apparently also used to create patterns/designs on glasses (mate is an optometrist, told me about this) - cheaper than actually MAKING glasses in that design/pattern.

would love to use something like this to refurbish my interior! not widely available in AUS as far as i know

Yeah, apparently they are located in Spain or at least their instructional facility is. Here I am thinking automotive when you're speaking of frames for glasses! That's what I'm so fascinated about. The possibilities!

A mate of mine is actually in the process of decking out a small warehouse on the Northern Beaches with some 3m x 2m fluid tanks and stuff to get this kicked off.

He didn't bother buying the $20k stuff from Spain, just designed it himself, and took it to a welder/boilermaker and got them to knock up a stainless tub with heat exchangers, etc.

Can't wait to see what he does with it. He's just ordered the machine you can load graphics into and will print it onto the sheets that the patterns come from. Pretty expensive start up costs though!

Just to give you an idea, he is about to sign a deal to get some ceiling fans, LED lightframes and some other small homeware stuff custom made for an architect.

But yeah, Sports equipment, car parts, instruments, shoes, pc cases, sunnies, etc etc.

please give us more details when he's got it up and running, and approx costs if possible? this would be VERY useful for people wanting to redo their centre consoles, dashes, all interior trimmings!

No probs mate, will do.

I know his stainless tanks are being made up at the moment, along with a small spray booth for applying clear coats on after, but the printer will be at least a month or so off. Pretty sure he has like 100L of the activator en route at the moment. I know he has started getting the standard patterns already (CF, Alloy, Woodgrain, etc)

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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!?!?
