Bleach1,

Yes AVS wheels are definately worth something. What model do you have on your car? Have any piccies?

They have AVS model 5, 6 and 7. They also have a older model called VS-5 or something like that.

I have 18" AVS Model 5 on my new R33...they are my favourite wheel of all time so far. Pretty expensive if you want to get a set here I think. AVS are made by yokohama or one of the major jap tyre companies I think.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, they are the older AVS model.

My brother has them in 17" on his GTR. Have to say that they are quite common on white R32's. About 99% of all the wheels i have seen in this style are white.

I think I have seen a set come up for sale here before, so if you want to checkout what they are worth, do a search on AVS wheels.

well i only have 2 on my car now. I busted 2 guys stealing my wheels and they got away with 2 of them. Luckily a friend of mine had 2 wheels that looked similar as well so i put them on the front, except they are 17's so it looks a bit odd. Need to get a new set of wheels. Damn thieves.

The Advan AVS wheels are actually worth something, since they're made by a reputable manufacturer.

However, there are some knock-offs using the AVS moniker for their shit wheels.

Post pics of yours, if you want a more accurate response.

      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.

      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?

      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!?!?
