Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Mine was pretty meh. Was occupied half the night with a gorgeous little 16 y/o bird but missed a few of my mates rocking up :( Went and did the rounds saying g'day to everyone who rocked up in that time then left to stay at a chick friends house.

No hangover or come down = win though. Now off to work :)

had a rather gay letdown to my day.....thought that i had a misfire due to the car being sitting for so long and having so much fuel flooded thru when the auto elec was tryin to get the fuel pump wiring working. decided whilst doing other things this arvo to check out the plugs, seems #2 has something wrong, as there was a fair bit of oil over the plug, and after having a peek down into the cylinder theres a fair whack of oil on top of the piston

narrowed it down to the following

gasket gone, letting oil into the cylinder

cracked ring land

crack in the head

bent valve guide

wont know till i have had it looked at, but is rather gay none the less

I would say Valve Stem seal.

While the car was sitting the oil has worked past the seal into the cylinder.

      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?
