Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

I spoke to the chap with the Scarab at Baskerville about 12 months ago, I was quiet interested in his lhd 280Z until he lifted the bonnet to reveal a pushrod engine were once lived an L block.

And speaking of chook cookers still for sale now with new turbo freedoms fit a D9 dozer sized turbo and cook your chooks faster

Last time I looked at these it didn't work as Scrarab wasn't connected to Datsun in any way.

There were a heap built from memory though.

What you need is a good rotary.

How many Alex seals you blow while typing that :P

Ahhh,

soo much rotor love. I'm keeping my mouth shut as I am sure any tough talk on rotors will only come back to bite me in the arse when it self destructs at a really inconvenient time. :)

For your amusement....

I for one hope it all goes well for you Blaise and that you take it to the Porsches!

Cheers Woo,

i really hope it works out, but gut feel is I had a pretty lucky run with the evo and it was a robust, reliable fast car. I think I might be out of my depth with the Rotor, but I do like a challenge. :)

For anyone interested, am collecting the shell this week. In the background I have been chatting to some people in the know about the suspension. We got as crazy as looking to graft as much of an FD into it as we could, but I decided that was WAY beyond our capabilities. Have scaled back to not reinventing the wheel and doing a V8 supertaxi spec live axle rear end in it and updating the front end. Go as light as possible and try to get a strong reliable 350 odd hp turbo rotor for it..... dreaming I know. Reliable and rotor dont really belong in the same sentence:)

Really wish I was coming to THC. The missus and I had such an aweosme time last year and are both a bit sad we arent there this year. Best of luck to all those taking part. Wlll be living the dream vicariously following it on the internets.

I'm keen to come up for a chin wag at some stage but not 100% sure I'll be able to do so.

If I can make it I'll see if I can drag MrRB20 up and we can have some prelim discussions on Euro 2012 Woo.

You're not in Melb for any length of time are you in case we can't make it?

A few old Datto Z cars including Jon Siddens will be there for THC, hope they can stick it up a few 'non ABS equipped' Porkers. Well maybe they might have a chance against the 'budget', under $200000, ones :thumbsup:

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!?!?
