Well much to my shock, never seen this before however in the last week I have noticed a fair bit of police activity on the fwy, much of them pulling over cars between Russell road and Armadale Road. North and Southbound.

I was traveling across the Russell road bridge that goes over the fwy about 30 minutes ago and spotted a police bike who had pulled up on the walking path for the bridge/overpass, over the southbound lane with a radar gun and a hand radio. Pin pointing cars that were speeding down the fwy to another officer was sitting behind the bridge on the fwy, hidden on his bike waiting for the speeding motorist.

so be warned approaching overpasses from now on. Especially on that bit after Armadale road, because of all the crap traffic thats where it frees up and most motorists nail it down there in frustration of all the traffic soup they just sat in til Roe hwy. Not many peeps do 100 down there.

Yeah you see them doing it all the time where the graeme farmer hits the mitchell.

Another favourite is the tonkin hwy heading south after forrest rd. Same thing, traffic frees up, people nail it, cops are waiting.

At the end of the day, dont speed, and its not an issue

its all relevant. . .if WA cops went to Bali to do policing they would have a meltdown, scooters overtaking on the left of cars in the left lane and all sorts of things that would get you a ticket quicker than you could blink if it happened here and you know what?it all works!saw no examples of road rage, no speed cameras/radars , no cops hiding behind bushes ready to pounce on a motorist doing 2ks over the speed limit

And indonesia has a road toll of approx 28 000 deaths a year, compared to our ~350 a year.....

Population differences...congestion, infrastructure, density....

plus narrow/uneven roads, didnt see one prang on the road, altho i didnt drive in indonesia at all i felt safer on the roads there than i do here

I spent 10 days in China, saw 1 woman fall off a moped in that time,

it doesnt change the fact that the chinese kill over 100 000 people a year on the road, and seriously injure around half a million per year. And this is in a counrty where less than 30% of the population has access to personal transport.

My point is, comparing Australian roads to any other country (especially asian one) is stupid.

How is it stupid? an australian came off his scooter in bali today and died, is that the roads fault?

... Possibly? Lol. If he drove into one of the many pot-holes they have, then yes, I'd say that was a fault in the road. If not then obviously not, but I don't see what exactly him being Australian has to do with anything?

      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.

      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!?!?
