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

He said no photos of engine bay. Just underneath, with 1 wheels off and dash... He made a point about the Hicas and airbag lights cos they flash etc.

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.

RWC checklist:

Remove 2-way diff - Really?

Re-install Hicas - I should have one around somewhere.

Front tie rod ends - Bursons TE926-14

Raise about 1 inch

Re-install steering wheel

Remove exhaust and change - Really?

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.

Take the cluster out, very easy and remove the blubs.

Fark dude you got RWC raped :(

Definitely take the cluster out and pull the bulbs man, it'll be easier than refitting and you'll also need to never worry about it again :)

You shouldnt need to change the diff, thats farked :(

I'm fairly sure exhaust shouldn't need changing for RWC. Always thought it's fine as long it's secured properly and EGT sensor attached, and exhaust noise is EPA related or RW/Vicroads like to screw us lot?

That brings me to a story; Last December i bought a 32 GTR, seller said he had to put stock exhaust in cos the Apexi N1 is too loud to pass RWC, That being said, the system consists of 3" Y pipe, de-cat and stock catback. He then swapped back before I got the car.

yeh they do have to pass noise to pass a RWC.. but only at the discretion of the RWC issuer.. nothing to do with EPA

What?!

is it 90dB as per EPA or?

Victoria is now a very homosexual state...

Getting Hicas and stock catback from alex.

I was amazed at having to change the diff!! so annoying....

Im just getting the KKR adjustable pillowball tie rod ends

I might have a stock S2 diff you can borrow. Will check tonight.

I would just tell the guy you got the diff reconditioned and it clunks because it is yet to wear in, at least that is what the diff place told you....

      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!?!?
