hmm....well its a club by club rule but it seems a lot of the Vic clubs require it.

The list of CAMS legal roll cages are in the CAMS handbook, they need to follow an homologated design, and you need a CAMS authorised cage builder to make it and sign it off. Then CAMS issue a cage number to it, you will need a log book as well I would think.

But, if you are thinking about doing it to a road car for track days, its a hell of a lot of trouble. First up approved cages are $1300 up. Second they are probably not road legal as its possible to hit your head on it which is a problem when you are on the road/not wearing a helmet.

R tyres are pretty impressive compared to road tyres, so if you are just looking at something for trackdays buy a set of re55s, dz02g etc.

The typical Jap bolt in cage will not be legal, for a start the pipes are too narrow for CAMS. And of course the design will probably not be homologated.

hi Duncan,

Roll cages for road cars are legal if they're setup to ADR standards (padded upper bars where you head can hit it etc). I dunno about the NSW specific laws but VicRoads has a excellent PDF of what is legal on their website. I know this because my car is coming with a roll cage and I want to keep it in there.

btw I havn't forgotton about that Philip Island video. Just had a lot to do lately and havn't had a chance to combine my footage with Emre's.

Shivam.

      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.

      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.
