Welcome to the forum mate.

I dont think you posted a pic? I cant see it.

There are many workshops i can recommened who have excellent service.

Just depends on where you live and if you are willing to travel a bit etc..

Also mods do you want done?

Anwyays i recommened ricol automotive at peakhurst. Have excellent service skills and know there imports really well.

Have got many things done by them.

Search the forums and you will find more lists of workshop.

Enjoy your new car

I don't want to be alarmist.....but if you are running 17psi on stock turbos you *will* blow one or both of them sooner or later. And then often little bits of ceramic exhaust wheel make their way into the bores, scoring them like crazy before block oil feeds and causing a bearing to spin. Leaving you with a totally screwed motor and $6k bill.

Turn the boost back down to 12-14psi and get high-flowed standard or aftermarket turbos before you turn it up again

thanks for the great advice fellow members :) . i had the boost wound down to 14psi today.

my car seems like it go's so slow now. :)

the last thing i needed was blown turbo's or engine

i was an owner of a s15,and it used to run 17psi all day long with no problems at all. and it had factory turbo. So i thought the gtr would handle it no problems. . . ;)

GTR turbo's have ceramic wheels that fall off and can disintegrate when they are spun too hard... ie>14psi.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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!?!?
