Hi, Wondered if anybody has done or seen this before ? I know the pcv valve and breather holes differ but i should be able to get round that by blocking the one over the exhaust manifold and using a 135degree fitting on the other, also understand that there's no throttle cable brackets but again this shouldn't be a problem as i'm using a single t/body and the cable runs across the plenum. anyone know of any other reasons it won't fit ? I'm switching to direct fire ignition and would be nice if i could fit the coils under the cover, if not, i've seen a nice plug cover for an s13 i'd like to use lol. Thanks in advance. :biggthump

Sorry, what do you mean by this, the rocker cover is too wide to bolt to a pulsar head ?

I have tried that same thing, but it was on a 53J head; I still have the S13 cover I used in my possession. All transverse (FWD) SR heads are of the same dimensions, Length, Width, and Height. All Longitudinal (RWD) SR heads are also of the same dimensions, Length, Width, and Height. What does that mean? Well, it means that the S13 valve cover WILL NOT on a GTi-R head or any FWD head for that matter because the S-chassis SR heads are not wider, they are just longer by 3 - 4 inches than the FWD SR heads. Once again, I know this because I've tried it. Of course the S-chassis SR motors do have some cool stuff the FWD motors don't have like the plug covers, but with some sheet metal from your local hardware store you can simply make your own plug cover for your own SR motor. Imagination has no limits!!!

If you want it for the NISSAN 16 VALVE text, you could try an SR20DE cover, but like I discovered myself, the throttle cable gets right over the oil filler so you cant undo it.
