Hi, I am thinking about selling my L28E to fund a new project, if all goes accordingly with the insurance payout.

Rebuilt bottom end

flat top pistons (bumps compression up a bit)

recoed head (possibly some work)

Modded AFM, (possibly computer too??)

modded zorst manifold (larger dump where headers meet into 2 1/2")

basically everything to drop engine into another car (240Z etc)

Recoed R30 Stumpy 5 speed

Heavy Duty Clutch

All work carried out by Dat Rally in melbourne clocked up ~80rwKw on their dyno can hear running/test drive engine

Only been run on Optimax while in melb and PULP in tas

Make a reasonable offer (L28E engines go for $1200 from importers, but i am reasonable)

also available 2 1/2" mandrel bent zorst to suit

negotiable if purchased with engine

Oh im located in Tasmania

I would love to make an offer on the lot, but i just spent $2000 grand on a pushie, im now back into mountainbike riding. Now i think i would have had more fun in my car if i spent the money on that, so im really pissed off. plus i live in SA, so i couldnt really get it anyway.

Keep us up to date with the conversion, im thinking of doing the same when i have some cash.

Ive had my days of mountainbikes i spent way too much on a Giant ATX 890 a few years back and ended up selling it for a measly $800 bucks (big loss)

if you had the dosh what would you offer?

I got an Avanti Manic, then got disc brakes put on, its sweet.

Im not sure what i would offer. R32 RB20DET Manual halfcuts are between $2000-$2500, so i spose sonmething under $2000?

Really i have no idea. Best bet would be someone with a 240-260z or something, they might have more trouble complying a turbo motor, yours would be better for them, simple swap, no complience issues. Maybe try one of the datsun sites, i think ozdat might have a classifieds section. good luck.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
