Dont be sorry mate, Jim Richards would have been sorry, the poor bugger, enters a new GT2 in Classic Adelaide and it went out before the first stage with turbo failure....and no parts in Aus to fix it. Sorry not to see him race and a wasted entry fee :D

Send them over and we will fix them for you Nick :)

Checked out your website....you have some very nice upgrades for the R35.

Pulled the ECU earlier this week, it's now in transit to RS Tuning (Reinhold Schmirler) in Germany. Should have the ECU & hardware in Melbourne 2-3 weeks.

MGS I am surprised that they made you send the ECU to them.

The process you are having performed is a conventional bench read/write on the Motronic. There are several companies (depending on which state you are in) that have the necessary hardware to read the PCM on the bench, email the program across to RS, where they can modify it and send it back. Interesting they didnt get someone to do this for you :)

Fully agree. DMS will bench read/flash the ECU locally. FVD, Softronic can read/flash the ECU via the port under the dash. Unfortunately RS Tuning do not offer this. Yes it is an inconvenience and this method also attracts import duties. But RS is regarded as the #1 Porsche Tuner.

MGS they probably do a nice 'canned' mail order tune for the GT2.

Nothing beats tailoring the the Motronic tune to the car on a dyno though, having said that there are tuners (particularly overseas) that cant match our mail order GTR tune with their custom efforts so I see where you are coming from.....and you cant be a total wanker, your car isnt red, doesnt have a dancing pony on the bonnet, and I bet you dont have a Puma Schumacher edition driving suit and booties on while performing the mobile chicane on track days. These are the qualifications of the true wanker :P

LMAO @ the miniature bunkers on your golf hole!

Your push bike in the garage is probably worth more than my house hahaha. Awesome toys you have there Mark...I don't doubt you would work some real prick hours as an MD. And hey, if you've got the goods then flaunt them.

      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.

      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!?!?
