Hey guys i was wondering if there is anything different (In the engine department i know panels are differ a bit) between the 1982 R30 Skyline and the 1985 R30 Ti model. (Both are L24E engines) I wanted 2 use the computer out of the older one 2 c if would fix a problem.

I have the Datson Nissan Skyline manel for the 82 model would engine, ecu and airflow meter tests be the same.

Does anyone know the differences in models

Any help would be grate :)

Cheers B)

Actually the early 82 MR30's used a better version of the L24 , the head had the normal L series exhaust ports rather than the late round type with the cast in "afterburners" . Later cars had the "L24E" skinny con rods and small crank pin cranks . They also used pistons with smaller diametre gudgeon pins which is not a strength thing . Early MR30 L24's had a different type of idle speed bypass on the throttle body but electrics I don't know .

Cheers A .

there should be no differences, thats weird tho coz all the ti's i've seen have had ca18's

George,

Maybe in the land of the long white cloud, but in Oz all MR30's wether poverty pack's or Ti's, they all had L24E's for power.

According to the parts lists they all carried the same AFM & ECU, if that helps.

And A,

What do you mean about late model L24E's using funny conrods etc etc?

I recently stripped an 85 MR30Ti hatch and in particular, the motor.

The L24 rods have the same crank pin diameter as L28's and standard 22mm gudgeon pin bushes. In addition they use a 9.0mm big end bolt as opposed to the earlier 8.0mm, so I don't understand your strength comment.

Cheers, D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
