Re: 510 seat belt kit

The 68-71 has the lower captive nuts for the seatbelts, but they screwed in "eyelets" & the seatbelts had a "hook" on that end. The eyelets do come out, so you can screw in the big bolts to anchor the later style seatbelts. I bet the upper captive nut is in the upper headlin...

Re: Camber Plates - info and reviews?

We do not use needle roller bearings. we use sealed radial thrust bearing. they survive the punishment that Rally cars place on them.
the needle roller bearings are lucky to survive one event, dirt & grit take their toll.

Re: Need camshaft identification

U67 is std head on most early L20B engines the B camshaft was also std. for the L20B.
Was a 62degree cam same timing as L16/L18SSS.
As far as the rest of it goes you would have to do a plot.

Re: Availability of quality main and rod bearings

The Am series is a street bearing. Have used them, they are fine, Tho the part# & listing has changed. I am out of stock so could not check on the competition ID, The king bearing site in US has no Listing for L series. See what I can find when my stock comes in.

Re: 15x6.5 +15 or 15x7 0 offset?

+15 offset is the absolute minimum off set I will use. With good tyres I can still feel SRA steer on the road. One of the best handling 510s in Oz is using 15x6.5x33P with 195/50x15 R1Rs. He is using R31 struts, with R32 GTST callipers. The R31 strut is the same as the 200SX S12. only difference in ...

Re: Availability of quality main and rod bearings

King competition mains & rod bearings have never failed me. Also I use the Jap Taiho bearings they are also top shelf. Surely these bearings are available in the US. I have used the kings in more engines than I can remember & never had a bottom end failure. This includes 8K rpm & turbo &...

Re: My 4-door "budget build" - Warning, camera phone pics!

Make sure the 4" pipe is no thicker than the parent metal on the Xmember, A section of 4" exhaust tube is sufficient.
Specified by Chartered engineer with master welders cert. has never failed us.
