mtngoat Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 This is the real deal not a regrind. I ran it in my old L20b for a year and it noticeably improves the midrange power and is a pretty fun hop up. I wanted to keep my current motor stock so I didn't put it back in when I swapped. I believe it requires different lash pads if I remember correctly. It has a longer duration and more lift than a the stock l20b (SSS) cam. Figuring out the clearances is up to you. It's in good shape and I just want to pass it along. I picked it up from nismo back in the 80s when I worked at a dealership. Pics to follow when I get home Link to comment
mtngoat Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Maybe! I'd be interested in the following, if it's expensive enough I'm good with adding some cash going the other way stuff for a maxima disc swap for the rear of my wagon roadster parts (rear wheel cylinders, top for a 67 low windshield body, other odds and ends) long tail 5 speed core to fufill my low 1st tall 5th mongrel gearbox fantasy, still haven't done the math to figure out what I need or if it's even possible whatever else strikes my fancy Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Long-tail 5spd core like one out of a '78 620? Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a ZX 5 speed that is leaking silver gear oil... Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a ZX 5 speed that is leaking silver gear oil... I drained one once in a wrecker's that came out looking like silver paint. The drain bung had a chunk of bearing race on it and two 1/2" ball bearings clanged into the drain pan. Link to comment
Sealik Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Kind of curious what the 'lift' is. Have a digital micrometer/caliper lying about? Would imagine it's under .460 ? Link to comment

You can find it in the Nismo comp catalog. 7-spec cam for L-Series, .475"/270° high performance cam. Use .160" lash pads when installing. Link to comment
mtngoat Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yes, that's the one Laecaon. It pulled pretty hard and I liked it, I just got tired of swapping it for smog every couple years. As for the 5 speeds, I think I'm looking for one of the later ones...aren't the post 80 ones supposed to be stronger? I still need to do the ratio work to figure if what I want is possible, see the mongrel box thread Link to comment
Radim Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Do you happen to have the lash pads for it? Link to comment
mtngoat Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Gosh I'm sure they're around somewhere. Geez, it's been years. When I'm out there making room to fire up the 2000 I'll keep my eyes peeled, I think I did bag n tag em. Link to comment
