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!

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
