i found a place that does them www.etronicauto.com . they don't advertise them on their website, but i emailed them last week and they said can modify them for an extra $35 on top of the $275 for a standard set.

yer, the autoshop website has instructions on how to install the sets they sell, the demo car is even a R33. but if you are still wary about doing it yourself, any autoelectrican would be able to do it. i'll be doing mine myself though. if you really want, maybe getting some help at one of the dodgy mechanic days is an idea, would save the cash on paying for labour for the autoelectrican.

theres a place on evans road in salsibury, does calibration and wil;l install the guage faces for you, linol otto calibrations, or something to that effect. Quite cheap too.

did you use these guys for blacky?

do you know how much the calibration is? if not i'll give them a buzz

if anyone does contact them for a price, let us know, i won't get a chance to for a few days.

Im pretty sure Rory would be able to help you out, as for calibration, just make sure the needle is in the exact same place before and after installation maybe place a marker.

That only works it you get the standard 180km/h speedo dials, i'm looking at getting a 300km/h speedo, which requires the speddo sender signal to be modified (calibrated) to the new scale on the dial. installation isn't a problem for me, just getting it calibrated. dale (my bro) put 300km/h dials into his gtir 6 months ago. think think toby may have helped him. he just needs the cabilration done also. i believe all they do is put a resistor into the wiring.

i fit them myself, but if i was doing it again i would be getting them to do it as the speedo never worked properly i broke a little spring in it.

50 bucks for calibration of tacho and speedo, and not sure if they did temp, fuel and oil pressure but they all seemed to work good.

    • 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? 
    • 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.
