Ok so as i was driving up to Mount Buller for the Buller cruise my r33 decided to stop working.

So this is what i recall happening

Driving along (at speed limit of course)

I noticed i was loosing power while going up a hill so i dropped it down a gear

then i hear rattling which seemed to be coming from down near the cat converter

so then a dropped down to 3rd and i still hear the rattle and i'm loosing power

then i drop it down to 2nd and a SHIT load of white smoke pours out from my engine bay i pull over instantly and shut the engine off

i open the bonnet and it seems as though the smoke was coming from the back of the rocker cover

meanwhile the res of the SAU Vic guys that were behind me pull over and run up to see what has happened

I tried to kick it over and it just seemed like it had no compression so i thought ok i've done a gasket

Then the rest of the SAU Vic guys that were in front come back (thanks guys )

By then the smoke had died down and a few other guys confirmed that it might be the gasket.

once we got a tow truck organized and pick up my car i thought i will try and kick it over still nothing.

So now i'm home i tried to kick it over pumped the pedal like hell it finally turned over now my car sounds like this

So my first impression is tappets/lifters what do you guys think and would any of you guys know a rough price on how to fix it?

lol?

Unfortunently due to the sound quality, its going to be hard to say Exactly what it is. First thing u should do is stop runnning it, the more you run it in this state, the more damage you do. get someone out there who can have a gander in person. *doesnt sound too good.* its very possible you blew your turbo. imo.

I think its an N/A mate - Hence why its in the N/A section and why under car's its says R33 N/A ;) but 1+ on the stop running it..... get someone to look at it, its very hard to tell whats going on with that vid audio quality

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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.

      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!?!?
