Incase any of you are going to get work done to your cars - just a word of warning. Be there when they do the job, even if it is to do something like adding a body kit etc. I got my car tinted yesterday, and then got it bad with a huge dent. The guy popped the dent back, but it was left with a small dent. So Finally got it fixed today by a guy that the dealer/importer knew - and now have to see if I can claim the money i spent on fixing it, with the tint people.

Just warning everyone - Im sure you all love your skylines as much as I love mine - so be on the look out.

Bummer, but seriously would you being there change what happened? Sometimes accidentsd happen, you shouldt be out of pocket though, inconvienced, well thats a privce of owning a car you care about

Yeah, it is bound to happen - but a place with a good rep shouldnt really do that. Worse still, they tried to pop it back. Although it looked like it was ok (apart form the small dent) - the pop back actually made an outward bump - the panel beater indicated that when he worked on fixing the car. So yeah - I have made up my mind though, I am going to go the GT Auto - they are very helpful, and they got a lot of good contacts (the panel beater does work for them). Thing is, better to go with people who know the car, and who do work with care. Despite the fact taht the tint job was good - and Im glad it went well - the dent was a huge let down (though I must admit I made the mistake of not showing my dissappointment and just saying - its ok - im kicking myself in the head right now).

      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!?!?
