Huw Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hi All in Japanese but may be of interest to some. There is also a write up in one of the Japanese magazines (I think it was Nostalgic Speed [Edit - it was - Vol 29 (Nostalgic SPEED vol.029 2021年8月号 | 芸文社カタログサイト (geibunsha.co.jp))). A group of 3 or so shops collaborating to remake L-series heads with a more modern design and manufacture. http://www.pams-japan.com/30cafe/project.php [Edit - they have youtube updates on the project - here is one; there is also one for the first test race at Motegi] Looks like they hope to manufacture and sell this year. They are currently testing the prototype. It will be interesting to see how it goes. Huw Edited January 16, 2022 by Huw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theremm Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Very interesting indeed - exciting to see what possibilities have become available as technology has advanced. Looking forward to see where that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240ZBUILTBYME Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I’ve been watching on Instagram, looks interesting. Wonder what the price will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Waiting with baited breath - they had planned to announce the price / variants at a car show in Japan today - pulled out due to covid but I assume the price/details will still be published. Will update with a link once it all goes up. It will be interesting to see what the specs etc are. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base model without valve / guides in. Second and third have valves and guides in but differ in material used. Says domestic only - don't know if this a permanent state of affairs or just for first batches.

Huw Posted Tuesday at 12:06 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:06 PM Some more idle conversation and speculation. I am assuming some of you saw the recent NISMO twin cam L-series head? Nissan Develops 240Z DOHC Upgrade Decades After the Car's Retirement (thedrive.com) https://www.instagram.com/p/C3bdk4dpVH2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Most of the commentary seems to suggest it is unlikely to end up readily available and, even if it did, likely to cost a pretty penny. Interestingly, the team at L6 Head Project also announced that one of their new head projects is a twin-cam head (all in Japanese), amongst other interesting projects.

C.A.R. Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM Considering how expensive the L6 head from them already is (nearly AUD$10k), I can't expect the TC version to be cost effective either. OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was expecting it to be in dreams or sell kidney territory. Still, it will be interesting to see what they come up with. I see Les is their distributor in Australia.
