haha, that's great.

When I worked at Adelaide Engine we used to sell second hand Scania & Volvo pistions for $20 as they made great ashtrays (ie. the combustion chamber is built into the top of the piston).

SLED, spoke to a good friend of mine tonight who is a tech at toyota, There is a recall on the 200. The vaccumm pump accumulator valve opens far too much causing the motor to burn excessive oil...This can be fixed with a simple flash of the ecm. Toyota do it on warrentee, Also if you get a spungy brake pedal it's because the Diaphram in the master cylinder has a slit in it rather than a hole..hard to explain over the net. But Minor things and will be fixed for free.

So many lines up for grabs these days! Infact, even I'm barely keeping hold of the GTR. Still up in the air about if I'll sell it, or keep it...

If my $ improves, then I'll keep it for another year!

haha im in the exact same sittuation, gotta figure out what i wanna do before the years insurance is up. very very tempted to go down the chaser route

^ i know you guys are confused now so im going to pretend you didnt just say that :(

godzilla can not be replaced by some sort of "chaser" possible meaning to the name lagging behind :D

and pete keep your damn hands off mine :( and if you mod a vspec 2 32 there will be some gheto like behaviour out of me

ah, thanks for the heads up.........I'll print this out and point these things out when I get the service done :(

but seriously mang, your money, your choice, no point the whole of SAU telling u to get volks, and you wishing for the rest of your rim ownership that u got gtr's... maybe you can get gtr and spend 600 on brakes? id go gtr and rotor upgrade over the 37's.

    • 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?
