Recommended Posts

Feb-15-2018.png.f7f2f90e712c8e11e5ced6680114441e.png

First tech night for the year.

We are lucky enough to get Brett from Shockworks while he is in the country to come and talk to us about suspension, most people don't understand the basics and hopefully Brett can give us better understanding about one of the most beneficial upgrades to a car. The night will be held at one of the Shockworks dealers Import Monster who have a new workshop and showroom that is worth coming to look at.

In addition a presentation for the 2016 and 2017 Motorsport Championship will be held.  2018 Season will be announced with categories etc.

If you are interested in learning something, checking out cool wheels or want to know more about Motorsport this is the night for you. 

We will provide drinks and some food to nibble on, if you wish to attend please fill out the form below so we can cater accordingly.

When: Thursday February 15th from 6:30pm (Official proceedings will start 7pm)

    • Lamb roast on Saturday will be different 🥲
    • 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.
    • 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? 
    • 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!?!?
