datsunfreak Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 http://www.billsdatsun.com/1200headers.html Looking for an A-series header and came across that website. Curious if anyone has bought/used one? Also curious if it clears a dual Weber/Mikuni intake (not all headers do). Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I had one a while back. Not terribly impressed, and it wouldn't even clear a stock intake. Not worth the money IMHO Get one from tomei! Even comes with a bung for o2 sensors ;) http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/efr_index.html Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Lots of us have bought from there ... My Yokohama South headers fit a Pitroad dual-mikuni manifold, but won't fit with a Canon manifold. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 If you pay for an A-series exhaust manifold gasket, I will model you up a flange... then you can have your own cut out and header made. Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ive seen the bills header, clears Su,s . Don't know if it clears makuni eor solexs but it don't clear the steering box. And it moves the exhaust up little closer to the floor/firewall. And the black paint burns right off. And the flanges are thin and usually warped from what I hear, we .bolted the middle and worked out to each side. Didn't notice a bad warp. But the flange flexes 2 Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I see he charges a lot more for a l16sss cam than a stock l20b cam lol My brother got some OEM lash pads from him. Price was cheap cheap. He got a cam from him and some how a big chip came off of the side of a lobe. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Probably dropped and glued on. The L20B stock cam is the same spec as the L16SSS 1 Quote Link to comment

Anyone know a good place to buy one from? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 hes a shisty mother fucker that could give a fuck less about datsuns, all he cares about are his corvettes and his speed boats, stay the fuck away from his products Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Anyone know if "Monza" headers are any good? ^_^ Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 That should be a pacesetter version if it's a Monza header, at least if I remember correctly. Pacesetter is known for making semi-cheap headers, and they're not bad quality. That's what I have on the hardbody. However, they don't make any L 4 cylinder headers anymore so it's either a different company or nos. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I bought one of the first headers Bill's sold on ebay. I was the only bidder and got it for $120(?) opening bid instead of the $275 buy-it-now. Since I'm local I picked it up in person to avoid shipping costs. He (Jock) was actually pissed at me for getting it so cheap. It was a Thunderbird brand that was packed in newspaper dating back to about 1980. The flange leaked on #1 so I welded and and trued the mating surface. It also needed to be clearanced at the steering box. I had plenty of room for a stock intake and the one I made for my Mikuni bike carbs. Don't know about your intakes though. I agree, Jock's a hack and his parts are overpriced. If you have other options, use them. Quote Link to comment

Pacesetter says (emailed them yesterday) that the only Datsun header they still make is the L24/L26/L28 header. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 If you don't have your wallet out, or your not worshipping/bowing to him, and hanging on his every word, you will not interest him. His "A" series headers will not clear the SU manifold without a modification(big dent in one tube) according to him, these headers he has are made to fit the B210 or 210 series vehicles I beleave, and one of the tubes has been relocated buy him before manufacture for some reason, but by the time he got that far, I had lost interest in him and his header.

JoeCool Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 So who else makes a header for an L20b? Quote Link to comment

These guys sell an L20b header, just scroll down till you see the photo. http://www.racetep.com/nissan.html But you are better off using a stock L16 exhaust manifold unless you are driving on a race track.
