280zex Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have been doing some research on the 432r engine, realy nice piece of work it is.. 432= 4 valves, 3 carbs, 2 cams. Some reading on the internet says that there was a factory offered titanium exhaust header!! Any body here, cough TonyD cough, have any good engine compartment pix available to share?? I'm realy curious about the head used on that s20 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Google around, there are pictures out there. Also you could try to contact Allan (sp) Thomas on this site or classiczcars.com. I forget his forum name at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have used google, got the factory specs. However I'm not finding much on the head itself, flow #'s, cam info, chamber cc's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djz Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Planning on buying an S20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Planning on buying an S20? Nope, I do have the funding, however I feel that my $$ is better spent on upgrades on my '76 280Z. Not to mention my motorcycles. I did come across a possible collector piece, the price is 250,000$ for an original condition 432r. Honestly I dont think its worth it, mabe for a museum, but not for me. I just like rare old JDM cars, and finding good pix of the head used on the s20 are hard to find...

R3VO 3VOM Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 While the Z432 is indeed rare, that LY crossflow head is rare and awesome! Here was one posted a few years ago for 14K for the head alone. ha http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/76919-ly28-crossflow-l-series-cylinder-head/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect240z Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 So what would be the point for just pics of the head? Are you planning on mass producing one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Unless you specifically want photos of one with mechanical FI, your request is 24 hours late! Flushed my iPad of a whole buttload of photos including my trip to the GT-R / 432 Specialist shop outside Tokyo... Oh wait, I didn't flush them all... 16 GB flushed down to around 500 photos, I don't know why these are still on here, actually! I know all the exhaust side and LY photos went bye bye during my purge last night. HS30H (Alan) has archival material that is critical to making something "correct" on one of these cars. The regular 432, and 432R engine are identical externally, unless you are looking for full on prepped engines...and there is where Alan's photo archive comes to the front of the pack! This was my seeker, Mr. Okamura, he looks Yakuza-Wicked Baddass with that cig hangin' cool and wheeling out of Tokyo Auto Salon! Thanks Okamura-San!!!

280zex Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks very much TonyD!! I have limited pix of the s20, bumped into an original owner of a 1969 skyline at a show here in Seattle a few years back. Cool car, but nobody was allowed within 5 feet so my photos are limited...

Tony D Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Those iPhone Photos were all pretty much from one shop. I did nt bring my Nikon. Now, someone has put me onto a Z432R replica (and Hako GT-R) here in Bangkok... Which I hope to visit this weekend to photograph with my DSLR. I have GPS coordinates...and my friend says he knows the area... So maybe it will be a good Saturday trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Btw, if you find the latest "Nostalgic Hero" GT-R special edition, you will recognise that engine bay. It's the same car. This shop did four of the cars in the latest issue. His dedication to preservation of the history of the marque is admirable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomanmike Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Love those cars. Tony i thinks its really cool you share these pics. You get to see some really cool cars and we live vicariously through you so keep them coming. Do you have any sites you upload photos on other than Hybridz?
