hi has anyone in the sydney area have an inicator stalk assembly in working condition they would like to sell?

dunno, is it possible to convert hydraulic lifters to mechanical lifters?

hi i just had a p90 head installed onto my L28 and noticed that on the side of the head it has P90A. This head has mechanical lifters , i was under the assumption that P90 A heads were all hydraulic. is this true?

they were used in the early 80's in certain model nissan bluebirds. a forebear to the SR20 i think.

ah ok bummer, i guess you have to cherish the days when your licence is clean and youve had no accidents. 600 dollars full comprehensive is damn good then considering.

are you sure 2 inches? thats still unbelievably massive.

im on a similar policy with shannons with 8000km a year you might want to check them out next year cost me 330 full comprehensive

3.5 litre V8 out of a 355 ferrari. now THATS different.

well in that case with a stock E88 and standard head gasket your looking at 12.9 to 1 compression, even higher with the E31. with a 2mm head gasket its a more reasonable 11.7 to 1 but still thats very very high. check out www.zcarclub.com.au go to the technical section and download the engine builder by walter fath. really useful stuff.

with the L24 Block you use the diesel crank, shorter L28 Rods, L24 Pistons and a P90 Head. you get 2694 cc and 10.03:1 compression

i had a very similar problem a couple of months ago. a vibration occured above 45 miles an hour only when accelerating, at first i thought it was the fly wheel coming loose:( but it turns out that the tailshaft was coming out of balance. after a couple of quarter mile runs at the local strip it was so bad i had to tip toe home. one balance job and two new universal joints later (even though they looked OK) and the car is the smoothest its ever been. hope this helps

boring the l24 block to 86mm shouldnt be a problem, but Ed is right, the l28 block is already at 86mm, and you can bore them to 89mm, fit KA24 pistons and a standard l28 crank and get 2949cc.
