It could also have been the 2nd most common reason why cars are on the side of the road seemingly abandoned (apart from the stolen joyride)

i.e. the cars owner has had a warrant for their arrest and have been pulled over by the police and taken away.

the car sits there for days, they don't know anyone who will come and drive it away for them, whilst they are gargling mayo in jail (lets face it, criminals are wankers and have wanker friends who wouldn't want to get involved and help a fellow wanker out)

Car gets a yellow "move car" sticker on it, then a second sticker ... car gets stripped, then taken for scrap.

End story .... everyone lives happily ever after!

I am not saying this is what happened in this case, but not all abandoned cars are stolen.

Hmm, its possible, who knows. The cop I spoke to at the police station I went to did spend alot of time looking up the cars rego.

In any case however, im sure reporting it to police and posting it here didnt hurt. I know if my car was abandoned on the side of the road without my knowledge while I was say staying at my girlfriends house, id like to know about it.

We probably will never know the story behind that car. As its now gone, this thread can be closed... Would one of the mods be so kind?

Thanks

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      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!?!?
