PanzerAce Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Uh, yeah. OS Giken car with twin-cam cross-flow head, etc. Search it up. Somewhat of a touchy subject. I guess I missed something about it. How so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I would say it's somewhat touchy because whenever it get's brought up, people start asking where to buy it, if someone's going to make more, etc. imo it's the holy grail of Z parts. next to 1fastz's head that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Usually the OS Giken head comes up right after somebody gets their first look at the How to Modify Your Nissan/Datsun OHC Engine book. It is listed in there with a price of $10K. So first they usually post if anyone has seen it. Next they get the bright idea to ask if anyone has one for sale. Then the figure out OS Giken is still in business, and try to start a group buy on the head. This inevitably never goes anywhere, and it's just an annoyance to those of us who have been watching the same thing happen over and over and over for years. It's especially annoying on this site because this is the site dedicated to engine swaps and you can get a hell of a lot more for your money swapping something else in the car. There is also the inevitable incorrect info surrounding this head, confusion with the LY head, etc. Search OS Giken and you'll see it come up again and again and again.
