Hey guys,

I am hoping to sign up this week, first timer... just picking up my car this week (only just getting back into an import after years out of the scene).

What is the age restriction for passengers?, I noticed there is a Entrant under 18 years parent/guardian approval, but wanted to double check as my 15yr old brother is keen to come along and be a passenger if he can. I am assuming I just need to fill out the Entrant form again for him with me listed as the Driver?

Also, I will sign up for SAU membership and CAMS license on the day with pre-filled forms if that's suitable?

Will ensure fire extinguisher is in the car this weekend and buy a helmet for us both ASAP.

Thanks guys, looking forward to coming along!

Age limit is 14 and yes you're right, forms have to be signed by guardian/parent etc and of course proper clothes and helmet need to be worn. Both he and yourself will fill out separate forms for him being a passenger. Only drivers fill out the one you can download right now, the passenger ones are only available on the day. Please dont list him on your drivers entry form, instead leave an extra 5 mins at sign on to fill out the form for him and sign it.

Yes signing up for club and for L2S is fine on the day too, all in all you'll need 10 mins at sign on for all that so please come with enough time spare.

Can recommend the "Sydney Motorcycle shop" (locations around Sydney, google it) for helmets. Not too expensive for the plain black open faced versions.

Any other questions just ask!

Locker is no problems.

Being auto is fine too - manual isn't a requirement.

As long as it meets the requirements of having an effective muffler (eg would pass rego) and not a wastegate venting to atmosphere then you're fine.

Please write on your forms that you're multi entering a car, it makes our lives a bit easier

Thanks a million, just one more, with the passengers form, if it needs to be completed on the day am I able to complete/sign it as his "guardian" (for the day), seems a little hard to make our folks trek to sign the paperwork, if they *must* sign it, any chance of getting it before the day?

Hope to meet and greet a few folks there... even if I am not ready in time, think I will still show up to check it out.

Will check out Sydney Motorcycle shop and my local Motorcycle shop also, I have been looking at the eBay store recommend in the "So You've Never Done Texi Before?" thread. (Was looking at http://www.ebay.com....tm/260690153814 or http://www.ebay.com....tm/230361173743 depending on whether or not open face suits me better, but will drop by the local shops first to get a feel).

All good mate, it'll give you a new appreciation for your car and teach you to be a bit better driver (more in control). Keep in mind this stuff is purely for the track though! :)

I'm not sure as a brother signing for guardian, insurance can be picky like that. Send me your email address and I'll get the form sent in advance.

Go and try on open face and full face, you'll know pretty quickly which is the right one for you. The regulars at Texi for the most part use open face FYI, but go with what feels right to you

      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!?!?
