I know the skyline your talking about but unfortunately I didn't see it. 33 seconds is fairly fast. On Monday there was a 29.xx. It was a new record by one of those old school GP stlye cars.

I have heard that they have public days at Collingrove, don't know much more about it though.

If my rather vauge memory serves me correct, I saw an article on RPM about the N1 you are talking about. The fella is the one that crashed the purple v-spec (nice car that one!! :) ) and bought the white N1 for this years Targa Tasmania.

Apparently he was the only one who could challenge the leading porsche (driven by Jim Richards???).

By the way he was driving it on Saturday, he'd be a good chance to beat him. Looked pretty stock as well, could only spot the Power FC, upgraded suspension, huge brakes and good rubber. Still had stock airbox and a stock looking exhaust.

Hauled ass though - would be good to see a GTR will the Targa!

Steve's N1 is at Tilbrooks getting front end fixed this week.

Unfortunately he had a brake problem & hit a guard rail on the hill climb.I hope they can get it fixed in time for Targa Tasmania in a few weeks.I'll be barracking for him.Any one with spare front end parts let Mark know.

      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?
