well today i got the dump exhaust off..to fix the exhaust gasket leak.exhaust.. turns out there was maybe 1mm of the flange that WASNT leaking. When I pulled it off to fix it, it looks like the exhaust shop that did the exhaust did a dodgy, and shrunk the 3" to about 2.5" and put the stock flange back on (never taking it there again). Scotty the f**kn legend cut some of the exhaust off put it back to 3" with a new flange.. fixed.

Ok so made up a new gasket from Gasket material, with some gasket/exhaust seal. n put it back together..

it set.

Started the car.. i'de safely say about 50% of the turbo whine went away...sounds normal now..

still gonna take it to the turbo shop on monday to let him have a listen first..

once this all finished. i made some great souvlaki's and now im full and scotts so full he cant breathe!. goodnight Stagea owners.!

Glad to help.

You can cook those spicy souvos anytime mate, yum. :cheers: (sorry I know, you don't drink) :)

I just get a black spray can and paint the i/c (just the front face) and piping black.

Isn't the stealth kit more expensive? Did they charge you the extra for it?

If not, I'd be spraying it yourself. Just use a satin finish.

did a service with Motul Chrono 300V + Greddy oil filter last weekend, i'm amazed at how smooth the car runs.

stewart warner boost gauge in, and reinstalled the foglights.

thinking about spraying the roof section between the rails gloss black - think it will look nice with the twin sunroofs tinted out. thoughts?

anyone seen the 14point7.com widebands?

$100 for the controller, $50 for the o2 sensor

diy (basic soldering)

will probably be my next purchase (eventually)

also, mine is running pretty averagely, bogs down on cold start, feels very doughy, hesitating a bit :-/

i have a receipt for iridiums fitted about 20,000kms ago

i think i found it tho, someone has previously cut and replaced some of the wire going to the afm but only crimped it

so i soldered some new wire in and now it seems good :)

solder adds resistance to the wire, hence the crimp :)

Also on thin gauge wire, if too much heat is used, soldering can remove the annealing (which makes the wire malleable) from the copper and make the strands more susceptible to fatigue breakage.:thumbsup:

Yep, just some Jaycar 5awg wire and some electrical ring connectors!

what do you ground?

as to the soldering, slightly higher resistance is better that random connections

i'll measure the resistance across it later

Recieved a box today containing my R33 calipers!

Got all the lines, shims and clips, and as a bonus what appear to be a virtually brand new set of brake pads :thumbsup:

Now for some offset brackets & bigger rotors...

      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!?!?
