Alright guys, iv had my R34 GTT for almost a year now, and its struck me, that i may be wasting my time spending so much money on it. Now dont get me wrong, i love it to bits but i want more......

Well, if i had the money i would get an r34 gtr. I quite like the f6 typhoon aswell, the newer ones especially. Not to mention they are really quick and fairly easy to mod.

I wouldnt go near the s15 though.

But thats just me

My brother-in-law has recently bought the Ford F6E. Whilst it's a nice car with mod cons eg roof, tow bar, leather yaddayadda, he knows he didn't buy it as a pure bred high potency super sports car. We take our cars down the south coast through Macquarie Pass and it just can't stick to the tarmac like the GT-R. If the rear steps out through a twisty, you just can't predict how soon you can get it back whilst you still try to keep the power on. It's a very tidy sports tourer. If that's what you want and tow something in the bargain, get the Ford.

I bought the GT-R with the dynamics of a super sports car already built in with its chassis, brakes, power to 4 wheels, cornering, damping, suspension. It also has had its potential of upgrading semi-aroused.

One more thing, I have lost virtually nothing in depreciation since I bought mine 3 yrs ago. :whistling:

Poor Craig has lost approx 15-18 grand. :thumbsup:

One of my friends recently got rid of his new typhoon. Said it was nice and quick (he's a ford nut and never owned anything else) but it had constant gearbox problems (manual). He got sick of taking it back and after the 10th or so time he told them to keep it and traded it for the V8 version. Not as fast but hasn't had any problems with it. I'd go the R34 GTR.

GTR will be twice more expensive than a GTT. So watch out.

S15 are cheap to run and fuel... Im considering an s15 myself.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      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.

      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!?!?
