Hi,

I have a 95 GTR r33.

Looking at getting the wheel re-covered...

Not sure wheather to recover the whole thing, or just the air bag part or just the outside parts...

Can people post pics of what they have had done for some ideas...

^^ as above i'd love to see too.

Btw, Adam at one stage CarToys (Hindmarsh) did recovering, they looked pretty good.

might get a quote from them cheers.

And mate that does look great! did they do it with wheel on or off? Who did it?

Also with an airbag wheel, whats the go covering the centre part? Can it be done, or more to the point should it be done???

That looks pretty sweet bro. Did you have to take off the steering wheel yourself and leave that with them? Which company did you use?

U would'nt be able to get the airbag module recovered as it is made of special material that folds open when the airbag deploys. i would suggest trying armoural on the airbag or failing that maybe even try shoe polish.

As for the wheel, reckon red stitching would look nice

      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!?!?
