A advertised night cruise through Nasho for a blend of modified cars at Christmas is asking for attention, thanks for the heads up, Ill keep well away from there.

Looks good!!:banana: madd way to end the year...

:laugh::rofl2: lolspec!! i checked that thread, no one sems to be goin from there and plus i heard they're doing their own shit cruise in the rain on sunday anyway

:unsure: WTF.... its a cruise, nice night out to Wollongong & a chance to see some nice cars... chilllax people!!!:spank: :spank:

Anyways, i hope to see afew people from SAU out if you can make it after the other Trackday @ Wakefield which looks awesome, spewing im working otherwise i'd be there for that too :action-smiley-069:

Did anyone go to this??

Heard it was a pretty big turn out

I actually went, took my old car, which I had to borrow off my mate :merli:

I usually don't go to these cruises, but I was bored so I gave it a go... Surprisingly, against everyone's belief and expectations every IMPORT driver was well behaved, no speeding or burnouts.

The only stupid burnout or engine revving I saw came from either Holden or Ford owners and them trying to drag everyone.. pfft.

i'm not sure about that, the R33 was doing quite a bit of revving and burnouts out of the car park, then at the right turn at the lights, I could hear it go nuts the whole way down, other than that, didn't see too much silly things, at the car park anyways.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • 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.
    • 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? 
    • 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.
