There's been lots of people talking about getting really bad fuel econemy me being one of them for me I knew it had to be my O2 sensor coz it was stuffed all the wires were melted. I'm not saying this is the same problem that everyone with bad fuel ecomemy has but i'll get to the point when i went to nissan they wanted $230 for an O2 sensor (RB20det) so I went looking and found this guy on ebay enginesensorsandsystems they were only $50 (universal) I was a bit worried about putting a universal one in my car but the price was right so i gave it a go, now the car runs perfect no ruff idle better fuel ecomony.

02 sensor wont affect idle. it is probably better to go for a genuine one vs a aftermarket no brander one as the voltage scale may be slightly out so it could affect say 5% fuel economy. a bog stock OEM one for the rb20 from repco should be no more than $90 for the correct one with the right plug.

R33 users can use the EL falcon one, althought there has been some specualation over it. I think the genuine one is only an extra $30 or so.

my idle is great, nice even rumble, like a even purrr @ .9k rpm, just get 200k's to a tank no matter what I do, whether i weld the throttle open or drive like miss daizy.

wiped the bottom section of the exhuast tip and see shiney chrome, drive it for about 20 mins, pop quater of a tank and she's black. visibly black smoke @ top end 6-7k rpms, but thought this normal considering its a nissan especially a line, getting rich up top always beter an leaning out anyway so when i bought it was fine, just hadnt noticed the monster thirst till i owned the damed thing....

have been wondering if its out of the norm but aparently the car is supposed to pull 400k's to a tank when flogging it. 97 S2 so hell dunno. on bp ultimate, first owner in aus, maybe its the ecu defualting to safe map? i've runn injector cleaner through it, gona reset the ecu in the hopes it will get better, just need to find a guy who can test it in my local area for a decent price.

I dont want cheap work but i cant afford big $$$ either at the mo

anyone around the ec area with a diagnostic machine that wont charge me a fortune to hook it up and give it a test?

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!?!?
