well.... i must be looking for the wrong thing, for about the last 10 months!

fark im just gonna take it to NISSCO and get them to make me a list, and a quote to get it done, the steering basically needs all bushes replaced, tie rod ends (boots split/missing) ball joints etc...

this is so rediculous i bought this car late last year, still not friken regoed yet... i just want to drive it!

Yeah. I got the R30 last year and have just got it going. Needs a brake master cylinder kit though. May even need the booster.

Incidently you can get a boot kit (2off) from SuperCheap or similar. So if joint is ok its only $5 to fix.

my steering parts vocabulary is kinda limited...

i need a diagram so i can order the correct parts, any help would be really appreciated!

i took the skyline out for a wash on saturday.... man its so easy to drive! sounded a bit like an XF falcon with the fan spinning away....

im wondering if the 'twin thermo fan' mod is a good idea, thus removing the engine fan???

i also finally chopped the wrecks good exhaust out, so now i gotta replace the mani' gasket and get it all bolted back in, then get the 2 pieces welded in!

i now have RWC tyres too....

some extra goodies should be arriving this week, so its all on now!

after it a regoed etc... then the real stuff goes on.

im thinking of what is needed for engineers cert too? can anyone help on this too???

in NSW i was told it ould be fine, but i dunno for VIC....

latest stuff:

recieved a working L20et ECU, (YAY!)

working brake master cylinder from a paul neman version

(plus a brand new 300zx as an upgrade/spare)

just sorting out a loom to suit the L20et ECU now...prob end up making my own.

(what did bigJC do???!)

!!! shit yeah.. i got quoted $300+....mmmm if i could just find an L28...mmmmm torquey goodness!!

this R30 is forsale... L28 conversion (so the sump has been modified etc too...)

5 speed...

the guy was asking for $1000... but i dont think its worth that much.

maybe $800...

it has a mild cam and a 2.25 exhaust, R32 non-turb rims etc....

i can get in contact with him if you like? its driveable... but a drive to perth might be abit dangerous as it would get covered in yellow/orange stickers on the way!

yeah...would cost me more in fines?!! what does the sump need changing for???? i could just use the one off the L20T eh?!!

the oil pickup goes into the bowl part of the sump... a L28 is opposite to the R30 type oil pickup

i think there are a few other small things too (not many ppl share this kind of knowledge)

but if you already have a L20et... just get a L24 liek i am, then you dont have to worry about sump shit!

although a guy in 1996 did a 11 sec 1/4 mile with a psyco worked L20et.... around 340HP too

if you got the time and the equipment get the L20et stripped right down, then get it all ballances, new rings, major head work, stagefumer style intake and go nuts

im doing this though with the 2.4 litre block as that extra 20% capaciity has GOT to mean something!

i just need a P90 head or N42 to port out, as N47 is a piece of shit for turbo applications (perfect for N/A streeter though)

oooooo i have a intake named after me :D

well i think it sounds better than "non- EGR shaved anti california" or whateva they call it on hybrid z!

i think stagefumer style sounds pretty good eh!

i have 4 intakes at the moment,

L28e

L24e x2

L20et (with egr shit)

im still thinking which one to chop to graft in some bigger runners like this engine

and why is there so much crap on thw L20et intake!!!!!!!!!

oh and as bigJC has learnt, im not going to use re-pressed in ball joints. not a chance!

In regards to a previous post that I missed, V8 Skyline man once pointed out that he had spun no less than 3 L-series engine fans through his radiator. Don't know about you but I'm definitely going thermos...

Agreed, dont touch press in units. I learnt the hard way also..

Ill be sending some arms very soon

ive tracked down a P90 head with turbo cam etc.... also tracked down a N42....

im kinda confused which is the best one to use!

i might just stay with the N47 until i bust something on it, as the big D once told me about a N47 equipped L24et that kept up with a WRX!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
