I noticed that my light bulb is not working when the doors open, or even switch on at all. The other light at the front of the car with the push to operate worked fine.

So i went and bought a new light (12V, 10W) and replaced the old one. It didn't work after doing this, and the stragest thing was that the other light now also wont work.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed? any help would be greatly appreciated. btw my car is a R34Gtt

Either a fuse, or sometimes you get a small build up on the contacts. I think its a oxidised layer or something. Just get some sand paper and give it the once over to clean the contacts up. The contacts in the fitting, not the light globe btw.

I know you got the correct bulb, but if they're blowing, it might mean that for some reason the voltage is not right. There may be a voltage leak/surge for some reason. Are the globes definately blown? Are you sure its not a fuse?

i have a feeling its a fuse problem otherwise the other light which is seperate wont just stop working.. would the fuse be under the dash? i dont want to meddle with it too much and cause some serious problems....

      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.
