Partners 2011 Golf GTi is exactly 6km out and VW say they are all the same :blink: I know my R34 is about 1km out but i assume its the tyre size being 1% off stock maybe...

That's hilarious, coz I reckon my 2012 Golf (pleb spec, not GTI powerzzz) is 6km/h out too!

manfacturers actually put a difference in from factory.

i believe it to be to compensate for different brand tyres and the like.

Yep, checked it VS various GPS etc and gone through heaps of speed cameras exactly 6 over and no problem, they reckon there is nothing that can be done about it!

My car is pretty close though which is handy, although with a speedo that only goes to 180 it is pretty useless :P

My GTR is 8km out, where-as my daily driven EG civic is over 10km out, so when it shows 60 i'm doing 50!

Your Civic is defectable then...

That means at 120KM/H on the speedo, you're doing 100KM/H... This means you're 16% out... Which is outside the boundaries...

None of those road rules should be a surprise to anyone...

Edit: Manufactures actually make them read over so they get no law suits from noobs that got a speeding fine from a brand new car. It's just to cover their ass.

Yeah I know, I just compensate my speed for it..what do you expect for a 800 dollar leave at the train station car :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      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!?!?
