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

Would be fair keen. Gotta sort out my wack clutch issues though: went out satdy night, paid my $125 (plus about $70 of fuel, plus the rest on parts to upgrade what was shit last time) only to steam into turn 7 for the first time and have my clutch pedal stay on the firewall :(

If I can sort my shit out I'll be at the next prac on the 5th ;)

BTW Dave, you still gotta let a certain someone get your rig sideways for some artsy pics yeah... :)

im the same, if i dent or brake shit on the 100 ive got a solid weight for shit to get freighted from japland :)

this being said, its drift school, not prac. your not expected to handbrake it into turn one. you go at your own pace and learn the basics of good car controll.

shagged piston and bent valves.

ripping it out next weekend and selling it in parts then putting that cash towards my new and better motor ;)

shiiiiiit another motor? dude thats sucks

So you did end up getting a 100 Rhys? fking sick man ;)

don't bother with the Torsen shite if you wanna slide it, if you're definately keen then go straight for a mech LSD, and find some 4.3 diff gears from an A70 supra while you're at it. One thing I never did to mine :( would've made SO much difference.

You don't need a kit to get it sideways Dave :)

Nice, that was a good buy for the cash he was asking, how much better than Nissans are they ;)

LSD depends on your driving style, but being a big car something smooth to lock like a TRD one would probably be easiest to learn with.

some guy on jzx100.com was looking into aftermarket diff bushes developed in Aus last time I checked. That was a while ago so you may have a local option by now.

no. but i do want it looking more or less complete in said photos.

This is a fair point you raise, good sir

LOL it's a 100 man, get used to that :)

I'd track down somewhere in JP where you can get one then talk to Streeter about getting it here. Bought a few grand worth of shit through him for my 100 ;)

      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!?!?
