Skyline Chassis/underbody brace

i have searched the web and all i can find is chassis braces for gay hatch backs and beemers. how come they dont have any for skylines and other imports as useful as it probably will be on drift/drag/circuit applications.

i know ive read a chassis brace instalation on an r33 in an issue of HPI (might write this on their forums) before.

so yeah am i not looking enough or is it called something different? ive searched these forums too under 'chassis brace' and 'underbody brace' but none are successful.

does anybody know if there is such things as skyline underbody/chassis braces and will it be equivalent to having a roll cage feeling?

cheers.

look up kts racing I think they make underbody braces around the gearbox, in the boot etc

EDIT: go to secretdrift.com.au, jump in the forum and look for a sponsor "import auto parts", they have a thread in there called bracing kits, some good stuff in there.

Steve, my old man and myself had to do some pretty major structural re-engineering of my R32 GTR pre-road registration (long story)... essentially the inner chassis rails were re-inforced, doorsills were replaced with steel tube, all welded up solid as a brick shit house. There is absolutely 0 flex in the body now and it handles fantastically.

My GTR is going to be up on his hoist tomorrow if you wanted to swing by and check it out. I'll be there from about 9am tomorrow morning.

I'm doing rear tie-rod ends, so I don't expect it to take too long; I'll probably be out of there by mid-day.

Cheers!

-Shaun

      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!?!?
