These guys are about the only place I know of.. they do re-conditioning. not sure i would ever trust a 2nd hand unit, but if you could try the wreckers.

I have heard of GT8s being wrecked/parted out because they couldn't fix the gearbox. That is why most people recommend staying the hell away from them at all costs.

I can't imagine you can change to a regular auto gearbox, as the ECU controls the box and would get very upset if you changed the wiring/unplugged it.

If you had a donor car, you could probably do a swap, because you are likely to need more than just a transmission.

Yes, that company is in NZ, but when compared to repair costs, shipping will probably be fairly insignificant.

They may also ship a reconditioned unit to you so you can do a straight swapout, and then ship yours back to them.

It's most likely a simple fault, but finding someone willing to pull it apart and replace the noisy bearing/part is the issue. If you were at all mechanically minded I would suggest doing it yourself, if you can find a manual for it...

      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!?!?
