1965 Prince GTB(Skyline)

With my C110 project coming to a end the hunt was on for the next "project" and this Prince just happen to fall into my hands 

 

This one is sadly missing the stock motor but with a Red top RB20 and 970kg weight should prove a fun car

Car is not breaking real well so going to do Volvo upgraded.

There was some vibrations at 80kmph seems to be the tail shaft so going to do a custom one piece. When I jacked it up to check tailshaft found the fuel line runs along side the tailshaft so needs moving. 

Not sure the LSD is working probably as well. 

Then the motor has a bit of a miss, would love to get a intercooler of some sorts in there too will see.

OEM prince rears only probably last this last change.IMG_4972.thumb.JPG.83df1ca3472096880b564b99ee27f719.JPG

New dual set up to work with the new Volvo fronts 

 

Strange old school quirk the left hand side wheels nuts are left hand thread and right hand side right hand thread. I'm lucky I didn't snap a stud before I worked it out

Nope it would not have been easy at all, my plan was to make a custom 3/4 triple core radiator and use the other 1/4 space for a small in intercooler. CB12ED95-6FEA-44B4-BD3C-7DE2D53B7B1F.thumb.jpeg.d51fe07c177210a2f5fde2222eb9ebe9.jpeg

but I decide to change the motor in my other car and will now be putting the motor out of it into the Prince DD911671-96F3-44DC-A86B-D8E6F00C6AE3.thumb.jpeg.1f8a18cae6bf98da8b536933660e0091.jpeg

this motor makes around 175-180hp mark so will be a little more the RB and make all the right sounds with the triple Webber’s

      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!?!?
