AHA! Found a full new set for $225Aus from eBay in the states. Problem solved. Just to let the team know that VG30 turbo and NA use the same part! (eg z32 300zx).

Hi there mate

in the event that anyone wants to buy lifters for there rb25det, the link has them for 408 dollars for a set of 24

FYI the lifters are the same as a 300zx twin turbo Z32 model. 1990-1996. Hope this helps anyone thats in my situation. the part number is LIFD27 by Topline

:P:laugh:

I just bought a set of new ones from the states, i paid ~AU$12 each and $50 postage. Nissan wanted $140 each for them which is a joke.

these are the guys that i bought them from, their part number for them is "LIF 630"

there are also some cleaning lifter threads in the forums too... here ones cleaning tip...

Just replace your engine oil with a diesel engine oil and run it (softly) for a few km's.. Diesel engine oil contains a detergent that will clean out the sludge that builds up in the lifters.

Just flush it through well after.

Seriously doesnt anyone search anymore...

There is notyhing wrong with my Hydraulic Lifters, I just want to know where I can purchase them from. As I am slowly building up a parts supplier database (other than nissan).

At the moment, the lifters are very load on startup, but not for long, usually around 3 minutes then they are quiet, until the car goes completely cold again. So far this is a sign of working oil galleries and thin oil (10 30W). However it's only a matter of time before the circulating oil delivers a contaminant to the lifters that will shut one or several down. Unfortunately I don not have a garage that I can dissasemble the Valve train, and service the lifters myself. So it would be easier to get them from somewhere else (other than nissan), and pay my mechanic to replace the lifter set.

Thank you for your replies

      You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎

      Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
