Do you not have one at all, or is it yours is stuffed and not available new?

Well basically, my brakes have failed in mine - check list that has past are - calipers, hoses, lines, air locks, etc. and the booster but ultimately it has come down to an internal leak within the Master due to pedal going to floor and is really soft.

have also spoken to mechanic's as well with the same conclusion being the front piston seal has given way...

I don't think they are available new? But i haven't been given the chance to call round due to work + Funds are not the brightest at the moment either...

I'm just thinking that just about anything from the wreckers will be similar in condition as they are duty bound these days to remove all fluids, due EPA regulations.

I have to go to Dapto on NSW south coast (just past Wollongong) in next few days, so I can look if you like. Weather permitting!

There must be a brake & clutch specialist up your way that could tell you if it's rebuildable. They put stainless sleeves in them and then a kit and they come out like new, but time line is pretty much untested. When there is nothing else, your choice in minimal.

Cheers, D

Cheers for the reply bud, i am getting a quote from the mechanics next to my work on how much the brake/clutch specialists a couple of suburbs away would charge to rebuild (fingers crossed) if they can and if so, i am hoping it wont cost an arm and a leg :banana:

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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.

      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.
