I do not want money out of you, I can not be farked asking...

called you, smsed you, pm'd you, no reply... and your constantly out of credit.

I initially sold you the damn farken SMIC for $20, not $45, but now have copped a $22.50 postage fee for no farken reason because of you.

so I'm left with no money, a SMIC, and -$22.50 and when I asked you to pay me the postage cost and you refused telling me shit that I can sell the SMIC for more to make back the money I lost.

Inconsiderate fool.

and about your wife, I am very sorry to hear, hope she gets better. Like I told you before, if you did not have the money at least tell me I can wait, then again I did for like 3 weeks till you decided to pick up your stupid phone.

Hey works 510...A mate from NSW is interested in the con-rods, so if you are actually after them let me know eh!

Apparently there are 2 x types of L20et, early type have strong as F!#&*K internals, and this is an early type!!(1981)

the cam are different over the years too, so that MAY go as well, just need to inspect which one it is (self oiling or oil squirters...)

i stripped the L20et down over the weekend... not hard at all

the oil pump was so easy to get out... just undo bolts and it in ya hands in a jiffy! i thought i was going to have to take all the timing cover of and chain and shit.

but the rest is one heavy fekker to move by ya self... i lifted the block/head/internals 3m in my car port... very sore back now!

when i start stripping my spare L24e i will note the differences of the oil pumps so ppl here can see for themselves...

the hardest part was prying the sump off.... it was the biatch of the day.

pics to come....

good to hear you're ripping into it Andrew... post some pics, or send me some in an email..

and watch the back... i did mine in when i rebuilt both manifolds after a slight exhaust gasket leak that pissed me off cause i could hear it but no one else could... anyway, putting 52 new hose clamps on, and new hoses (super tuff ones - had a few cooling leaks that nearly blew up the motor and didn't want it happening again) now i have these farking hoses on there that will never come off.. makes changing anything difficult.. to give you and example.. the oil return t the sump took me and 3 other mates two days to put on!!!

sorry to hear about the misses, and hope she's doing better and i'll talk to ya soon

how the hell do i get the crank off?

tell me before i bust something!!!

have you undone all the main crank caps ? The center one needs a bolt screewed into the center of it. Then you pull it upwards.

I;m sure you will have fun removing the front crank bolt. mine = 1/2 strong arm, Hammer handle on a counter wieght on the crank. And a 6ft bar on the end of the strong arm. Alot of jumping lol!

Dans l20b seen about 10,000rpm in a mis change and that front pulley bolt and flywheel bolts came loose!!! ;)

Arg interested in them rods again for my z18et build...only need 4 of :woot:

ceecee its coming home this weekend, so i will get cracking with the parts.

if yo are in melb come over and gimme a hand!

and works510, the rods are yours, i just gotta figure out how to get them off! (Stewart Wilkins wanted them and offered $100 for the set, but im sure you got something i can swap them for???)

  • 4 weeks later...

OK things are starting to come along, i have a roadworthy exhaust, plus NISSCO said they can press new ball joints into my existing control arms etc. fo r a reasonable price...plus they have a few other steering mods they like to do on R30's (bracing the steering box to stop firewall flex??)

now im going over the HR30 loom i have (came with the L20et package)

there seems to be something missing!

does anyone know much about the " FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE" as i dont have one! it is meant to have 4 wires... as seen in the attatched pics

any suggestiond on WTF im gonna do??

Fuel pump control modules are a waste of time, If you even think of upgrading your fuel pump from the factory one. you will run into problems. The control module is only a stepping voltage unit running off the AFM. Drops it down to around 8volts for idle. I burnt mine out when i put a upgraded to a big 600hp bosh unit.. Just run a good power feed from the battery, Do a relay switch from the ignition. You should be fine

This is what it looks like with no covering,

Its unpluged as you can see, And next to it is the 30amp 5 pin relay i wired in. hell. HAHA talk about messy days back then

I can get brand new control arms for around $50 each. You should be able to get them over there, Dont trust pressing these ball joints out. I had one done and it fell out doing 80k around a corner. That was intresting

Thanks for the fuel pump info....

what i dont understand is if i upgrade to a bigger pump, and hook it up as you described without the modulator, wont it just be running on 12 volts constantly? is that going to put strain on everything when its idleing? or should i have a 2nd relay setup to reduce the voltage (and pressure) when my foot is off the pedal?

i thinking it might be easier to go to a specialist... unless you can privide a bit more info!

AND

where can you get new LCA's for $50 each! can you get an idea of how much postage will be to Melbourne?

(the rally shop seemed to think the pressed in ball joints will hold well, maybe they were after my ca$h!)

regards,

Andrew

Voltage drop can be a pain, you will find the FPR regulates the pressure anyway. You will fine, Well this is my theory, Mainly for volume level. (i dont think the common buy likes noisy fuel pumps)

thats the right hand side... part number bj515+arm Id look around alot of places here stock them, which is weird. not so common car : ./

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
