didnt know tomei made HG's for ka's

 

sat in the garage and kicked my new s14 motor for being gay

 

TOMEI Metal Head Gasket - Group 5 Motorsport - A premier automotive performance store in San Diego

 

Something isn't right. Tomei makes 87mm gaksets for a KA that has an 89mm bore???

Hey Dan, How much did those RLCA sphericals put you back? These are the ones that go in the a-arms, right?

 

hmm i thought stock bore was 87

 

If you read that link, the ones where it says KA.

It also says with sr20de/sr20det swap.

So no, Tomei doesn't offer a KA headgasket.

 

^ that's what i was gonna say.

 

well bill sherman was the one who suggested me getting a tomei over a cometic HG so idk.

 

i think they are like $150 a set. they are on spl parts in the rear multi-link section. it wasn't worth buying a full ES poly kit and having to part out almost all the other unused bushings. since the RLCA has 2 bushings on the inner joint, i guess that's 2 sets. i'll have to ask my brother. We were going to run the spl lowers up front and back, but it's overkill enough as is, and even with new ball joints and inner bushings, it's still about half the price of the lower arms that you would get from battle version or about 1/4 the price as the spl lower arms (but they sure are pretty).



longfellow - yes order the FRONT ball joints for a b13 sentra (91-94) to use in the REAR 240sx lower control arms (s13 or s14). Nissan does not sell rear ball joints seperately, only the whole control arm, which blows. The sentra ball joints are 1mm larger at the base, but it won't cause any problems when they are pressed in.



btw, megan racing has some adjustable ones that i saw on enjuku's website, but they're like $145, and unless you're doing some hardcore racing, there is no need to have super duper roll center adjustability. front caster/camber/toe (via tie rods), and rear camber and toe is really all you need to have a nice handling s-chassis.


edit - once this is done, every bushing except the rear upright/spindles and the diff bushings will be refreshened or solidified in some way (im running collars on the subframes, not wasting time putting in solids lol)
