Marlin - Im a little scared to go full sequential. Im thinking i might try a gearset first... but im definately keen on replacing the stock brakes and a weld in cage for serious track time

You're sure going to need some brakes :/ A cage doesn't need to be weld in, a proper, I stress proper bolt in would do you just fine.

Re the 'box... fair enough too mate when a S6 Hollinger and other requirements to run/fit it add up to around $22k!

That's why I suggest dry sumping that lovely engine instead.... that'll cost around 10k to do it once, do it right. On any serious GTR it's one mod that is very much worth doing, and it will save you costly rebuilds down the track. Never have an oil issue ever again, it'll be totally out of your mind, and you'll be busy having fun while all the other guys are emptying catch cans and mopping up oil lol....

If you need a good box, let me know. We have a virtually brand new latest spec (upgraded selectors) PPG full dog box to suit you here for $6k. Ready to bolt in :D

bigmikespec - exactly what i was wanting. something that i interpret as a true japan style gtr...

just had a dyno run this week for a "check-tune" and made 468kw AND 590Nm @wheel's (all 4), pump fuel and 20psi and prolly say thats at 7,900rpm

p.s. thats also with a full exhaust system (hi-flo cat, muffler & exit muffler. HKS silent hi-power)

fun123 - from memory the head port its quite expensive process. i couldn't tell you how long the actually porting took because of all the other work i had done during the process. give the guys at gt a call and you can work out with them if it would suit your application to go this road (other porting work might suffice).

Well the time has come and im thinking of parting with my GTR. Any interested parties drop me a pm and we can talk.

Cheers.

      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.

      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!?!?
