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!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
