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

Granted the extra 15mm of the Z32 over the standard size Nismo body may make a difference but not as great as what you would expect cause they have similar resolution and the Nismo bolts straight on with no extra wiring......I'd be ditching the standard restrictive GTR piping if you have a few spare $$$ and go for some hard piping.

Also, PowerFC has a default select feature for the Z32 to get you started whereas manual imput is required for the Nismos.....not an issue unless you're tuning it yourself.

Suppose it boils down to price & personal preferance at the end of the day.

All good points Pete. I myself went the Nismo route, firstly I got them cheap, second, they are direct bolt up, no mods required and I don't like molesting looms and third, if you're really sneaky you can go through regency with them on. Z32's; no chance

Anyone got any ideas how to remove a Vspec decal from the boot lid without fking the paint?

Prepsol, or a thin nylon blade like we do at work (cut down ice cream containers work too)

Prepsol won't hurt 2-pac but will acrylic.......just don't use thinners, LOL :)

prepsol or wax and grease remover shouldn't have any affect on acrylic, but yeah thinners is a big no no.

yeah ive seen a few places with them for that much, but ive also seen a pair of z32's for the $300 mark ;\

nismo is probably worth the extra $300 tho

    • 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?
