You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

damn i need new camber arms, running stock camber arms with natural camber is so shit, like -3.5deg camber

i think i'll just replace the worn out rose joints on my adjustable arms and put them back in instead of buying new adjustable ones

The latter, if I had a roller I'd do em myself.

Just make sure you don't get too aggressive. Too often on cruises you see guys who'd have the "backyard roll" done and the paint is stressed, there is unevenness in the guard... Nasty stuff all for the sake of saving a couple bucks and spending a bit more time on it.

was not me.. I just found out tonight caus I was busy all day/night and hadn't read my msgs

If members (that is you guys), can't play nice, be civilized and present the club in a positive light that is what happens.

Committee are discussing the issues and I would hope for a consensus by the time of the November Gen Meeting.

For those experts out there, just curious if the spark plugs I took out this weekend looked ok and are supposed to be this dark in colour?

Normally a mechanic takes them out and I don't get to see them but this time me and my mate who is also a mechanic took them out this weekend.

Cheers Bud!

Yup got real lazy in changing them. These have been in for about 17,000 Km's..... I know :spank:

I'll change them every 2nd oil change from here on in. Just need to be shown how to do it, which seemed easy enough.

Sparks look fine Tony...normal build up considering how long they've been in for.

Easier on your SR20...you don't have to remove half of the intake piping and if I recall correctly your coilpacks don't have individual screws :/

spark plugs take me about 45 minutes to change being meticulous (cleaning threads of the head etc.).

yeh thats what I said.

nah the coil packs have individual screws.. i snapped one of the studs in there which you just reminded me to fix lol but yeh it only takes me 15 minutes to change all the plugs i just do it every service.. probably overkill but its $12.00 and 15 minutes extra.. rather than keeping track of when they went in

Cheers guys!

Yeah when my friend was taking out all the shit to get to the sparkies he kept on saying luckily I have this tool, otherwise if you did this yourself at home it would be a bitch for you to get 'x' screw out.

I get jelly when I hear my friend changes his spark plugs in his s15 in 5 mins.

      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?

      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.
