nick, the guy who had it years ago dropped in a L24e from a series 2 MR30 skyline

his username was 'Neg'

the sump comes standard with a flat section on the side for an oil return to be welded on

the water line part is likely the part that heats up the idle control valve or throttlebody

unfortunatlryeh its just a stocko L24e, but the head has been recoed a while back, new gaskets etc

the rings are the buggered part...

the reason it kept popping was the microtech fuel only ecu was what was contolling well only fuel... not ignition at all!, the dizzy didnt retard timing on boost, so ping ping away

I will use the stock L20et gear, which is the 1st Nissan ECCS 'JECS' ecu setup, that does change timing, and fuel etc (but i will be useing the microtech as a piggyback for the minute)

Use Megasquirt if you have the time and money. works great with fuel and timing..

would do, but not got the cash, plus its bloody confusing what to use, ms1 v3 or all that....

hey you can help though!!

It's easier now, been there done that,

MS 1 or MS II is the CPU type (depending on what code you going to run as well I believe), I'm using MS II on the v3.0 board over the older v2.2 board, the v3.0 can support direct drivers, which I'm not using, but I believe you can control the coil(s) directly from the v3.0 board, the 2.2 board had to have extra hardware (fly back board I believe) .

when I did mine, I just uses MS for fuel, running the original dissy, then later I set-up waste spark, but the instructions (manual), are well done, easy step by step (as long as you know what you want). the actual first time set-up was a little over wheeling, but if you go through the manual it has answers for 95% of what you need. it would also help if it wasn't your Daily Drive, so you don't stress out if it's not doing what you want it to do.

interesting. I was wodering what the go was with the 2.4l block and how the turbo gear was only on 2 litres.

I need a pair of good coupe doors. would be alot easier then fixing the ones on it. anyone help?

Harvo, what are putting that supercharger on?

On the Datto if it'll fit, have to get the tape measure out and check first :D

Make or modify a pulley system, and finish off an adaptor for a 310 Holley.

Maybe a cam grind too.

Just doing it for something to do, waiting for cheap parts to come up and making use of the gear at work that's available to me. I wright it off as being "essential for my apprenticeship" hahah

Cheers Dan.

What ever happened to this car cam?

Sucks that it had to be parted! by the way i only did 3 hours driving on that head and it was fully reco'd

hope it didn't go to waste :(

nope not a waste at all mate. helped me successfully convert my car to manual and got a few good bits from it where my orange car failing. good stuff! im happy all the stuff went to good homes.

people are still ringing me about the car. it's gone peeps! sorry.

ive got it now. want to get it road going again but it will take bulk time, effort and coin, and lot of parts searching. ive got a buildup thread on auszoku which ill update whenever I do something.

someone buy this. or trade me something I need. like doors or a gearbox / tailshaft or something. or a running carby 2.4.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
