Hey guys,

I have come to a deliberation with my pride and joy. It only has basic bolt on mods & wheels. (pic below).

My question to you is... do you think I would get more for the car overall if I sold off the mods, and then sold the car stock? Or just sell it as it stands. More attractive to buyers with or without mods do you think?

I was in the same boat as you not long ago (get it? Cos the R33 is considered a boat? Get it? Get it?) and in the end, I sold it complete.

You would probably get more $$$ out of it if you were to part it out (and being basic bolt-ons, could be easy enough to do in your spare time) and sell it near enough to stock. I didn't have that option as the car would've required ALOT of stock parts and I just didn't have the time to do so.

I guess if you've got time (and don't mind delaying the sale), then part it out till it's almost stock. If you're after a quick sale, just sell it as it is :)

If they're just "basic" like exhaust, FMIC, pod filter, bleed valve etc it's probably best to leave it as-is, but if you have an aftermarket turbo, injectors, ECU, coilovers etc you should probably get more $$ selling it stock

Not trying to sound smug.

It's an R33 sedan - The interest on them is quite low - they are the most un-desired 4 door skyline IMHO.

If you want to move it fast, sell it with everything, but if you are happy to wait and have the stock parts - I'd sell the good bits separate.

I agree... It all depends on how motivated you are to sell quickly or not.

      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.

      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?

      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.
