Aaron's SR20DET's nicely equipped 2DR. Man that thing hauls le-ass. Sahara Gold in color (Thanks Paolo!) it still looks damned sweet!

Neil's beautiful as all hell 72 2DR, SR-powered. One of the nicest, cleanest, attractive 510's I've seen.

From left to right.. Steve Boatman; 71 2DR L20B Neil; 72 2DR SR20DET Aaron Suchy; 7? 2DR SR20DET Parked at Denny's Parking lot, Grants Pass, OR.

Yep, a frontal shot again. Had to show it off. All done on a budget!!! Hopefully this one will last a lot longer than the last time it was in the dime..

Holy Hone Marks...

Here you can see the undercarriage of the engine. Crankcases are just bloody beautiful when they are clean!

A quick pick of the bottom end. Don't mind the surface rust on the timing gear...

Nice n' shiny new pistons... not the best in the world, but its not like I am running turbos or massive amounts of compression..

Fresh L20B, New .010/.010" crank, .030" (.075mm) Overbore. That oughta make it scream a bit more...

This is the roadster clutch pressure plate as ordered through Jim Sigel Chevrolet/Nissan in Grants Pass, OR. Note the 9 rivets as opposed to 6 rivets on stock 510 clutches!!!

Another shot of the roadster pressure plate. Notice how it visibly looks beefier than a stock unit, more rivets to support the spring-load assembly together. Much better design than a stock 510 unit, and worth every penny over what you normally pay. Which, considering - isn't even all that much!

This is the friction disk that came with my Roadster pressure plate. I am not 110% impressed by this, as made by Valeo - a common manufacturer of NEW clutch components (not remanufactured) and sold by many Jobber-based parts houses. This unit and the unit I pulled off the shelf at my place of work, look 99% identical in appearance, both carrying the Valeo insignia, the replacement (new, not reman!) at my work did not have the Nissan logo printed in the center peice. Go figure (Duh..) but the only thing I wasn't really happy about, is that two of the anti-chatter springs are not solid in place, and can be moved around. Its going to be impossible for them to fly out, this disc has little wings on the cut outs that would prevent this from happening, and the springs are all colored different (Hah, like I really CARE)... either way this will be a much needed improvement over the stock clutch (510) that I had with the (overpowering).. (worn out smoking) L20B.
