As the title says!!!

My firm:

INSERT PLUG HERE:

Pitcher Partners

Chartered Accountants (Yes I am an accountant)

www.pitcher.com.au

Have decided to send me to NY for 3 months for work. Nice!!!

So I will be leaving on the 28th of December and spending New Years in the Marriott hotel just off time square!!!

the rest of the time will be spent living in Greenwich Village and working in 3rd avenue just near Grand Central. I may even head down to Miami at the end of my trip but that is a WHOLE other story.

Anyway, the reason for this thread...other than to rub it in...is to get some info regarding things to buy car related and if anyone knows anywhere in NY or close by that I should visit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and if you want parts etc when I find them (I will set up an email before I go) I am sure we can work something out!!!!

Cheers

Neill

I would say if you want any american brand parts (Moroso, Peterson, MSD, etc....) then this is your chance :P

I was thinking of sticking to the big names that Rocket industries bring over. Mainly Auotmetre stuff, there is always a Honda Ricer happy to buy a monster tacho.

Prices i have found so far a slightly cheaper. Th ething about NY is that you DON't pay full price, always hagle and that is what I intend to do.

Cam, one day you can go buy another GTR, the fact is I may never be able to afford one, so consider yourself lucky in that regard. But you are out of luck with the car...its going to PMR and then to my olds, so my mum can drive it!!!

Jap parts seem to be just as expensive and some are cheaper direct from nengun. this is web only, so I guess actual experience is what i need!!!

And Strutto, yes I am a bastard!!!

EDIT: If anyone has a clue to get onto a US skyline forum so I can ask some questions please feel free to help me out!!!

      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.

      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?

      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.
