anyone in done this?

the 25mm wider front and rear guards from viva garage are quite cheap and could make a decent upgrade for me to fit wider rims with lower offset

from what i understand the rear gaurds need to be cut up and then these put into place

but if others have done this how much has it cost you to fit and paint them??????????????? let me know cheers , even if youve just done the rears a price range would help ive contacted a few places in sydney and they cant even give me a rough estimate , the fronts shouldnt be too expensive, but i did want to patch up the holes for the brake ducts coz i dont really like them

I would be interested in knowing the costs involved as well.

I agree with you DaGr81 the brake ducts don't look very appealing but I couldn't find any other fenders without them either.

ill be doin this sometime next month when i can be bothered already got the gaurds just need to fit em and buy a gtr fuel lid

as far as it goes screw it on with sikaflex then fibreglass it onto the body

although i hear theres a bonding agent that you use to fill the gap between the gaurds and shell of car and then you just sand it back and bog over it

Yeah i done this to my r33 awhile back.

Basically have to chop the cars lip. Sikalfex the guard on, counter sink in some screws or rivets cut back 10cm or so from the ends of the panel and use fibreglass to mould it on and body filler to smoothen it out.

Costed me about $350 for the guards and $1000 to get it moulded on. 6 months down the track it started to get hairline cracks at the joins, so i went with GTR metal rear guards instead.

      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?

      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!?!?
