Body resto and what ever needs done to be done then will see if i build another motor but add a few goodies in side

and bolt on s will see what turns up no rush as i think it's a good buy doesn't owe me a fortune so spending some on

it no an issue.Finding the parts will be.

congratulations mate hope you're happy with the purchase and if you need anything just give us a ring...

looking forward to some updates trickling through soon :blink:

Hey Mate

Yeah real happy really nice car will be going in the shed and spend a few bob on the body as we spoke about

then see what i can do to screw some more Hp out of it but keeping it as it looks ie: cam rods head turbo ecu

etc etc, all in good time though.

get in contact with 'stagefumer' who is one of the users on here

He wringed 130kW out of his L20et, he used VG30et injectors and turbo, exhaust and a few other bits from memory.

Seeing as you are in melbourne, I suggest getting in contact with Status Tuning in Dandynong or some other NISTUNE professional tuner, they will highly likely be able to rig up a RB30e ECU to replace the L20et one.

The RB ecu can be re-tuned on the dyno/laptop/ air fuel guage combo,

the flap style AFM can be replaced with the RB30e unit too.

the L20et cant be re-tuned itself as no-one really has hacked it, as its too many hours needed and just easier to get a later model ECCS unit.

the 300zxt (Z32) ECU is also a good one, has better resolution,

A mate had his RB30e turboed with just ebay bolt ons, and had his ECU chipped from a fella in Adelaide, 'darkhalf'... anyway his dyno run as stockish RB30e netted 102kW at the rears, then with turbo gear, and the chipped ecu... 210kW at the wheels. that was an 8 hour install. Was a ripper of a day, drove in at 6am, drove out sideways thet evening

Thanks for the info will file it away for future reference i need to get some front panels first though do the body so any help on panels for one of these would

be appreciated.

Hi,

Post up a list of what you're looking for. There are some R30's at a local pick-a-part. (Best one disappeared recently - hate to think what happened to it). I can do some scouting (with camera) if you like.

I am wrecking a 4 door hatchback currently. Shipping will be a killer though.

front panels are spoken for, basically all that is of use to you is the front stone tray and the doors?

So how are the 'bit' for me coming along, or have you forgotten ?

Why would you bother with an L20ET?

Just bung in an L28E and associated turbo gear (yank ebay would be your friend for stuff like L28ET manifold and injectors, afm, ecu etc). Will end up about 1,000,000,000,000x better off than modding the L20. Simple maths, 40% more capacity is going to make a massive difference.

paint and panel would be foremost but a simple turbo upgrade to a VG30 and a decent intercooler would see a 30kw gain or 130kw easily. And cheap too

i would have bought it just for that rear garnish for the boot lid!

yeah you don't find them anymore and the aussie delivered one ain't the same... i did see a wrecked one in QLD years back that had the same boot trim and it was still good but yeah, years ago

And LAG out your ass on an L20A engine.

Me for one, likes response from the loud pedal and therefore bigger turbo's on a little and very badly designed motor is not a plus in my opinion.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
