Bout to head down to sprints and get some stuff for my first oil change since owning the line.

Will 10w40 be sufficient? Say mobil 1.

Which oil filter should I be looking at.

Cheers!

I use Shell Ultra Helix 05W40, and a Ryco Z145a oil filter. Haven't tried the Mobil stuff, but as long as it is a good weight, it should do the job fine, and you replace it often.

Ok I'm posting this in here, because it's as discreet as I can possibly be.

My agent picked up a genuine R32 GT-R N1 with a genuine 112,000km on it, grade 4. Would work out to roughly $27K landed and complied..

I'm mentioning it because the buyer I had for it is overseas and seems to be stupidly hard to contact at the moment, so if someone wants to get it quick, let me know. I'd love to see it come to SA.

If you've lusted after one, this is probably your one and only chance. Only 228 were ever built, and this is the first one I've seen come available for 7 months.

Damn you Kristian, tempting me like that! Could always scrap the Maxima idea :)

Just to increase the peer pressure on our Skylineless mod & VP of SAUSA...

I found an R32 N1 5 weeks after I bought my grey R32 GTR. And I had bought that one only 6 weeks after buying the white GTR that Dohmar now owns. At the time I said to myself "I can't buy 3 R32 GTRs in 3 months having never even sat in one." Kind of wish I had now.

I think Pete should get it just so I can laugh myself stupid when he steps out of a non airconditioned vehicle after a long drive in ambient temps over 35'c

Comedy gold.

The week before this guy contacted me, I'd seen two go through auction! I was telling him, yeah I've seen a couple go through lately, shouldn't be a problem lol. The hard part is finding N1s in good enough condition to comply - most of them saw track work, so it's unusual to find clean street cars.

Pete I can't find your email address - email me and I'll send them back :thumbsup:

You could get them optioned with a/c and it would be easy to get it fitted once the car was over here.

I'm surprised Kristian hasn't done it to his R34 N1 (he may have since last summer).

      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!?!?
