The 2nd photo is a good example why we have to have intrusion bars on our imports. Why they dont have them in japan is beyond me.

R33's and R34's have intrusion bars as standard.

It's a cold hard fact,,,if you race hard on the street that sort of crash is always a possabilty....The 1st cars not that bad,,,,the rear end has absorbed most of the impact,,,the o/s/r 1/4 has done its job very well. As for the 2nd pic ,,,well hope no-one was in the passenger seat,,,,. I see this crap on a regular basis,,,,We actually drive a VERY safe cars......Sick person I am,,,,,can I have the Wheels off the 2nd car,,,they look okay.

Side intrusion bars would (and did) do sweet FA on the car that poled the passenger door!

Just thought I would make mention of the two pictures I contributed to wreckedexotics.com :)

      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.

      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?
