i was wondering if any one can help me out with some info.......

i actually own a 1966 prince skyline gt-b. it use to have a l28 with twin carbs till about 3 months ago when the top let go.

no i am almost finished completing a RB20DET engine conversion....... only catch..... i need to know anbot the pulse signal the speedo gives to the computer..... i wont to try and use the orginal speedo.... and fit a pulse generator like the ones the use for peed alerts.

The Question is: does the speedo give out a pulsing power feed to the computer or does the computer give the speedo a power feed and the speedo turnes that to a pulsing earth feed....... any help would be greatly appreciacted in this matter. Cheers...... :P

Speedo is mechanically driven off the gearbox.

If you mean the tacho, then the ECU sends the signal to the tacho, presumably based on the number of impulses it gets from the CAS.

Try a guy on here by the name of prince....he has a C110 gt ex with an rb20 running carbs...yes...carbs.....if anyone knows for sure i'd bet he does

Good call Jason.

Pete, "Prince" is Ray. You met him at Beechworth. White '73 coupe with the rb20. If you have no luck here, You should be able to get through to him via the Prince register.

Don't forget to keep us classic tragics :) up to date with the progress.

Can you make it to Goulburn??:whatsthat

Cheers,

Jim.

But it sounded so nice with the L28 in it!

Yes, I've seen you around Adelaide - I own that red DR30 that was in front of you on North Terrace a few months back...

it did sound nice ben with the l28 in it... but when the head went bang..... and i couldnt find the head i wanted.... ( p79, p90 or a l20et head)... my mate decide i should upgrade.... and wot better up grade than a sleepy looking prince with an rb20det? if ya wont a look at it here's my web page..

i look at it it will be quick and still keeping with the theme of a true skyline gt with a high performance 6cyl in it.

i look at it this way.... my car has been severely modified before i got it ( ie: big steel flares, l28, twin carbs large mags... and i mean from a 165-13 inch rims thats suppose to be on it to a 235-60 -15... wot more could i say.) i have improved it more with the new motor... volvo 4 spot calipers on the front bigh front mount intercooler hidden behind the grill . Painted from white to a nice purple and fixed the body.... now she will be a lil' weapon when she's back....

have to catch up sime time so you can have a look at it...

Pete...

Ps: maybe i be able to keep up efortlessly now with this conversion... if i can get the wheels to stick to the ground!

Guess what?

I've got a complete L20A head (requires recon) just lying around.

I've also got a welded, but otherwise bare N42, also lying around....

Still the RB20DET is a better way to do things.

Actually, looking at your car in its 'before' state, I reckon I had a look at it in a car yard down south in around 1995!

just found out that i do need signal for speed sensing for the ecu... now the question i need to ask is the signal a square wave...(negitavely earth) or saw tooth wave ( poistively earthed). if i can find out i might be able to use a pulse generator that they can fit speedo cable ( ones they use for retro fit of speed alerts on aftyermarket cars)......

    • 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. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
