What Michael said.

There are some cool advantages to having a cage though,,,especially a full one.

1/ You will feel so much safer whilst thashing the crap out of her.

2/ You will now have proper anchoring points for a full harness and again you will feel safer whilst thrashing the f**king crap out of her.

3/ If you jack her up in the right spot you can change 3 wheels at once.

Cheers

Neil.

well it might be a bit late, but to answer your question, possibly yes.

In many sup regs cars which are not registered need a log book. And a log book needs a CAMS certified cage.

Instead of generic interweb advice, I'd check with the clubs you intend to run with.

I'm only new to the track scene and the only tracks days I'll be running in is anything I see on here and the sau championships.

I'm Not sure what clubs there are I could go through. So any info would be very helpful.

Can anyone expand on the Vic drifting requirement for a cage? Is that only for the guys in the actual competition, not the guys just out there having fun. Or do they not run them on the same day, and there are different events for amateurs that just want to have some track time

Ended up going a full cage 6 point with a few extras so I can enter wtac open class next year from mcqueen motorsport. Set me back around $2500 including mounting seats.

Bit late but you need CAMS specification half cage as a minimum for any Vicdrift event at all, you won't be allowed on the track without one, no matter what the event is or what class you are in.

      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.

      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. 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!?!?
