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!

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
