damn those wheels look nice J Dawg....whats the specs on those wheels bro

18x9.5 +12 wrapped in 245/40/18

I was with him today when they were fitted and it looks very staunch from behind,

Love it :)

About coolers, Im in two minds about them.

The GT-R one standard is black... So I'll leave it like that and I am getting the front bar mesh so I'll be putting that on,

But if it were a custom system I'd have it all chromed up as it comes out the box :huh:.

He can't even do up a sump plug bolt without stripping the bolt and your going to let him do your cooler install :\ Your game!

I joke :)

Anyone think it's worth painting a FMIC matt black to maintain a stealth look?

I painted mine black to hide the stone dents... some people on other forums have suggested that painting the fmic black helps with heat exchange due to the color black being a heat absorber rather than a reflector like white but tbh I cant see how it makes any difference - esp since putting paint on acts as an insulator.... either way I did it for cosmetic reasons and it does look a lot better imho

I think the FMIC's look better now black too. Not into the wank wank bling bling look at me look at me factor.

Ben, I also caught 4 squid this morning down at Brighton Jetty. Probably could've got more if I had some more lead

How come u needed lead? Usually they congregate under the jetties...

Didnt get anything last time I went to Ardrossan (nothing legal or edible that is)... blue swimmers are very small this year for some reason

It was quite blowy this morning at 6am so I was having trouble getting the squid lure to sink deep enough. Most of the bluey's I've seen locally are small too as are the tommies

When u got the right tools, some know how and some mates who know how to help out it really does help.

Got Andrew coming down Monday to start with the engine. Hopefully I got everything now.

Next is some nismo parts to freashen up the front end. So hopefully in 2-3weeks it will be all running.

been out fishing four times on various nights/various locations this week, holidays ftw!

blue swimmers are very small this year for some reason
Most of the bluey's I've seen locally are small

we cleaned up a good amount of size and some absolute cracker size blueys off grange jetty late Thursday night / Friday morning. We did throw back a shitload of small ones however. picked up a few big sand crabs too.

Every time we pulled the nets up, never empty. More crabs than an 80s hooker's bush. After 1am we were the only ones on the Jetty, and that's when we bagged most, and the biggest.

it was dodge tide that morning apparently, so we didn't try for fish or squid.

      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!?!?
