These are part numbers I have gathered from OEM manuals, trusted references or have purchased and used on my own builds. There may be other parts that work, but this list is of the highest quality and recommended parts. These parts are focused on the RB20DET, but some may work for other engines. This is not a complete list just common parts that you may need when rebuilding or modifying an engine. I always like to say;
"The Nissans from this era are just very expensive Legos without instructions."
Here are links to my favorite places to buy parts and find part numbers:

***Please inspect all parts / part numbers right when you get them in the mail. I have had major issues with companies sending me parts for other RBs or just the wrong part number all together.***
** NEO Heads have variable valve timing and will need slightly different valve train componets.
