Wow, what a fantastic find! i would be especially gratefull if anyone has the section on installing the gearbox into that car (especially hooking up the speedo/tacho) Jim, i will contact you and come up to yours to pick it up soon? anyone else if you have a copy, please scan it in and email it to me! [email protected] thanks!

Icv?

sold, subject to payment

yeah, rb25de came in non-vct (R32) and VCT (R33) nope, hadn't seen that one before, will definantly have to look it up, was it a 240Z or 240K? and idea rough timeframe of when that issue was out? ta

no your not wasting my time at all!, I looked into doing that, but seeing as we already have an rb25de engine and loom with the majority of sensors we will need, it seemed a lot simpler than having to work out what sensors needed to be found to get the rb20det loom up and running (besides the power fc for rb20det costs just as much as an aftermarket system anyways). i even went down the path of looking at buying an rb20det halfcut so we would have everything then we could sell parts off that we didn't use, but it just turned out to be too expensive.. and there are LOTS of other things to spend money on! (and the temptation to just throw the rb20det would be too great!) it would be nice to get the rb20det powerfc working, i think it would just complicate things alot more for us (not something we really need with the little experience we have and the huge job ahead ) the other option may be to try and hook up an rb25det powerfc, though i have no idea what i would need to do to get the r33 rb25de engine and loom to match.

yea there are a few, but from all the bits i have already collected (wiring and sensors etc) it will just be easier to cut into an aftermarket ECU (i have to redo the wiring in the datsun anyway) than to convert everything to rb20det bits and pieces

i will send him a pm, thanks

Thanks carlo, something else to add to the ecu shopping list.. so far i have down 6 ignition outputs (don't want to run wasted spark) 6 injector drivers closed loop password protected (at this stage it looks like the only one to match is EMS 8860, after the next software version to cover the 6 ign drivers) from what i can work out, the powerfc can't be password protected, and can be therefore changed by the owner (through the powerfc) hence why they wouldn't be accepted.. mind you i have also heard that some won't accept aftermarket ecu's even if they are password protected (and the owner has no clue what it is).. not sure if this is because they are lazy Kent

any updates on the catch can situation as described by Craved?

daiso, it might be a good idea to start a new thread on your topic, you may get a lot more reply's (as the majority of people porbably won't be monitoring this thread because of it's size) and help keep this thread purely about the RB30 conversion Thanks Kent

updated once again!

anyone? make an offer!

mine is a series 3 with the rough dash (good for scratches, they rub right off ), i got a coin slot (not that it fits anything bigger than 5cent pieces!) prank's was a series 1 with the smooth dash from memory.. i assume they switched somewhere in between

Hi Guys, as some of you may know, Christian and Myself are building up a Datsun 240K (remember the 2000GT-R?), for an on road charity rally next year, then it will be a bit of a showcar and hopefully track car (if we work out the inherent understeer). The car needs to be street registered. The car is a 1974 Datsun 240K GL, with a 2.4L carby engine our plans for it include RB30E with twincam head (RB25DE) and (probably an initially small RB20DET Turbo) RB20DET RB25DET or MX7 gearbox 300ZX front brakes, R31 Skyline rear brakes ECU of some description... now my questions are to do with getting the engine engineered (all by the books!) and registered with the RTA. I have done a lot of looking around in the past few days, and i can only assume, all those with twin cam mods (VL's and some of us) etc.. are keeping shush about having their cars engineered. I would prefer to know as much background as i can before enlisting the advice of an engineer, as from what i have heard, some can be rather lazy and prefer to just say things can't be done (as it causes them more paperwork). 1) ECU's.. well, i managed to get an R33 RB25DE head, not an R32 head which means we should simply have to use an r33 RB25DE loom and ecu to get it to work properly (assuming the turbo runs off a seperate boost controller etc..).. This means we won't be able to tune the car to bed in/ run properly, so the only solution (rather than dropping the idea for a simple RB20DET swap, andything more is starting to get $$$$$) i can see is to fit an aftermarket ECU (i can hear the tiny pitterpatter of engineers feet running away as i speak!). I don't mind having the car tuned and set up to pass emmisions tests (apparently they are free from EPARTA in Penrith and Botany?) if that is what we have to do, as long as it isn't going to cost us megabucks, but i know the RTA and engineers can be very negative towards aftermarket ECU's (i assume it is more paperwork).. I have heard that if they are tamperproof (ie. the owner can not self modify the ecu, it may be okay, perhaps a password etc.), can anyone confirm? and does any one know what ecu's will allow for this (Motech? Autronic?)? the thought of running a hidden ecu has crossed my mind, but i am pretty keen on having this thing absolutely by the books! 2) Emmisions gear.. with an RB30 block, and an RB25DE head, what emmissions gear do we need to fit? from what i can make out, it is pretty much only the charcoal cannister (and exhaust of course) hopefully there is someone out there that can help us with a little bit of advise, i don't want to give up the RB30DET dream unless i really am forced to. Kent

yeah, but he doesn't put out half as well as you do

hehe bring it on buddy there is always something to do on the 240k we have a position available at the moment for someone to sit in the engine bay making RB noises (complete with sneezes).. only problem is, you gotta push it up and down our driveway too.. oh and the drags aint going to be fun either..

yeah story of my past 3 months thanks guys..

Thanks guys, HCR32 is that Jap performance in moorebank? looks like there is a shortage of them atmo typical!

if your still interested, i have a power fc (no hand controller) for $900ono.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...87&goto=newpost shouldn't be too hard to find a h/c for it

Hi Guys, does anyone know where in sydney you can get an R32 RB20DET frontcut from? i have tried justjap, they don't have any in stock. thanks Kent

Hi Guys, 3 very quick questions for you, 1) can the R32 RB25DE ECU be rechipped (as the RB20DET one can?) 2) if i add a turbo to an R32 RB25DE head, assuming it can be remapped to suit, will i need anything else electrically to support the turbo (apart from a boost controller) 3) is the r32 rb25de gearbox the same as the rb20det box? thanks guys

is the r32 rb25de ecu chippable too?

Yep works on R33/32, it is the PFC GTR33L model http://www.apexi.co.jp/products/electronics/linup.html Just pulled it out, somebody has stuck a bit of foam on the back of it (though it was sold to me as new). i have no idea what state of tune it has, if it has any.. not that that should matter, as you will need to tune it anyways.. you may be lucky.. it may already have a tune (save you some $$$, as you would just then need to get it adjusted for your car.)

nope it is just the computer.. in box, with all original documentation etc.. you would need to dbl check what hand controller to use, i tried prank's (R33/32 GTR powerfc pro) H/C, it didn't work, obviously this computer is slightly different to the std R32/R33 power FC.. (i would say mine was probably a newer version) will get the model number tonight for you
