Hey guys new to the forum and skylines (sort of). Anyways this thread is for me and mate and the R32 GTS we`re building up.

Okay so we started out by buying the car from Harvey bay for 5k (we now realise that it was not worth that much, but we're young and dumb, it happens) got it home to caboolture, got a roady and Reno and drove it around for a few days.

After realising that its not as quick as we thought it would be the search started for a turbo motor.

Picked one up for $500 and been waiting to put it in.

Now the gearbox is on its last legs so time for it to come off the road and the build begin :-)

So far the mods done are:

5-stud conversion

Alarm

Stereo (needs to be better)

Thermo-fan

Exhaust (no idea what kind)

First things to fix:

Front wheels have different camber (im thinking bent control arms)

Handbrake not too good (needs adjustment)

Engine miss (new coils and plugs, only happens when cold)

Steering coloum missing

Gearbox fudged

Headlights don't adjust and point in rediculous directions

Tint purple

Various body work and rust

Future plans:

Turbo conversion

HD clutch

New body kits

HIDs

Coilovers

Bigger and better audio

GTR dash

So that's the story , any feedback is good so whack away

(Photos to come)

    • 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?
