I live Cleveland area and i haven't been overly happy with a few mechanics i have dealt with and just wondering does anyone recommend someone locally?

Im just about to start dealing with APC racing and they seem like a rally friendly bunch of guys, also herd nothing but good things from brother in law and others regarding the quality of there work.

Another is Fist Performance at Waycol. Dad use to deal with them in his old R34 there good bunch of guys and know there stuff.

Considering you location you cant go past using ERD but yes the jolly green giant is going on holidays soon

If your after dyno tuning Godzilla have made a very good name for themselves producing some awesome cars of late.

APC leave a lot to be desired.

Good luck.

APC are danm good when it comes to evo's and wrx's avoid them for anything else. For nissans in my opinion you can't beat East Coast Customs at Kedron, I know its a hike but it worth it (i live in logan and go to them) they regularly have skylines being worked on there as well as silvias and 180's (they are doing my engine build at the moment) Give Rob a call on 33595466

      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.

      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!?!?
