All the cars need a full cage. Some just hide it well. I plan on being out there towards the end of next year. No idea what I'll be driving though. What ever pops up on my105 cheap I guess.

Will be good to see some more sau'ers out there

Boz and I are building a budget s13 currently. It was cheap as a race only import.

Sr20det. It'll cost about 7k caged and built basic to go racing with a brake upgrade, seats harness blah blah.

Cheap cheap way to go racing.

Andrew you should look at buying something similar, it will still take some money and talent to get an s13 to the front but to run top 10 shouldn't be hard.

Cheers was just looking at a hq. but I think the slowness would drive me nuts. But it would be nice to have a car I could race anywhere if I move to qld or if mra stops running

I have no talent lol. But I just want to get out there

The money you'll spend doing the rb20 and buying parts for an r31 would be better spent on an s13.

A serious break down would be

Cage $2200

Seat and harness $1000

Brakes $1000

Rims and tires 17 inch $1500

Safety gear $500

That's $6200 if you bought new tires and paid top dollar for safety gear like isolators, seat and brakes.

It could be done for 4k.

S13's are also elligiable for IPRA.

I'd build an r32 GTsT over an s13 but the s13 is so cheap to buy and replace if it gets shunted.

      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!?!?
