Just got an email from Adrian telling me about some new bits they've got so I thought I'd post them up here incase you guys are interested.
-SR20VE Stainless Valves 1mm oversize, hard face chrome stem with 1mm seat cut, it will leave .035 for back cut on valve. Price = $38USD each + freight
-Valve Springs, Price $400USD set + freight
-Titanium Retainers, Price $296USD set + freight
You can PM F Cams or email fcams@xtra.co.nz.
I'm going to try and get him to send me some photos for you all :)
Looks like the VE isle at the supermarket just got a little longer :P

I'll post pics soon but i just recieved my franklin valves. Adrian at fraklin was fast with his replies, easy to deal with and shipping to canada was less than a week (i'm guessing US would be even faster). I had supertech valves in my de head, and compared to the supertech valves, these look very nice. I'll also post flow bench numbers in the next month or so when i have the seats cut and valves installed, That way we can avoid the whole "franklin cam dyno, better or not better? situation".

Dont wont to ruin your sale, But Ive been doing them for 25 bucks a valve for 3 years now. The ones I get are swirl polished too. F-cams seem kinda pricy.

I wounder if we could get together and have crower do a run of Titaniun retainers. If so they would be made as stock but they would need to have .75-1mm taken off the bottom side so it does not come down and touch the valve seals.
We could get them done at about $150-$200.
Also if we could do this we could also get them to do the 20V ones wich are a little diffent

When I measured the 20v cams in my head I had alot of room between the retainer and the valve seal. I was using a helper spring so I can see this. Remember the rocker arm ratio not actual cam lift. I will check again with the new head I have, but Im sure this isnt a concern.

This has nothing to do with stock Nissan cams this has to do with aftermarket cams to come.
Trust me when you start getting cams with 12.5-13 mm of lift it will touch.

Maybe you should. My brother and racing partner (Fast200SX) just spent like $600 on Franklin valves.

I have them made by a reputable company in racing. I can arrange for a group buy. I just dont know how many would be interested.
