Hi everyone,

My L20ET has recently expired and I am trying to rebuild it but cannot find anywhere selling parts for it....

I am after a set of rings, possibly a piston, and a head gasket, maybe big ends, mains, etc etc.

Does anyone know where I can find these parts, in Adelaide? I have seen a PNV R30 for sale on here a while back which had just been rebuilt so some place must sell these parts?

She's gonna be a beast when i put it back together though ;-)

Thanks in advance

Dwayne

Big ends, etc will probably be the same as other L6 engines - measurement with the crank out will tell the story. Most of the gaskets will also be the same. Head gasket won't be because of the bore size and pistons/rings won't be readily available, I would think.

If you get stuck, give me your VIN number and I can identify the genuine PN's for the parts you need and then you can approach your Nissan dealer to get the parts from Japan (be sitting down tho when he tells you the price...)

a gasket set is easy to get as one for a l20a is a direct fit onto a l20et. (currently running that one mine right now 1 year so far) :)

It might be easy to get in New Zealand where these types of engines are more common, but the same is not the case in Oz I'm afraid. Why don't you post details of suppliers in NZ so that he can enquire about importing what he needs from there ?? Probably still be cheaper than buying genuine from Nissan over here.

Thanks for the replies guys...

I was a bit worried about going straight to nissan as I don't want to take out a mortgage to rebuild my engine but there aren't too many other options. I may have a replacement engine lined up anyway but would still like to rebuild mine, even if it is as a spare

But yeah, part numbers or any contacts would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Dwayne

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
