raj had some good prices for his 2nd hand gear and the china stuff , not crazy cheap but not rip offs . He had a good collection of random stuff in that section upstairs which lots of wreckers don't keep , saved lots of people's asses heaps of times.

at the end of the day a real shop can not compete with some kid sitting on ebay or the internet forums posting stuff out of his bedroom

no problem if thats what you wan't but with a real shop you can go and get it on the day , look at , check it , if theres problems exchange it.

I remember going there god knows how long ago... can't remember what I was looking for but I remember it was farken expensive.

All the good deals are on the interwebs these days :)

Overall he wasn't expensive compared to other legit shops in Perth, you cant compare his business to some key board warrior working out of his bed room.

Any way a lot of the second hand parts he had in stock wont be popping up at a later date when needed, they were binned or sold as scrap value.

Should of seen the pallet of GTR carpets thrown out, images below are examples of what now is scrap metal, was so much binned gave up caring what they were for.

Another thing, this is one less workshop complying cars like R32's, R33's, 180's and so on, with others shutting down in the New Year.

Less competition drives the prices up.

Whats it cost to comply a 32 coupe ??

Steve May / Mayhem is still around although nearly impossible to get a hold of.

lol

If he's in the country he's pretty easy to get a hold of.

Emails are the best bet though.

^^ Any word on if their stock is being shifted to another business? or is it all in the bin ?

All stocks gone now.

People heard they were closing down and bought heaps of stuff cheap.

Far as I know left overs got sold to kyp.

I went there as Raj was shutting up shop. Got bulk stuff cheap i couldnt say no to cheap cheap. Got bulk head lights ect for spares was like 10 bux each or so. Was happy like a kid in a candy store. But yeah pretty sure everything has been binned if not he still has the "performance" parts. Thats was a few weeks ago tho so it could have been sent to KYP by now? Other than that all the spare parts they had was all smashed into big bins and sent to heaven hahaha

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?

      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!?!?
