but how u gonna use that much power in a rwd mate ? how u gonna get it to hook up even on low boost ? u gonna go a glide or somethin ?

Its still a street car so no glide. Id rather put in a PPG box.

This morning I had my rear guards rolled, ready for the future set of rear rubber.

Is it hard to control the power with the right foot, all or nothing? Or you can still modulate it fairly well.

I've driven a few xr6t's with around 550rwkw and at that power/torque level it is very hard to modulate torque with throttle position even when using electronic throttles. One was a track car which I spent hours on mapping accelerator pedal position vs actual throttle angle - the other variables were desired boost vs throttle angle and the point at which intake cam began to really advance. The car was drivable but still hard to handle mid corner.

Now u should find a rolling GTR shell so u can set it up with 4wd

1 of my mates is running over 320rwkw in his gtst & that is a scary handful asit breaks out in 3rd gear under acceleration...i couldnt even imagine what its like with 550rwkw. it would be frighteningly good though

    • 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? 
    • 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.
