... there are 6 series of cams that nissan made... they might have the same profiles like the 92 to 94 cams... i dont know the diff in the 91 cams other than some people say they are a higher lift and longer duration...
like i said nissan did not make a set of "hot" cams... least none that my guy at nissan has ever been able to identify...

ConceptS14 check your cams again and check that letter my guy at nissan does not know of any of the cams from the 91 to 94 having an f... it should have a p on it not an f... but here again he does not know everything...
