Hi guys, I'm the new guy from South Africa.

I'm a proud owner of a SKyline 2.8 GTX. {dr30 Shape}, and I think that these l28 motors were only assembled here in SA to the DR30 shape.

It has all the similar wiring, efi set up, only NA.

I was just wondering,

L28E Skyline GTX and the L20 Turbo.

Whats the differnce in power,

will the the L28 be quicker on Take off and better at top end.

What do you think?

The L28E would have better low-down torque, so better off the line. I vaguely remember that there wasn't a great deal of difference in power output between the L28E and L20ET, in stock form. Of course the advantage of the turbo is that it is easily boosted.....

The vast majority of L28E's were saw in Oz are pretty asthmatic, but there were a few 'higher spec' engines brought in by engine importers and mainly found their way into 240Z/260Z, plus some early Skylines, etc.

Just keep the L28 and turbo it :rofl:

FWIW

The LD28 models were known as the 280D GT-L & 280D GT-X, with the GT-L being available in Sedan & Hatchback. There is no mention in my Japanese brochures of a 2.8L coupe at all.

This is true, I concur.

Just scrutinised my R30 brochure and the only 2800 R30's are:

LD28 Powered 280GT-L in sedan and hatch & 280D GT-X in sedan only.

Only coupes are:

1800Ti/L (Z18S)

2000Ti-E/L & E/X (Z20E)

2000GT-E/L & E/X (L20E)

GT E, GT E/X & GT E/S (L20ET)

2000RS (FJ20)

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
