Friday night my L14 rods finally arrived in the post. I’ve only managed to get 4 so far, obviously I’ll need 6 so I’m still looking for at least 2 more. If I find another set then I’ll grab them and have 2 spare (since they are so rare) it always helps to have spares ;).

Datsun built many variations of the L-series engine. As a result there are many combinations that can be used when building up any L-series to suit a range of purposes and to fit in with many racing rules.

After several months of searching I finally came across a set of 4 (only) L14 rods. Alot of people are unfamiliar with these rods, mainly because they were only available in selected markets around the world. Some of these markets are the UK (United Kingdom), South Africa and New Zealand.

For the longest time I’ve always admired a mirror like shine that comes from a valve cover. I have seen many on ebay and every so often one will pop-up. The only problem is that it is quite a large item to ship from overseas and I often hear that people needs to spend time maintaining the shine.

Well thanks to one of the Viczcar members Lurch. I now have an N42 engine head. The N42 is found on the L28 engine commonly found in the 280zx in Australia. I believe it can also be found on other cars such as the 280C. They are quite common compared with other heads like the P90 which is only found in some later 1980 patrols.
