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.

So I see, I only travel down that end once in a while

I'm sure their saving plenty of life's if there setting camera spots there....

when you come around the bend there is a retirement village with a pedestrian crossing to the bustop.

so naturally they dont want anyone speeding through there..makes sense to me

RWC checklist:

Remove 2-way diff

Re-install Hicas

Front tie rod ends

Raise about 1 inch

Re-install steering wheel

Remove exhaust and change

Change rims

Front fog light not working... I need s2 fog lights if anyone has them. 4 door fog lights seems to be a sealed light.

F**uarkkkkk! Bad luck man.

Can't go to another Roadworhty place? Or do Vicroads keep track of this shit?

When i got mine (major, RWC reqd) recently, they didn't need to inspect the car at Vicroads.. they said all they needed to do was sight the RWC, so in theory if you got a dodgy roady you'd be sweet

they only take photos of the egine baby and dash with ign on(all lights up)

and under the car from the front.. mine was done at holden when i got this 200.

The pics dont go to Vic roads, only if you get a defect within 30days. Vicroads will only THEN ask for the pictures from the RWC issuer to see how it compares to what they took

Yeah same with me.

Sorry I didn't word my questions properly but was a more of i.e.

Workshop 1: A million of things need fixing.

Workshop 2: Dodgey roadworthy & gets fixed here.

Does 'Workshop 1' still send in their inspection papers to Vicroads? If they did then Vicroads would go hang on something is not right here?

They take photos at RWC testing now :(

I could go somewhere else and try my luck I guess. Already paid $90 to see what needs changing.

If your desperate I know a guy in the south-east who looked past alot of stuff for me. But I'd only go their for a RWC don't trust the guy or the workshop.

      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. 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!?!?
