Neil,

Definately come along to the cruise... bring as many other mates as you like too... (that blown Bimmer sounds intruiging) :D

and yeah, we're charging $140 for club membership....

if we didnt have to worry about CAMS affiliation (yes, the Fast Fours Forums Car Club IS a CAMS member), public liability insurance (which is what really puts the membership fees through the roof), and also merchandising etc, then im sure we could offer free memberships... but, we've gone about registering the club through all the official channels, to ensure that members will be secure and represented in the proper manner... im sure you can imagine, its not cheap.

we also have the backing obviously of Fast Fours Magazine, as well as already having set up discount scemes from over 50 businesses throughout Sydney & NSW...

we've only been up & running for a bit over a month & we currently have over 40 members, who realised the benefits that the club could bring to them, especially in terms of the money saved in discounts on products & services... our President has already saved nearly $4000 on work done to his 180SX. (which makes $140 in membership fees seem kinda small huh? :mad:)

several other members have already made back their membership fees plus more in the discounts theyve recieved... some of the workshops include C & V Performance, Tuffy mufflers & Powerplay Imports. :)

theres also several members who drive rotors also... and already a few Skylines too... :D :burnout:

seriously though... if you really have trouble coming up with $140 for membership, we've also just introduced a "Lay-By" :mad: plan, where you can pay a minimum of $10, then have 6 weeks to make up the rest... just to make it easier for those (like me) who find it hard to save any money at all... :D :shake:

but by all means, i urge you, come to the cruise with us on the 7th of July, meet me & a few of the guys (& girls) and have a fun day... we're not gonna expect everyone who comes on the cruise with us to join the club.

Like i said originally, its gonna be big, so dont miss out. :D

im running a Silvertop 4A-GE, which comes factory from Toyota with a 20Valve head...

but yeah, essentailly youre right... the cylinder head was developed for Toyota by Yamaha. basically all Toyota engines with a G in the engine code have Yamaha developed cylinder heads. :mad:

heres a pic (notice how many lobes on the inlet cam on the left):

    • 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? 
    • 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.
