Just do general maintenance things.

Clean out your air filter, replace fuel and oil filters.

Flush out your trans and radiator fluid. Do your spark plugs.

Take it down to a workshop and get them just to go over your car, making sure there is nothing out of the ordinary.

That's what i did, even on my 31, and that is nothing compared to yours!

Wow. Parts for the RB26 are so confusing. Everyone recommends different things and plays down the use of others.

:D

Yeah no shit hey. Trying to find out about catch can setups/ oil mods for some piece of mind and just when I get some useful info someone two posts down trashes it.

All I want is a lightly tuned reliable GTR.

  • Oil mods like which catch can, relocator and oil cooler
  • Front pipes (No I'm not going to AM Performance
  • Pods or panel filters
  • clutch, ebc, injectors, cams, fuel pumps.

Too many options, too many chances of buying a brand thats not going to work well.

Just ask the people on here that have the proven power and parts.

700cc is way to big for a street car, you'd only want 700cc's if you're planning on going over 400kw. 575's are big enough for most street cars.

I wouldn't go smaller than 700cc, I'll probably have to go bigger if i want to run E85.

+1

our bosses sit in an a/c office all shift and come out for maybe 5 minutes a night to give everyone the eagle eye and go back to there 20 degree room :D we move tons of freight hourly by hand rain hail or shine. i get paid decent to do it so i dont care heaps but to make us work in 40+ heat for the same wage and same hours is bit of a joke

Who do you work for? my mate works for Toll loading planes.

Some peeps may have heard of The Tunnels just up the road from me in Panorama........they're used to store wine now and maintain a constant cool temperature.

Be nice to park myself in there for the next week or so with a big screen TV and access to the various Grange bottles in there :thumbsup:

Some History: The Tunnels

Those tunnels where also used to grow mushrooms. I used to live there when i was little cos my old man owned SA Mushrooms and he owned them.

I wouldn't go smaller than 700cc, I'll probably have to go bigger if i want to run E85.

Well if it was e85, most definately 700 would be probably what he'd be after if he's just got a 'slightly modified' car... not enough stations for people to use e85 as a daily (unless they can somehow run a 98 octane petrol tune as well)

I'll go with e85 eventually but not until it starts appearing at more stations- until they do, its impractical for a daily.. then and only then i'd be upgrading, but for anything up to 450hp/320kw odd on premum, a 575cc will do that and still have headroom

-D

just keep turning it full left then full right and eventually it'll bleed out into the reservoir.

Brake however you will need someone for that.

did that on the weekend and still no better haha

and i sorta flushed the brakes with a mate but i need to flush it all out and put new fluid in i reckon

43 on the laptop..... man i hate this thing.

would be easier to run to the library, and read a book by the time i get any info i want....

dont get me started on teh pron... slooooooooooooow load equals no load

:thumbsup:

any one had any experience with fitting these?

i want to run it with this

in one of these.........

fuel tank in there atm hasnt been used in 3 years, so i hate to see the shit in the bottom, also

need to replace fuel pump anyways....

    • 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?
