100% stock but with a NEO6 turbo, it's off boost most of the time.
Seriously, easily got 600km out of a tank.
And I was driving across Sydney.

That's cheating!  Neo6 in R32 <> R32.  I got better consumption immediately from putting the Neo into mine.  Better engine and more torque slayed the RB20 for fuel usage.  But....it still uses 11-12 in traffic.  I'd been using a better flowing road this week and I'm down into the low 10s.  But it will never get to 9, unless driving on a flat road at 85 km/h.

Was yours tuned super lean on cruise?  Did you have to replace your tyres every 10000 km, like I do? :P

Standard ECU, standard engine, standard exhaust, standard wheels with cheapo tyres (came with the car, contributed to its demise). I managed to drop a coilpack bolt into the engine, and when it spat it out, it destroyed the standard ceramic turbo. Hence the NEO6 turbo "upgrade". I was shocked it was doing so well with fuel usage, but I guess being off boost until 3k and averaging like 20 km/h helps haha.

GT-R on the other hand, 14L/100km or worse :( .

      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.

      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?

      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!?!?
