Hey lads.. Thought I had better do a quick intro here since I am currently in the process of importing a PM35 Stagea (I think? 2006 model 3.5l rwd...)

I am a mechanic from Tasmania that has amassed a bit of a collection of old Fords, a Datsun and a splattering of Honda cars and a particularly nice Honda motorcycle ;)

I have never had much to do with Nissans apart from a part ownership of a R33 GTS which we bought as a bit of a basketcase, fitted a RB30 block then promptly sold before finishing the job..

I am hoping to keep the Stag for the long term and hopefully improve on what I think is already a nice looking rig!

So I don't know much about the standard features on the later Stageas but I was hoping it would be a good, comfortable highway cruiser (as I will be selling an old E32 BMW 7 and using this instead) I think it already has an exhaust (never been a big fan of exhausts on autos) and coilovers. I was hoping to fit cruise control and sort out the audio (looks like an aftermarket screen on the dash???) once it lands.

Ill post up a bit more in the Stagea section...

Anyway, hope to use some of the great knowledge from this forum and maybe even leave some of my own!

Cheers!

      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?
