Tried to do a search but kept getting this message:

Erreur Sphinx : connection to localhost:3312 failed

Merci de contacter un Administrateur !

Anyway just bought a C210 with L24, giving it a good service, and was wondering what gap the points have to be set to? And any other random tips/pointers you might have when it comes to these sexy old beasts. For example wha oil is best for them. Was thinking a 20W-50? Thanks.

Find a MR30 ('83-85 ish) with a L24e in it, grab the dissy, including the spacer bit (the bit between dissy and timing cover)

very easy to connect.

And while I'm getting such quick replies, what is standard ignition timing, what intervals in degrees are the timing marks, and do I set it with the vac advance on the distributor attached or off?

The lame questions will stop as soon as I get a service manual I promise!

You can poach the electric distributor out of a 280zx.

Also, I hear you can use a 4 cylinder Datsun Bluebird series 2 Bosch distributor, with a Bosch 6 cyl distributor cap (for holden or ford). Don't forget to grab the coil too. cheap and cunning way to go electric.

Got a pic of your car?

These are the two images that were on carsales that won my heart. LOL. I'll take more soon. The interior is immaculate. Carpet looks brand new!

Picked up an R30 distributor and coil for $50 today. Cheering!

I'm after a drivers side rear bumper end too if anyone has one spare...

Holy crap that thing is mint! What a score.

Ill post you up a bumper end as soon as I dig one up. $25 posted?

As for the wheels - don't know about offset etc, but you can go up to a 205/55/r15 tyre on a 15 inch rim without doing any modifications. All the datsun 4 stud wheels fit - from Z cars all the way to the 15 inch r31s and TRXs. I think there are some early 4 stud toyota wheels that fit too.

If you want to sell the factory wheels, plastic louvre or any of the other original bits please let me know. I can always find a home for them.

Also your front bumper looks like its sitting to close to the grill. Loosen the 2 monster bolts in the engine bay and slide it forward an inch and it'll look like it just rolled off a production line! Also I'd be filling those glorious doors with fish oil pronto, they are prone to rust!

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
