Can't think of a single car that I wouldn't want black. Bitch to keep clean but it really does just work with anything. Though I am getting partial now to satin finishes. I saw a territory (of all things) the other day that was a similar colour to that millenium jade r34 (olive green) but in flat/matte rather than gloss..... Not bad....

I'm thinking of having my black 33 resprayed in satin black but I'm worried it will come out looking as though I badly need to polish it.....

^^ Terry, need lower ride height :D

Black looks better.

Well it's already lower than the stock V-Spec height (white one) and the driveway already complains LOL

We had to fork out $400 to make a speed hump so the car wouldn't scratch itself (on the concave surface) - hehe...

Cheating grass pic :laugh:

Looks nice man!

For black to look perfect, all the swirls need to be polished out > sealer > canauba

Eugene of JDM Performance (here on SAU) deserves the credit on that 'Pearl Black' above.

Ph. 0421.141.538 here in NSW. He uses a lot of USA stuff.

Silver looks terrific too on R34s. You only need to see the Z-Tune GT-R to be convinced of that.

Hi,just curious.Do any of you know how to delete your own post ? I want to delete this one because I posted it by accident.

Help anyone ?

    • 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. 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.
