Product Description

The GSC 7045S3 is a billet S3 camshaft set for the Nissan R35 GT-R with the VR38DETT 3.8L twin-turbo V6. GSC identifies this profile as a 280/280 camshaft set intended for extreme-output GT-R builds, and trusted GT-R performance retailers consistently map this part number to the R35 VR38DETT platform. This is not a mild street cam, but a drag-oriented profile for serious high-power combinations.

GSC states the 7045S3 is intended for 1500+ WHP builds only and suggests it for stroker or high-revving engines. GSC also specifies that the required matching valvetrain package is the GSC 5068 beehive valve springs with lightweight titanium retainers, which it says will support the valvetrain up to 9800 RPM at 60 psi of boost. Head clearancing may also be necessary for the lobes during installation, so this cam set is best suited to fully planned engine builds with professional machine work and tuning.

This product does not change vehicle ride height, so no front or rear lift/drop height applies. Fitment is confirmed for the R35 Nissan GT-R through 2021 in the strongest source set reviewed. 2022-2025 coverage is unconfirmed at time of listing.
