golden Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi there just picked up an r30 skyline paul newman version its been sat for a while and needs a fair bit of work. My first task is the ignition which is the reason it came off the road. I am looking for alternative easier to find dizzy caps that would fit the l20et engine. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407116-r30-in-the-uk-desperate-for-parts-and-info/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ghostrider would know for sure But Maybe the Distributor cap from L24E C210/C211 Skyline will fit it, pretty sure it does. The C210 and C211 were sold locally in england, manufactured from 1977 - 1981. Make sure you ask for the distributor cap for the L24E (Elec. Injection) engine not L24S (Carburettor) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407116-r30-in-the-uk-desperate-for-parts-and-info/#findComment-6489801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66yostagea Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 One thing I know about R30 dizzies is that manual and auto dizzies are different. From memory the caps are the same.

blind_elk Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The L20ET uses a full EFI style distributor, with a built-in CAS. The cap is quite large, much larger than the standard R30 / L24E cap. I think you might find the cap from a 280ZX might be similar.

66yostagea Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The R30 EFI dizzy has the large cap, wether manual or auto. It is the dizzy body that is different between the auto and manual.

tir31 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 not sure about the caps but the L20et dizzy is ecu driven unlike the L24e which is a stand alone setup where ecu connects to coil neg like tacho to sense when firing and has no control over timing etc. jon.

Socrates Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 C210 L20ET Distributors and caps are the same as the fuel injected L24E in MGC210s and MR30s R30 L20ET is the one which has the CAS and flat top distributor cap.
