wallystyles, the owner of J-Spec's pet car is his Kakimoto widebody R33... which has the original/full kit (dunno if yours is a copy or not, but you don't have the kakimoto wing that finishes off the kit, and also one of the most expensive n rarer parts). But yeah yours looks damn similar. There's a company owned by or somehow linked to Simon (one of the Autosalon judges and owner of performanceforums) that fits widebody kits to some of the R33's they sell up in QLD, maybe your cars one of theirs.

I'll have my R32 widebody in a month or so too :rofl: what width rims do you have at the back n what tyres do you use. I'm tryin to find 12" wide tyres for the rears but no luck or very very exxy.

Here's a few pics of the original kit...

Rb25 transplant is on hold... was gonna take the RB20DET out of my old man's ceffy but that's too much hassles.

Widebody kit is definitely still on, its comin from japan in a few weeks, and should be copied and ready to put on a month after... should be ready for MAS Sept :cheers: I can take out the all looks but no go award, if the osman's don't put their yellow bathtub in

      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.

      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!?!?
