mkgtn Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I Need To Buy Lifters For My 280zxt. Where Can I Find New Lifters? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 P90a or P90? Hydraulic or mechanical (respectively). The hydraulics are no longer available new so youd have to pull them off of another head or buy some from a member. Not sure about the mechanicals.

Vintage Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Convert to mechanical, it's not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 it's hard to believe that new hydraulic lifters can't be found? how does anyone rebuild a head or engine with used lifters? there haas to be a way? half a dozen different heads in the US market alone for the L6 motor, ONE iteration of one of those heads uses hydraulic lifters. I do not know if any other motor happened to use the same HLAs as the P90A did, but common knowledge is they are NLA. By that I mean only that I have heard NLA and nothing else; if you find "new" ones they are new old stock. Convert to mechanical, it's not that hard. +1 The "conversion" is super simple, and H-Z member bigphil did a great youtube video with his kids on how to convert from hydro to solid. IMHO half of the sound of the L6 is the solid valvetrain noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismopick Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 it's hard to believe that new hydraulic lifters can't be found? If you don't believe what the forum members say... I doubt much else can be said to help you. SEARCH. There's at least a dozen threads here talking about hydraulic lifters. They are near impossible to find new, and indeed they are not made anymore. How could that be possible?! Easy... Nissan stopped producing them, just like a lot of car makers stop producing certain parts sometimes.
