Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Hey Drumstick

Couldn't reccomend them more. I bought a black 33 last month that was pretty well stock. Took it down there and had a talk to maurice and sorted out some new parts to upgrade from stock. I got fmic, new bov, pod, kkr turbo, 3" exhaust plus some other bits and pieces. I got it back Saturday and they have done a top job i couldn't be happier. No problems so far but i'm trying to get some km's into my turbo before we wind some boost into it so the proof will be in the pudding. I'll definitely be going back when i'm ready to upgrade more parts, they are very friendly and easy to deal with, and there prices are very competitive.

If u see me round say hi and we'll have a chat i'm driving a black r33 with white rims and no rear wing. Its my first post here so im hoping to meet some people round the Launceston area who also drive skylines :down:

Cheers

25 neo head?

i forgot all about the cam covers. they are Neo covers, but they have been put in to trick people.

i call shotgun for that engine in my car :-P

ill put some details up when the engine is finaly back and running.

but for now its a Rb25de head off out of a late model r32 (so non VVT) that ive made an adapter plate up to make the entire GTR intake side fit up to.

this head is very similar to an rb20 head and i will be starting on another adapter plate for Sav man soon to fit a rb20det

Did a clutch at Symmons on Sunday.

Apparently you shouldn't be able to have it in gear, with the handbrake on and your foot off the clutch... :s

Pulling the box out this week to see what was in it, how much damage has been done and what I need to buy to get it mobile again.

Unfortunately this also means spending money I dont have so it will no doubt be off the road for a bit now cause I am not gonna just buy a cheap clutch and throw in to get it going, do it once, do it right. :banana:

What clutch did you go with??

I just fitted an Xtreme Motorsports DSBMS Clutch Kit

Had big shudder issues when first fitted but appear to have eased a bit. Reverse is a killer still though.

Not sure but I think the fact its AWD doesn't help much, if you dump the clutch a bit harder it feels like the front diff is trying to climb out from under the car now.

I have spoken with Xtreme about this and we are working on a solution.

Be good to see how it copes come the Highclere Hillclimb next weekend. :bunny:

      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!?!?
