Disco lights lol. I can look at your air cond if you like since that's my trade. As for your lights flickering on and off, you might have had a power surge, might have been because of the air cond, can't really say without having a look. Maybe there is a sparky on the forum that could clarify this up?

if its flickering and what not, id say you've got an overload. might be worth getting someone to check inside the main switchboard. aircon could be overloading the board (which sounds unusual if its only doing it now)

legally i cant poke around behind the switchboard but that sounds like where the problem might be

I have seen this before It soudns like the neutral supply to your house has a week connection. You need a good neutral for the return circuit to work. Eg power goes to your light switch then light then to neutral. So if the neutral is not a good bond it will make the lights dip and everything wont have its full voltage. Is it worse with more turned appliances turned on. The neutral can brake at the top of the stobie pole or in you meter box. Find out if any neighbours are having the same problem. Ive seen 2 house next door have the same problem because they both shared the same neutral. It could also be the pole top transformer just about to die putting out high volts (which blows globes). If you can get a multimeter put it on AC volts and put in power point you should have between 230-250v. You will need a sparkie to check if it is your problem or etsa's then you can go from there.

snap...........that would have been my next thought actually brad............did so many service replacements over in whyalla on standby down to old broken neutrals

I guess you would see this up the pole where I would of seen this in the back of the meter box. Sounds like we need a composite crew to go have a look.

      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!?!?
