Wow these valve springs (part# 13203-58S00) are all over the place..In JDM-land, VG30DE(TT), RB20/25DE(T), CA16/18DE(T), even VG20DET (Wow, never knew there was a 2 litre VG.. was in the F31 Leopard (88-91)..).In the US they're only on the Z32 VG's and Pulsar CA16/18.

RB26DETT is a different beast with fancy springs of its own (13203-05U00), unsuprisingly not found in the US.

I know the lifters are the same between the RB20/25 and CA from having looked at Tomei parts before, their solid lifter kits for the RB20/25 and CA only differ in the # of lifters and the cam (being different # of cylinders).

If 3 people wanted solid lifters they could try to get a deal on a pair of RB kits (for everything but the cams) and then by a set of CA solid lifter cams, you might be able to find someplace that sells the RB kit at a price that RB * 2 would be cheaper than ordering CA * 3 for Japan..
