Greddy to make KA24DE billet valve cover - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I think There are no KA engines left ?!

A complete gently used 5.3L is cheaper than a valve cover from the original 2.4

Cars with truck LS engines are cheaper to maintain than the original 4-cylinder?!

Nissan needs to start making sr20 engines again. Thats all I hear

Not trying to derail this thread. I'm sure you guys are already hearing me complain about how you used to be able to get 4-5 complete KA's for $1000, back in the good OL' days. Yes my knees & back hurt.

I looked through Mav1178's group buy spreadsheet and I think you should too.

Group buy thread:
https://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=673437

Spreadsheet of parts:
https://bit.ly/2WPSqNd

Lines 172 & 173 lists the S13 and S14 longblocks for $12,000. Doesn't list it as a stop production either.

Obviously your landed costs will be more, but it's there.

I was about to say. If Greddy really wants us to speak with our wallets make something that KA people actually need, i.e. oil pump.

Also an oil pan for the same reason. All the old GT3 race KAs just ran dry sump, but a properly baffled, extended capacity pan would have real value. Edit: I guess xcessive has that market covered?

then just post this feedback on the Greddy page if you want to get their attention.
