Noticed there's a Team Red Stage sticker on a white ford station wagon in the carpark at work. Wonder if that's the same person with the 33 4 door?

But given he hasn't noticed he's been spotted maybe not much chance he'll see this!

Although... There's something pretty white and shiny in there today. 500kw daily driver FTW!

The point of the 400+kw etc threads is it makes it easier for people to discussed things and look for what setups people are running rather than trolling through the massive thread of people putting a pfc in their standard car and running 200kw. It is also an easier place for discussion for common known hurdles around certain power levels etc.

They are actually very useful threads.

I get what the point of them is. Unfortunately I read more rubbish than good.

I'm well connected with multiple workshops that are going to give me much better factual information based on experience which is 100000000x more valuable than some of the shit I've read in there.

Each to their own. I dont believe most of the crap thats on here, nor do i take everything i get told by workshops as gospel. My opinion only. I dont expect anyone on here to believe what i write, for all they know i might be 13 and own a pushbike and nothing else, and have never worked on a car.

What works in/on one engine may not work on/in another. Trial and error is the only way you know what works and what doesnt. Just sucks its so expensive and time consuming. Power figures are just a number, you can make the dyno read whatever. As long as your happy with how it goes who gives a fk!

Yayyyy ive finally been spotted haha. The white wheels are 34 gtr wheels that have been painted white. Unfortunately the super loudness has finally got me a defect so it will be off the road for a while. Going to get a heap of stuff engineered

I've seen you plenty haha, I'm in the grey 32, saw you after the downshift meet as well.

But bummer to the defect.

    • 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.
    • 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? 
    • 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.
