Love it.

i wanted to stick the s15 front on my s14 but the kit is fibreglass all the way and then i was thinking it might be dodgy and not fit right cos they are coming from the US. Its called strawberry face cos apparently japanese for strawberry is ICHIGO which is also simile to the word for 15 or some crap. so they call it strawberry face.

still thinking about it though, would make a nice showcar.

bow down b4 my s15/s13 sil80 :)

Well if u get one from bomex japan (like I did) then u're guranteed a perfect fit, coz as it sez on the box its manufactured for a 180sx, they even have different kits for different year 180s :)

Actually i tell a lie, the strawberry face kit that I got wasn't off Bomex Japan, but it was off a wreck of a 180 (same yr as mine 1989) that was invoved ina side on collision. But the guy who drove that car apparently got it from Bomex Japan.

Dunno bout the US versions they might be bodgy copies.

Its called the ICHIGO kit and yes it means both strawberry and S-fifteen.

If u want to make it a showcar, my cuz entered it into autosalon under his name with sum club and he ended up comin home with an award (not a trophy mind you) for "best hybrid" from one of the sponsors... he now has it hanging off his wall and refuses to give it to me, even tho he won it off my car... the bastardo.

This was long b4 it was trendy to have a 180sx tho, so dunno if anyone paid attention to it. A lil piece (the rear quarter) of it was in one of the pics in hot4s lol

I fink you may find the Cefiro is based on the R32 Skyline platform... same running gear, 4 doors and mainly autos, though you do find the odd manual...

I wanted one for a while... still considering one

Cheers

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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!?!?
