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!

Spotted this in Tokyo Last Week, it was down the road from where they were setting up Tokyo Motor Fest, so it may have been there for that, unfortunately I was flying out the next day. It was driving

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!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
