The HKS STEP2 Pro 272 Exhaust Camshaft for the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R RB26DETT is designed to deliver significant gains in mid to high RPM performance. Featuring a 272° duration, 10.2mm valve lift, and 113° designed valve timing, this single exhaust cam optimizes exhaust flow for enhanced power and response. Engineered for high-performance builds, the STEP2 Pro cam requires reinforced valve springs and proper piston-to-valve and cylinder head clearance, ensuring durability under demanding conditions. Precision-crafted by HKS, it is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable and track-proven upgrade for their RB26-powered GT-R.

STEP2 Camshaft

• Offering increased power compared to SS-Cams due to higher lift, HKS requires the use of strengthened valve springs. Piston recess modifications and cam clearance adjustments on the cylinder head are also necessary.

The Pursuit of Maximum Camshaft Efficiency

• HKS developed its camshafts with the goal of delivering products that genuinely satisfy customers. While this may seem straightforward, it is a highly challenging objective. After extensive examination, the HKS development team concluded that the core purpose of a camshaft is to allow air to flow smoothly into and out of the combustion chamber, and a truly effective camshaft achieves this with maximum efficiency.

Development Possible Because of True “In-house” Production

• When HKS refers to “in-house,” it represents more than simply manufacturing with its own facilities. HKS designs and builds components from the ground up, rather than following guidance from vehicle manufacturers. Every stage — design, processing, testing, and production — is meticulously linked, with test results directly driving redesigns and improvements. This thorough R&D process is reflected in the final product, ensuring customer satisfaction and maintaining HKS’ leadership in the tuning industry.
  • HKS Requirements for High Performance Cams: HKS designs its camshafts to ensure smooth intake and exhaust flow, meaning the valves operate with precise movement in both directions under any conditions.
    • Absolute power at high RPM
    • Accelerator response at low-mid RPM
    • Stable idle
