Hey guys, car theft is rampant at the moment on the north shore with chatswood and lane cove being *known* hot spots.

Please be careful.

On Thursday November 28th at 4am one of my friends in St Ives caught 4 guys under his bonnet attempting to steal his black R33 GTST from outside his front door. the following night a 200sx was stolen from the same street. They had ripped out his alarm from the engine bay but hadnt got into the cabin.

The sunday before another friend in Lane Cove has his 180sx stolen from up his driveway. Fortunately the 180 has been found in Macquarie park missing only small parts like bov etc.

Chatswood police have mentioned that performance car theft on the north shore is VERY high at the moment

Be careful guys its getting pretty bad again.

:(

I need a tazer, are they legal?

if YOU are threatened, not your property.

tazer's are illegal.

self-defence is not a complete defence, only partial. meaning: you kill someone you don't get done for murder, but manslaughter. up to the judge whether he believes you or not. you may even get off.

however, doesn't automatically mean you are free from liability...

a judge will always frown upon you 'defending' your property, such as a car, rather than your 'persons,' as property can always be replaced and its not a danger to yourself.

      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!?!?
