Hey Harry, the bmw guy was bloody quick and he gets his class win again next year because in 2017 I'll be taking the Radical. The only chicane was in front of the school which confused me greatly on my 1st run. Your right though all basically 90 degree corners, but a top of 3rd gear straight which was fun.

Dale, yes it was very social,,,I sat and spoke to heaps of other drivers which I would not normally do. lots even sat down at my pit bay for a great chin wag. Mark Ledgerwood in the Baja buggy was very entertaining,,, looked like a 60's pot head but was a very nice guy.

Here's a link to the pics that the Trapnell's took, Melinda is buying the cd so we have a record of my shenanigans.

Cheers

Neil.

It's a great event and pretty sad I missed it this year. should be there with bells on for next year. Might even have gentle back out for a belt through the houses. If not, killer the Carolla is always up for it.

Have you ever thought about making it up for the Noosa hill climb? Similar type of event and magic bit of track.

Hey Nod's,

We'll be entering again next year for sure, We both absolutely loved it. Would be great to catch up buddy, haven't seen you in years.

Funny enough Melinda was asking me about Noosa on the way home from the Australian Hillclimb champs. The problem is getting the holidays from work.

Next year the masters are on in Tasmania and I'm very keen on doing that as well.

      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.

      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!?!?
