+1 WAS, got my 33 back from him the other week; very happy with the work (100,000 service, oil pump, harmonic balancer, air con, cam cover seals, fuel gauge reseat)

(yeah Tristan I finally got it there :P )

Hey Owen,how much did it cost. :cheers:

All up, I got the 100,000 service done (swapped belt, all the bearings and shit, water pump), oil pump as well, spark plugs, changed cam cover seals, full radiator flush, replaced air con compressor and re-gassed, fixed up the fuel gauge... changed ancillary belts too.. possibly more but i can't remember, but i supplied all parts except the ancillary belts and spark plugs, was $1600.

farkin HUGE job changing oil pump tho

+1 WAS

anyone had experiance taking there 25-30 there? ive taken my old skyline there and have allways been very happy with them

i think matt had his 25/30 there from memory? or was it a 20/30, no idea, i know there were huge problems but i don't think it was WAS problem; was with the engine

from memory though, grain of salt etc

Take it to WAS. Go see Kon, tell him Matt and Tristan sent you.

As to the guy asking about 25/30s. He's fine with them, just as competent on them as any other motor.

Mine was there but had been built wrong, Kon helped diagnose it all, had it fixed up and I left very happy.

    • 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.
    • 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? 
    • 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.
