You know, I try not to be difficult about this sort of thing, but....

1/ You posted this in Motorsport Builds even though this is neither about Motorsport nor a Build thread. The top topic in that section is very clear about how that section works

2/ You've asked for advice on a good mechanic but have not said where you are in your post, and you didn't fill in location in your profile.

I'm sure people would like to help but you need to let us help you.

Have used JLM since I picked up a Skyline, they definitely know their stuff and our car is 10X better because of it, goes pretty damn hard now compared to when we bought it. Senior swears a lot but it generally means he's sorting something solid out.

      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.

      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!?!?
