you'll need the z32 after you hit 300kw tho... or go for the more expensive nismo afm

speaking of z32s, wheres the cheapest place to get em from, with the plug?

-D

From what i know about the Nismo AFM's the Z32's will still out flow them. Like you said the nismos are more expensive and really the only advantage is that they are 60mm (which is why the Z32 out flow them). A mate of mine just fitted some Z32's to his 33 GTR and with a bit of heat you can stretch the factory intake pipes over the bigger Z32's anyway.

what did the pressure one set you back ?

I honestly cant remember, over $100 iirc but I cant recally precisely how much. it also depends on how many addons u need

i had to get a couple of fittings since I was mating the VDO gauge to an omori plug (as the omori gauge had failed a long time before i got the car) so it cost me a little extra.

VDO are probably the best mechanical gauges on the market. If you want electronic then some of the jap brands will suit you well, but the VDO's are made by siemens germany (who incidentally made my injectors) and so I can give them two thumbs up

Accurate as hell.

thats very true, the bigger diameter of the z32 is a great performance advantage, however its a blatant regency no-no...

the nismo is a little more stealthy but probably just as illegal as the z32

so yeah, ill be going for the z32, maybe I can get it engineered. i imagine it can be, as one is only making the inlet diameter wider and putting in a more accurate afm....

then again, this is rannistan

its a emissions item so they aren't going to like engineering it. Also i don't think that is the emissions testing equipment in SA that is suitable to fully test a new tune. The emission test they make us do is basically testing that you have all the factory gear working correctly they then just rely on the factory tune meeting the standards that it is supposed to.

when i get my 25 conversion engineered i'll be going interstate anyway (even though i don't need a full emissions test) because it'll cost 20% of what it'd cost to get it done here.

mm that bites...

thats the sorta thing that would be kinda fun to challenge in court (if one was very wealthy) - the failure of the govt to provide adequate testing equipment as well as the stupidity of trying to enforce laws that they have no means of testing accurately. If it wouldnt cost so much money, it'd be a worthy waste of time.. (even representing yourself, court can cost a lot unfortunately)

It is officially 1 year since my good friend in Dimitirious Ninos passed away in that accident on Taplies hill rd and the high speed collision with the stoby pole in that silver WRX.

Still finding it hard to accept.

Sorry to hear mate. May I ask, was that the crash that involved another WRX?

My now-ex mate, Corey, was involved in one of the high speed crashes. He was driving a Green or Blue WRX, was racing another car (pretty sure it was a rex). The other car had fatally crashed either into a pole or a tree, but Corey being a complete prick, didn't stop to render assistance, instead he just drove away fully knowing that the other car had crashed.

He got caught soon after and was arrested for it. He's currently facing court but I'm unaware of the outcome - but jail time is on the cards.

I still cannot believe he didn't simply pull over to provide assistance, but instead did the selfish thing and left the scene. Since then, I haven't spoken to him and neither have my mates... we all disowned him.

He was in the paper a few months back (front page) but would love to know the outcome in court. It was only a matter of time before something like this happend. He would race any car out on the streets at any oppurtunity and never seemed to learn his lesson.

      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.
