1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25t Series II Type-M 40th Anniversary Edition

Well actually it arrived Friday. Cleared quarantine today, went off paid the fees, car got transported to a workshop which is where I picked up and got it home.

Overall the condition is better than I thought- only thing major is a scratched front bumper and paint peeled rear spoiler which will be resprayed. Interior was a grade C and was stated worned out and dirty - turns out to be like near perfect! Its like cleaner than my previous car's interior before haha Exterior is great apart from the two up there. Engine is great... overall GREAT! Car is fairly standard cept for the Buddy Club P1s + a turbo timer. I'm happy.

Car was imported through David from Elite Auto Imports @ http://www.rpmlounge.com.au/ . Was very nervous at first and pretty daunting buying a car that I cant see but it all turned out fine! Ever needed a question need answering or wondering whats up with the car I just give him an SMS and he replies back pretty much straight away. The service is excellent second to none! Highly recommended!

On the way home i stalled at the lights - David and my brother pushed while I steered to get the car away from the intersection. Battery was dead - needed a jumpstart.

Hey congrats on the car vietorious, I'm thinking about importing one myself. I'd just like a few things answered first though, how much did you pay for compliance? and the car overall?

Replied to PM :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

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

      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.

      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!?!?
