question still stands can i use tomei solid lifters with 9.15mm lift cam ? if i get some yesses or no's i can look into something different or purchase..

No, you wouldn't use them as you dont have small base circle cams.

They are suited to 'Tomei' cams with more than 10.25mm lift.

So is there a aftermarket lifter to use with a 9.15mm lift cam?

Not required... The smaller lift camshafts use the same base circle diameter as the factory cams. In other words they are machined 'the same'. So they are not required. Just make sure they are in good condition and you have adjusted the valve clearances correctly.

I would be wary about the ramp rates being 270s, maybe a little more spring pre-load you could get away with them

But with 270s you would want to rev a 25 pretty hard to take advantage of them, or is it for your 30?

well you're handy on the spanners, give it a go, not a big job to pull the cams back out if it floats

Off the top of my head all the 270 results ive seen had springs, but they all had more lift than what you do.

p.s didnt you score some camtech 272s a while back? (was flipping through an old Zoom mag yesterday)

Correct term is 'under bucket shim' (and there is 'over bucket shim' & 'solid bucket')

Rb26 clearances - 0.018" ( +/- 0.001") intake & 0.015" exhaust ( +/- 0.001")

Measure with feeler gauges when the cam lobes base circle is above the bucket

Face valve/ cut seat/ order thicker shims to close the gaps

Machine tip of valve/ shim to open

Too loose it will rattle and cause premature wear

too tight it will stay open causing loss of compression

I've had to machine a 26 head out for poncams a couple times

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?

      My thermostat had no gasket?

      By Duncan · Posted

      But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?

      Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By Duncan · Posted

      I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
