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

getting a bride zeta III logograph brand new off a mate and a pink steering wheel for the drift car haha cant wait to get it all painted up and back on the track!

Anyone got any recommendations for somewhere south to do a wheel alignment?

call andys tyre and battery i think its called in seaford.

they aligned my drift car and a few other drift cars there. the aligner has been doing it for nearlly 18 years and knows his stuff and decent price.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

call autobarn noarlunga and ask to speak with chris ford, tell him i sent you.

he should give you a decet discount with the amount your buying hopefully. if not that was my only contact haha

I brought an FMIC kit from Just Jap on the weekend, got a call from them today at work saying that they don't have any of the coolers left that i paid for. So they are sending me a better tube and fine style cooler worth $100 extra at no extra charge :D I also got them to change the silicon hose joiners to black ones for stealth :)

cooling pro? have fun fitting it.

ive had to remake all my pipes, either because theyve had huge welding dags inside the pipes, have been too long, or have been bent at the wrong angle, on top of having to make my own brackets, replace 2 silicon joiners, and source my own bolts and spring washers. all with the following response from jjr; "you get what you pay for."

Will do buddy, should be good to go for another run like last time!

If you like, you can hire a car trailer and borrow my uterus to take the car to him, will be slow, could possibly kill the clutch or yourself but the offer is there

Life Story entry #318 - drove the silver Stag to work today. Forgot what stock suspension felt like :) Anyone else drive a waterbed?

Got into work 15 minutes early too, just so I could avoid the nightmare roadworks on Port Road. I hate roadworks. :D

      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?

      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!?!?
