Happy Laps - Queensland Raceway 22-03-14


Recommended Posts

I more than likely will be coming (to this and the tuned performance dyno),

none of friends invited have committed as yet,

and hopefully the repair cost for the intermittent misfire on the silvia doesn't blow all my spending money.

Doesnt matter what you bring,as long as your there,just a great morning,i find these happylaps better than the ds ones,but thats just my opinion.

not long now,checked all my intake pipes and hoses,cleaned out the throttle body,and cam cover,took it for a quick squirt to make sure every thing was ok,now only have to wash,fuel up,and ill be ready to roll.Only way to keep reliable is by doing regular checks.ps,also did an oil change and filter,just because.

If you like actually going a decent pace around a track they are far better than the DS ones.

I did my first DS on the weekend, was good but to many cars, and also developed shuddering through steering when braking down from high speed. Any ideas I believe it could be rotors? Will hopefully get it in before Saturday's fun.

Is it really bad shuddering? I get some slight shuddering after my rotors heat up but as soon as I get on the road they are perfectly fine again.

List updated with cleared payments. If you haven't paid yet please DO NOT pay into our account now as it may not clear and be confirmed by saturday, just bring cash (preferably correct please) on the day.

Yeh only at high speed, and yeh seemed to be after about 45mins of driving plenty of heat.Driving back home at 100/110 seemed ok. Spoke to my mechanic tonight he reckons rotors more than likely, and i might get some new pads aswell.

    • Lamb roast on Saturday will be different 🥲
    • 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? 
    • 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.
