Hey every one,

Just wondering if any one knows whats going on. I own a R32 Gts-t only some times when im driving around my car will just stall or start dropping in and out and then will just start working again or just stall and it will take 2 or 3 times to get it started up again. What do we think it is ive been told millions of things like fuel pump,spark plugs, coil packs, air flow meter ect ect. Has this happened to any one else or does any one have any ideas.

Its not my BOV cause i have an Idle stabliser and it randomly happends not just when i depress the clutch.

Also does any one know any good work shops that could fix this problem for a half decent price.

Thanks guys.

As a guess, like mentioned either AFM, or like i had in my other turbo car the pipe to the intake manifold where the silicon hose joins to the intercooler piping (pipe on the RB20 that goes across the engine) was completely off. So check for general air leaks....if its that its an easy fix. Hope you find it soon.

Other possibity due to experience from bro's car was due to an added BOV. But that is more due to the installation and the type of BOV installed.

      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.
