Sorry I missed the Xmas dinner, had a family issue to deal with. My poor eldest son felt the need to protect himself (with a blade) from his pyscho mother who was beating him. Not good....

sold my track car tonight to a sau:nsw member. Plus I've sold the house, out of here early January. Busy week with a lot happening.... able to move on with life now tho. Will be set for uni next year, things are taking a turn for the better.

I don't wanna be that guy, but seriously what has happened to spelling and grammar? I swear as the years go by, it just gets worse and worse on SAU. I dont give a shit about missing commas and petty shit, but the your and youre, where and were, some people just have zero idea. Hope they never have to write their own resumes and do an office job! Some people on here cant even string a sentence together ffs!

I think you'll find that most people that can't spell or use grammar actually work for the Advertiser...

^^^ how lucky was he to go over that rock wall - had he hit it they would have been identifying him by dental records! Nasty stuff - and yes those guys are freaking crazy!

If you haven't already, track down a copy of "Grand Prix: the Killer Years" - same sort of story, it gives you a whole new respect for racers and what they do.

yeah seen that a few years ago. pretty shocking the way the sports governing body let the conditions for drivers get to such a level, guys are needlessly getting killed in almost every race.

although the same could be said for road racing (not that i would agree with it)

I got these seals etc as part of a VRS kit I bought a while a go, does anyone know what they are / where they go?

There's 24 of the little brass cups on the left, so I'm thinking it's all valve related?

      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.

      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!?!?
