Hey luke.. :)

$20-$30 at a local crash shop and they can aim your lights correctly (down a tad).

On corner entry they were hammering my side mirror blinding me and on the straights it felt as if the interior of my car was lit up.

I waved you past when first heading up in to the hills, on the way back you ended up behind again and I almost missed a corner because I simply couldn't see.

Hey Richo remember the last one you came out with us, you ran over an put your steering wheel back on when they mentioned anyone on defect, that was a good effort :)

Its all good.. :)

I don't believe they test headlight height at regency. Just operation? I could be wrong though.

I've re-aimed my lights in the past. I usually pull up ~ 1.5meters away from a fence; mark a line that is level with the top of my knee and adjust both lights so the top cut off line is level with that. Take it for a drive and make sure my lights aren't shining up in to the back window/interior of the car in front. Over bumps etc its ok to have the occasional flash in to the interior.

A normal commodore sedan you should see the cut off line ~ level with the middle of their rear brake lights.

You'll know what I mean by cut off line when you start adjusting; at the moment I don't think you would see a cut off line as they are pointed up.

When mine was at the crash shop being sprayed some time ago that's how the bloke told me to do it.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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!?!?
