Friction... The cotters/keepers are wedged in a conical "hole" in the retainers (the one you are pushing down), you probably need to give the valve a little tap upwards for it to release. On the other hand, if you don't press square on the retainer it will be very difficult to loosen from ...

And the SR20DET is a 2.0 liter four-banger... Nissan engine too.
It's quite mad.

Turbonetics T70Q, Autronic SM2, 1600cc injectors... Too much to list actually, they even redid the oil and water systems.

Pretty much dead under 6000 rpm though. :shock:

That was on race fuel thugh, only 628.5 @ 8000rpm on unleaded 95. :D

Barry - nice one mate :wink: It's nice to see the kits actually fitted on the cars! Wait 'till some of the guys here see what you've done :D I really like the fact you've used factory 305 and 310 mm "BREMBO" discs, the Brembo castings are the highest quality casting around, and have high ...

Well, for starters they are both oil filled, the gas is separated from the oil by a floating piston and is there to prevent the oil from foaming.
As usual you pick the part depending on application, If you don't need gas filled shocks there's no need to spend the extra dough.

Mats- you make a good point. I neglected to say that I have already done the cylinder heads and done all new bearings. Since I can make my own manifolding I figured 2k was a good figure for pistons, rings, any machine work etc... What do you think? I think that if you are going to do it right you w...

Barry, just sent you a mail from this site with my adress, maybe you are sending it to the wrong person... :) I remember your address almost made me hit delete because it looked like a spam address, perhaps if you try not to write "porn", "university diplomas" or "+ 3 inches...
