without tune its costs massive on fuel

the way to describe the turbo whine is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

i have a tiptrinic and i find it likes to shift to 4th and just slip winding boost to 5psi under slow or slight uphill applications, hoding gear in 2nd or 3rd sees at the same revs a locked trans and 10 - 20 inches of Hg - no boost

invest in an exhaust to hear your motor (not rediculously loud) and a boost guage because boost = cash

still tiptronic is fairly quick and easy to use, normally although sluggish responds quickly and shifts without jolts etc.

i'm looking to get a nistune but i see no point w/o electronic boost, dump, front mount, cold air, fuel pump until then its rather pointless as you cant milk the gains as much

but the stagea does not have a fuel economy figure - it has a fuel CONSUMPTION!

still a great car and one of the nicest things to drive, tows brilliantly, safe as, sounds fansastic with exhaust, heaps of room

even in stock trim its brilliant

ahh i was wondering what that extra wear was from....thanks carl :P

Thats why Commonwhore drivers, when they don't have passengers, place their upper torso over the centre console ... to even the weight distribution, so their fuel lasts longer and tyres last longer for those one peggers. :D

Hey i have had my stagea for over a year now. I have an auto, no mods and i use it as my daily drive from aldinga to glenelg and i get 520 to a tank. When i was driving from aldinga to the hub every day i was getting 550-570. I don't drive it hard but i still have a bit of fun. I love my stagea and i have owned a 33 before but totally wouldn't go back. I do have some rust under my mirrors but that is about it.

i never wanted something that had been modified.. as for price it has to be the cleanest low km stagea i've looked at in adleaide for that price. and in the flesh it is immaculate.. buying another modified car didn't interest me, been down that road before and your basically driving some body elses creation. all mods i want to do myself that way it's all mine.

That is a good price for a tidy stag. Right priced :)

Sounds like you're sold. Hurry up and get it then, so you can come on a stag cruise. :D

      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.

      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.

      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!?!?
