Hi Everybody.

So I will be hiring out a workshop and 2 hoists for a large portion of the day - 6 Hours.

We will be incorporating this into a social get together and group meet, BBQ and Drinks,

basically put on a nice show for us.

The whole point of this event is to meet other enthusiasts, and have 2 Hoists for 6 Hours, to be able to get various

things done on our cars, from small things like general inspection, oil/fluid changes, boost controllers, intercooler upgrade, etc

to changing parts over while being to give each-other a hand. This is a great way to expand your knowledge and

repair your car or simply just meet and chat.

I will have Skyline R32, R33, R34 Skyline engine service documents on hand for quick reference.

Basic information :

- Location in Malaga starting around 9AM, will be on a Sunday.

- BBQ and Drinks will be available at $2.50/dog and $1.5/can

- 2 Hoists to share, floorspace available, 200pc toolkit, impact guns

- Photos/videos of cars.

To make this work we need participation and also help from other guys here as these things do cost money and time to organize, we would be sharing time on the hoist depending on job required, if you want to work on your car the prices will be :

- 4 People at $65 each for the day includes all tool hire, oil disposal

- 6 People at $45 each for the day inclues all tool hire, oil dispoal

I will be probably limiting the number of cars to work on to around 6 so we all get decent time and space but I may be flexible.

To come and meet and greet is free ofcourse.

Everybody is free to lend a hand to everybody.

In order to get numbers, please reply and mention whether you would be coming along for just meet and greet, or if you want to have your car in the shop, please mention too and the type of work required and also hoist use if required.

Thanks.

I have not set a date yet but it would be a good time in advance as we need to get interest first.

Oil change would be pretty straight forward so long as you know the correct quantity and type, I have a basic transfer/suction pump which is good for this.

Excellent I like cake, will really be nice to have desert so that is very awesome of you.

I am trying to make this a good value for money experience and because of that we do need members assistance as I can't do everything myself.

If anybody has some fold out chairs they can bring along it would help.

T_Revz when I confirm the date I will take into account people who are shift workers.

If you guys have friends with Skylines who are not here please get them on here

get the hype going and word out

I'll need a date to confirm as I'm a shift worker, and I'd only be a spectator or help others

Same as Trev, happy to come and talk shit as I have access to hoists and tools at work. But keen to meet some new peeps.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
