Morning all,

I've decided to kick the old hicas out of the car. I'm ordering a lock bar, should i take out the hicas gear aswell? does it weigh much?? and moving onto my main question. i've bought an Isotta steering wheel and need to buy the boss kit. i need a special boss kit to accomodate the hicas. as i'm getting rid of hicas do i still need that special boss kit??or will a standard one fit once gone. (i'm not quite sure of how the hicas one fits differently)

Cheers!

all the hicas gear from front solanoids to rear and lines weighs i dunno bought 25kg at the most i guess? maybe 20kg?

i've removed mine + lines, keep the rear computer, beucase otherwise it'll make your steering heavy, you can use skyline non-hicas or 180sx boss kits once the hicas has gone :D i got mine for $110NZD including boss kit and wheel, nismo look a like and it's fine for now

if you have a GTS4 I would be getting the correct steering angle sensor compatible boss kit. as I believe the AWD needs steering angle input to operate correctly.

I didnt even think of that. cheers for the input guys. I'll stick with the proper one that is made for my model.

      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. 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!?!?
