ummm...just wondering how ppl are using these as brake lights and a tail light, as LEDs dont have the extra filament in them to make em brighter.

If you connect 2 resistors in series and have the tail light active going to the first and have the brake light active loop straight to second, would this work? Would it blow fuses because of 2 different actives?

There are 12V LED's available, wouldnt these be more suitable then cheap 1.5V ones with resistors?

Also, Jaycar sell these two products, which are 12V. Do you think they'd be suitable?

So where are all these panels some people were going to make up and sell? :thumbsup:

If you are interested pm Dr Doof as he had it on his car and it was at the NSW Show N Shine for display, not sure if too many people noticed it as the sun made it hard to tell unless you were looking closely.

I had about 8 people over the day tell my my parkers were on, and im like, yes, and ill show you why :domokun:

it was kind of hard to see, but it still looked pretty cool :)

i can make them for people, but i would prefer the money up front, as im in somewhat of a hole at the moment and cant afford a gamble...

$300 all up, less if you give me your facia, it will also take less time :)

thats my prototype V there, felt like making one that stands out a bit more, normal ones only have the letters light up... also do any combo of colours you can think of :)

really just for friends (or anyones in syd), pickup only ;)

My Leds for this little project have finally arrived, but did not receive any bits of paperwork as i have in my other led projects. (bought the brightest ones specially, came in a bag with nothing but the leds). Only thing im wondering, i got these figures out of the book i ordered them out of and just wondering which ones i use...mA 75; mA (peak) 100; Vtyp 2.2; and Vmax 2.6.

12v - V? =

Ans \ mA? =

ive read so many threads on this! can i just confirm? If i want mine to shine red. i spray the fascia in black but not over the letters, then spray it the colour of my car(white) and leave the leteres completly clear? or is it possible to have the letters white so it looks stock in the day but at night time the red shines through?...i cant see it working very well

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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!?!?
