are these a Rare car??

: 0

You found a mint 240k and are asking if it's rare?

Yes. Due to very high overseas demand, especially for the sedan, it is now a rare and increasingly pricey car to get hold of in Australia.

Not that this is likely to be your number one concern, but the RB conversion is likely to sink the value of the car compared to leaving it as a tweaked L.

There are plenty of brake and suspension mods (search here, classic z cars, ozdat), but again, don't expect to see much of a return for your money.

As a tip I'd shelve any original parts you remove from the car. I've recently been buying back stock parts that I let go years ago, and it sucks a bit!

Get some photos up, and good luck with it!

thank you for the reply.

the rb should go in with very little modification if not ill leave the l28 in it and throw a turbo on it.

value of 5-10K?

If the car is immaculate, stock down to the wheels, AM radio, no speaker holes cut in it, and an L engine of some type, and still the original colour you should see 10, with the car bound to end up in a shipping container for Saudi-Kuwatia via the UAE.

If you convert to RB, mag wheels, CD player in the console etc expect to maybe see 5, with an Australian buyer...

The exception to all this is if you go so completely over the top and end up with something exceptional like the kid K RB 240K (the black one):

but by then of course you'll have spent way more than 10 anyway.

It seems like we have a lot of talented people when it comes to fabrication in this section just thought we could get some of the research and development people are doing in one place to share some of the data,

Things I'm working on at the moment

  • Tie rod adaptors to run s13 tie rods with the s13 coil over conversion into a R30
  • Drive shaft/ CV upgrade for a R30 running a R200 long nose

What else are others upto?

Hi...i have a simple question for you guys i hope you can help me...how many wires does a L20et TPS have? mine has 2 wires but I found the original L20ET wiring diagram and it shows me 3 wires, the 2 wires are wired correctly to the ECU which is pin 25 & 18 the other is 20 but it doesn't go the the ECU it goes to some other jack, can't figure out what jack though, because the diagram is in Japanese.

Can anyone translate the diagram for me? I will send it to whoever can. Thanks!

Howdy all I'm new to here and skylines in general coming from a pulsar back ground my collection includes three c110 coupes (2x76's and a 75) I sold a rusted out c110 sedan to someone in Kuwait for $800 and two hours later a i had a new one in the garage. Then my track KEN13 87 Exa, OPT20 EF Falcon and lastly my 09 Jazz :P

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
