Does a rear high break light need to be fitted to the window as part of compliance if the standard spoiler isn't there? How much do they cost? I'm considering buying or maybe borrowing a standard spoiler and putting on temporarily for compliancing if that's possible. What are your thoughts, should i just put a high break light in?

High mount brake light is like $20 or so from somewhere like Supercheap Auto, Repco, etc. Not too hard to do, probably a lot less fiddling than putting on a standard spoiler if it's only a temporary solution.

The high mount brake lights are only required for vehicles manufactured from July onwards. Or maybe september, not 100% sure.

I would imagine you COULD fit a cheap one and remove it afterwards. However there is always the POSSIBILITY that an officer will be aware of the rulling and fine you for it.

For my 89 GTR compliance high mount rear brake light is mandatory requirement. Doesn't matter about the spoiler.

GTR spoilers don't have them that's why its required to fit one of the aftermarket ones on the back window, but for gts-t the high mount brake lights are on the standard spoiler. In my case I don't have the standard spoiler so I gather I would require a window one as part of compliance. Thats why I'm enquring about a spoiler because I have the option to fit a standard one if I really wanted to goto the trouble. Thanks for the offer to borrow your spoiler Dluded but I'm in Melbourne.

      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!?!?
