Hey everyone

just wondering if anyone know wat i can do to get rid of the lip on my boot if i was to take off the stock spoiler on my 33 and put a T wing on, would it involve making up a new boot or moulding something onto the existing one? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Hey mate, as im sure you'd know i've just done it on my R33 (remove the wing). To fix the holes etc is easy, just bog and sand the holes and have the boot reprayed (about $300 is a reasonable price) your other option is to install some pods (small fibreglass mouldings) that will go in place of your holes and sit plush with the boot, i think J-Racing have them and all up including painted i'd say they are around $400.

There is also the other option to go with a flat boot, but expect to pay around $800.

My Bomex wing is for sale by the way if you want that? but im all for the t-wing look, i think its great!

Thnx, im going for the flat boot, where can i go to get one made up? would they construct a new boot? yeah im gonna go for the t wing, really rice it out :) ill get all try find a place who can do it and get all prices and such posted up

later all

    • 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. 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.
