Hi guys,

Short of finding one in a wrecker's yard, I was wondering if anyone here had a spare R30 distributor unit with bracket they could spare? I will be looking into wreckers shortly but thought I may as well ask here first!

Thanks,

I got one from my L28E if that helps.

Cheers, D

what do you mean by "what model l20et"?. I'm not too sure actually.

Well! I'm guessin they're all the same, but just thought you might give me some of the numbers to be sure before we start posting things back & forth across the tasman.

The distributors have numbers on the sides, which identify them for series of manufacture etc etc and I'm looking for a spare, as the L28ET motor I bought only had the EFI dizzy, not the turbo one on it.

Cheers, D

Got one in a wrecker's yard, from a 280ZX though there were a couple of R30's there aswell.

Installation is all good so far, but I forgot to take the ZX pedestal so the timing is way off... got to go back to get it tomorrow I guess!

EDIT: Got it on and all working, tis nice!

    • Yes you should be able to use that connector to force it to run, that is how you bleed the system. If it doesn't work for some reason it will also run if you have the engine running and open one of the bleed nipples (put a plastic tube on it first like when bleeding a brake nipple to make sure no air sneaks in). A common cause for error 51 is the earth between the subframe and chassis causing the pump to get insufficient power (because the subframe is rubber mounted)...you could start by just adding an earth if the factory one is suspect.
    • This arrived in the mail 🤤 So I've paired it with a Tomei exhaust coming from Kudos too. Ended up getting the GTR one, fitments is hopefully not too far out.
    • I might have when I had my S15, but that would've been Pre-2012.. not anytime recently.. when I get this build on the road, will see hopefully there's some meets planned.
    • What a mission....good perseverance and thank god we don't really have a rust problem around here!
    • That is a right pain, but much better than having a dead forever unit, good on them for helping (sort of) instead of ignoring. Most likely internal connections will be like a laptop/consumer electronics. Tiny white plug/socket connectors, sets of pins joining mother/daughter boards and ribbon cables for any display connectors into those long plastic housing that flip up (I can see at least 2 of those in the pics). If you are not familiar with them, there would be youtube on all of them, nothing is hard just need to know the tricks
