Skyline 3.0 Liter L6 Valve Cover?

[zpizzaman20]

I was asked the other day if I had ever seen an L6 valve cover for a 3.0 liter and I said no. After some research I found there was a skyline motor (I6) of this type made in Australia.

Does anyone have a picture of the valve cover?

Will it fit an L6?

GTS-R

The ultimate version of the R31 was the RB20DET-R powered HR31 GTS-R Coupe (800 units built for group A evolution). It had a reworked version of the normal RB20DET with a much larger turbocharger on a tubular steel exhaust manifold, as well as a much larger front mounted intercooler boosting power to a factory claimed 210 ps (154 kW), with racing versions making 460 hp (343 kW) in Group A trim.

There is no L30 skyline motor. The Skyline motor you are referring to is an RB30.

No, the RB30 valve cover wont fit on an L series head.

The cover looks like this one.

Thanks!

Have you ever heard of an L6 valve cover that has 3liter markings?

No, not factory from Nissan. If there was such a beast, it would have to be a custom or aftermarket job.

That looks like a modified Kameari Valve cover.

It's one of the few different Kakimoto Racing/Kameari valve covers that were sold. Some of the others are in that thread but it's not modified. Edited November 15, 2008 by sblake01
