[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 2404568, member: 27518"] Well..the SS works block girdle / or block brace as they call it was meant for the B16B/18C. It was used in one of SS works Japan's track car with 10,000rpm. Underestimated the length of the 94mm crank and got stuck with it. Well.. 11,000 rpm is doable, making is lastable as a street engine would pose a problem. remember even with higher oil pressure with an upgraded oil pump, the main crank bearings are still just a metal piece depending on oil feed. High RPM would probably necessitate the use of good engine oils with regular changes, etc, and you'd probably have to tear down the engine every so often to check the bearings. One more thing would probably be vibrations, even a balanced engine have some amount of vibration due to the way the inline 4 piston arrangement. Compound that by 11,000 times a piston travel from the bottom of the block to the top of the deck per minute, you can see where the vibrations will come from. Good setup? In my opinion, Ductile Iron sleeved block, or dart.. big bore, big stroke.. no need 9K rpm.. just 7.5-8K can net you crazy horsepower for entry into the 200+whp club. Quite lasting too, since the sleeves are hard, likely your piston ring wears out first than the block.. :P It's not cheap, but it's a reliable engine with big hp potential. Cheaper than the K series, at least in Malaysia. [/QUOTE]

Sourcing for a Z33 clutch plate kit (OEM or aftermarket)
Hey guys,
My Z33 Fairlady's clutch just gave way (clutch plate and housing). :( Anybody know how much a clutch plate kit costs? I have a supplier quoting me RM4450 for an OEM part, which seems kinda steep to me...
