mine was doing this, CHECK YOUR BATTERY TO STARTER AND ALTERNATOR CABLES!! Replace if in doubt

K sweet as

You can have my HR30 Paul Newman Version for $3000

those 300zxs have crap handling on the track compared to a skyline. ive driven both (unless there was somehting wrong with the 300zx)

I have had my TPS disconnected for over a year on my l20et auto and no problems...that i know of anyway The kick down for the auto is at the pedal.

wow... that brown interior is poos

wow good to know that, so therefore r32 stuff should fit too?

Well i have 2 books "How to modify your Nissan Datun motor" & "How to rebuild your Nissan Datsun L". And i have a workshop manual (that i got off trademe.co.nz for $3). Let me know what info your after

that guy sucks at driving...

What type of information? Whats the L24E in? A Skyline i assume?

Ok, what other Clutch Cylinders (Master and Slave) and all the other stuff I need for manual conversion. Are compatible with r30s?

Check your battery terminal connects, and the wires going to starter motor and alternator. My r30 was doing this last month, my battery terminals were dodgy even tho they "seemed" fine to me. But in the end my battery was stuffed too

My l20et's old alternator used to do this. I was told it was the Rectifier by a few auto electricians. I got another alternator for free and thre it on and it solved alot of problems i had with the vehicle.

what about NZ? :-P

Is 2Gs called George aswell? :-P What would you pay for a 300zx. Im going to look at one shortly. I'd be interested in exporting them to people in australia who wanted them.

its a 05l head, and stagefumer knows that also.

OK i managed to get that pulley off without a puller, and the front cover off. now for another big write up: Ok!!! I finally got it off, after a shitload of CRC (WD40), a whole small can of it infact! And CRC gasket remover in the seam between the front cover and block. (I was very carefull not to get it near my near head gasket). Then about 10 mins later and alot of baking in the sun (its was 28 celcius here when i was doing it) i gave the four corners a whack with a hammer and it finally came lose!! Then I cleaned all of the bits that came off with degreaser for a good hour. They came up really nice! While the degreaser was doing it's job I started working on the tensionner, chain and getting it the cam sprocket back on the cam (with the chain on it). Now i'm a bit paranoid that in the whole process of getting the crankshaft pulley bolt out, that I moved it from TDC. My cam is set to how it was when I took the head off. I adjusted the crank to back to what should have been TDC on #1. Then I put the cam sprocket with chain back onto the cam. Was that the correct thing to do? I have "How to Modify Datsun & Nissan Motors" and a Skyline FSM (doesnt actually cover the L20ET though, only the L20 (carb) and L24E. I'm pretty sure I set the timing correct in that perspective but im not sure. I tried going by the literature that I have. Someone PLEASE help me out, PM me if you dont feel like writing a reply to this. How do I know that the cam is alligned with the crankshaft correctly? If the timings all messed up when I get it running again will it be a huge mission to correct it? ;etc etc Regards, George

Does the puller look like this that i should use?

I figured thats what you mean. So once I have the front cover off, how easy is it to fix this chain problem?

Do you mean the radiator panel as in the radiator? cause i will be taking that out. Ok i start my course again on monday (a automotive mechanics course), so i'll ask my tutor to show me how to use a puller.

it all went to hell with the chain. read my post about removing front timing cover

Thanks for that, all the valves are up pretty much except #2 exhaust and #3 inlet i think it is, they're out about 5% so its alright. I'll do it the starter motor way as its kind of difficult getting under the gearbox as my cars cramped up in a garage and i really only have access to the front. Are the pullers easier enough to use?

http://www.templeoftriumph.org/tsoa/images/76sep02.jpg look at him! hes awesome!! who else has their own skyline named after them!?

PAUL NEWMAN KICKS F.UKCING ASS! I dont care what anybody says i love my PNV Skyline. if there were 5000 made where the hell did they all dissapear too!?

Thank, i noticed those 4 nuts today when i was looking at how to get it off. I've had a socket on that crank pulley bolt so i could get to TDC. Car is automatic, how would i hold it stationary? Is this needed to undo that 27mm crank bolt? So I dont need to use a puller? Cause i dont have one and i was sure hoping i wouldn't have to purchase one ..I found this at http://www.gglotus.org/ggtech/esprit-timebelt/espritbe.htm "Turn the crankshaft pulley attaching bolt using a 19 mm socket on the end of a pull bar and rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the pull bar touches the frame. Now bump the starter by using the ignition switch or by shorting the starter terminal on the solenoid if you are familiar with the procedure. The starter turns the engine in the correct direction to loosen the crankshaft pulley attaching bolt" Should i do something like this?
