FL Titanium Valve Springs (S14) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I contacted a manufacturer that can do Titanium valve retainers.

These would be for an S14 sr20det. I am not sure if the same retainers are used for the S13 or not.

I just have to give them reference retainers,,,,then order 100 of them...lol (no really that's the min order),, but seriously they are asking $6 a piece for them,, this would make the whole set for under $100. If enough people are interested I can give them the go ahead. They are made from aircraft grade titanium.

I figure this is a good deal if anyone wants to jump on it with me. I'm not quite sure where else to post it.

Mods,, do I need to move this to group buys? (I can't post on group buys)

whats the name of the company? how do you know quality of work? what machinery are they using to ensure exact specs are being met? do they have any certifications etc? you know there are lots of companies that make shit in bulk for people (i.e. seats, coilovers, etc.) and they are usually poor quality...
just sayin' i would be hesitant to use a no names company (unless i was VERY comfortable with their work) components in my valvetrain.
