Picked it up a bit over an hour ago :kewl: it's a 1995 R33 GTS-T in Silver as sold by skylinefan (who put a lot of effort in and put up with a lot :D ) on these very forums ;) Absolutely wrapped with the car, love it.

See you at Autosalon :D

totally stock atm just the way I wanted to get one really. Don't like the idea of any unwanted attention just yet so the mods will start with a pretty major SQ sound system and possibly a retrim. Then onto all the road holding and go fast bits which I am still researching. A full colour change along the track somewhere there as well, something like a black with deep purple pearl.

By saying this I will probably get a scolding from the gf :wassup:

what mods does it have or are you planning?

its totally stock except for a 3" exhaust system and muffler, which gives it a wicked sound, heh. Um, mods, well, first thing will be a turbo timer followed by a decent set of wheels to replace the standard Nissan items. Oh yeah and the sound system needs an overhaul, better speakers all round for starters. I kinda like the Nissan LCD system it has for audio control so I might leave that in, for now.... The list gets longer every time i think about it :D Like everything it depends on $$$$$$$$$$

yeah, i saw heaps for sale that had lotsa mods done by previous owners, but i wanted one that (a) wouldnt attract too much attention from the local ball busters and (B) would be clean so I could do my own thing with it.

      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.

      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. 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!?!?
