hi guys.so my work hardbody(1996 with vg30) ive had since nov2009 and it came with a loud /bad lifternoise only one lifter (well soundslike one) and i said ill do the liftersbut never get aroundto it cause of other projects and its been getting loader lately .ve taken it in to some "nissan tuners" here in cape town and 3 out of the 4 i took it to said i have a bearing knock. now please tell me how i can abuse my vg30 for more than a year almost daily reach 200(my clock sais 200 lol ) with my aircon on with a bearing knock only one "tuner" said bad lifters gave me a price supply and fit there and then.
so my actual question is actually will a vg30dett(300zx twin turbo) lifter work on my vg30 motor? i have a set of lifters for the dett .can anyone shed some light ? posted same questions on some zx sites but still no answer. :roll:

read again. the difference betwee my engine and a vg30dett is not JUST the turbo/s its mine is a bakkie vg30e ,single cam not DE ,double overhead cam, thats the big difference .double overheadcam and single over head cam. vg30E/vg30ET are 12 valves and the de/det /dett is 24valve. so heads are tortally different.
