I have a 1983 R30 Nissan Skyline in good condition, but needs a new clutch. It still has the original clutch and I was thinking of putting a better one in. What do you recommend? Also I was thinking about doing up the car. Is is possible to put a turbo in one of these and how much? What else would be a useful upgrade? Thanks.

yeh you can get heavy duty clutches for them i have one in my R30.

Over all its not worth the hastle to try turboing your L24E it would be far more practical just to put a good 2 1/2" exhaust, maybe some extractors, change the air intake (ie cut hole in top of air box or modify to fit pod filter) then have the mixtures adjusted on the AFM by a professional. will be a fun car the 6 cylinder L series sound awesome with an exhaust.

i had all this and alot more to my R30 including worked L28E

When you did this conversion, did you have to do anything with the clutch master cylinder position, or did it stay where it was etc.

I am in the process of building an HR30 Paul Newman with similar, only going to RB30/25 hybrid DET.

As for clutch upgrades, the choice is endless depending on the money you want to spend. I am using a flywheel from Castlemaine Rod Shop, designed to use the 10.5 inch VL Turbo clutch. The cover has been made with over 1000kg full load and the drive plate Kevlar faced. Considering the standard MR30 clutch is only 8.8 inchs and 450kg full load, it makes a very tidy upgrade. As it is untested at present, I think it will be better than any paddle clutch used on the street today and comparable to twin & maybe triple plate clutches and a stack of dollars cheaper.

As for original question, re turbo, I have an MR30 Ti Hatch with L24ET, the turbo was the standard T025 off the HR30 and it keeps up with any stock REX, it handles better than most rex's due to my suspension mods. The parts are relatively easy to get, they are all BOLT ON from the L20ET motor. If your serious, I might know where there is all the bits you need, in Sydney. I am soon to try a GT17 on it, as the GT17 is ball bearing, it is about the same size, but should spool up a lot faster reducing the lag to nearly nil.

I don't have much time for the L28 engine because after looking at the specs, it only has an extra 10HP over the L24E motor, I don't think the cost factor is worth the change. The MR30 L24E has 93.4 Kw (125HP) the L28 from 280ZX has 135HP. With the mods suggested by Phat R30 your L24ET would probably blow away a stock rex. NOW! wouldn't that put a few noses out of joint.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
