Agreed, Macedon Summer run would be wicked. Some of those little back roads on the way to Yea were pretty awesome although somewhat tight is some sections. The weather was pretty average but that made it a little more challenging, I've never really been too keen to take the GTR out to the twisty's in the wet so it was good to see where it starts to break free. I def need new front tyres, those Jap made Bridgy Adrenalines are SHITE!! one of the worst tyres I have ever had in the wet. The Kuhmo's on the back held all day no matter how hard I stamped on the GO pedal :)

Thanks Dan for putting together such a great cruise! Had an awesome time. Unfortunatly I had to turn back after we got to Yea but had fun nonetheless. Finally had a chance to take the XR through some twisties and it was great! Thanks Al for keeping me company all day too :)

Looking forward to the next one!

Dave, good work.

How much lower than before?

You may need to bin these side skirts and rear bar for factory aero.

Off to the garage to see what else I may have break :)

Had a great day driving, was a little too wet for a real beating through those twisties though. I wish I had of known about that Bakery with great pies as those chips and nuggets were not the greatest from the place I went to. I need new tires on my fronts as under steer was ridiculously sketchy through those decent corners I almost went off the road and no 4WD didn't help either.

Thanks to Dan for organizing the day I had a ball.

Mt Buller sounds good

What did you break on the cruise?

Good question actually...

I'm baffled but will re check the clamps (have checked them 4 times already!) then check the piping, hope I get it sorted before Saturday so I can drive up to Shepparton - failing that, borrow my mum's mighty Corolla.

pics fellas!

I took my DSLR but took no pics after the meet up. It was way to wet to be taking the camera out :down:

I do have video but at 150MB per 10mins, it's a bit big to upload anywhere. Plus it's incar footage so usually just the back of the cars in front of me ;)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
