Okay I am shitting myself slightly.

On Parramatta Rd, Auburn this afternoon I saw a speed camera flash. I was travelling Parramatta-bound, and the camera is facing city-bound on the opposite side of the road. The area is 60 but i was doing closer to 70, but was not accellerating.

I was travelling in the right lane, there was a Ute that was going city-bound. The RTA site says:

Fixed speed cameras can monitor one to four lanes in the same direction

Does this mean that the Ute was kodak'd and not myself? I am unsure about it and need to know if I should start saving.

Cheers,

Pete.

check closely after you go past one, they just work with three sensors on the road about a metre apart. Once you're past em, go.

I make a point of heading off fast straight after cameras so Joe Public can see they do nothing to slow traffic down :)

i havent measured it yet but its roughly with a 15m range that the cameras work.

but make sure you see the sensors where refering to.

yeh i tend to speed up after having passed the sensors myself...........leaves the eager beaver on mah arse behind thinking "um ma his speeding"

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
