lol i know u werent mate, just being cheeky

Its JAPANESE but its discernible through context..however i cannot find the ratio specs for the r30 4sp auto gearbox. Who has? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I punched in 0.686 ratio for gear 4 with a diff of 3.9 - gave me 96k/h @ 2000 rpm and 121 k/h @ 2500 rpm - ABOUT RIGHT! guess she pulls her weight alrigght, considering she's done 140k since 1984.

Reap what you sow true? Anyways I need this information bank to accessible in the future. Given the experience of the individuals involved in this undertaking, it will prove invaluable, as it already has, in most foreseeable circumstances. Again, just thanks. Friggin Fantastic.

purchased for $45 inc postage the two of you are like r30 gurus. much appreciated

haha u guys are friggin AWESOME!!

Dear skyliners thank you for providing me with great tips and info in the past. they have been invaluable. in order to really get my hands dirty and minimizing the chance of screwing the car up, i have been hunting for a copy of the r30 series manual + the supplement (auto transmission) if possible, if there is anybody out there willing to sell/gift/even photocopy one for me, that would be AWESOME

a treasure trove of information

Thanks mate My personal favourite: HPR Penrite as well. Before this vehicle used to drive an sv21 camry with about 350ks on the clock. had her running on penrite hpr50 (i know heavy duty) but worked like a charm for my engine. Thanks for the info mate much appreciated.

Hello all, I have a 1984 r30 skyline auto very clean. my question was in relation to petrol consumption: is 98-ron petrol suitable (my concern is the vehicle is pre-1986)? any recommendations to engine/transmission oil for the vehicle? spark plugs? thank you all

picked up an original injector (green) from a mate and currently in the midst of sourcing a manual and oil pressure sensor/sender, however, car is at mechanics for injector reconditioning and RWC. you guys have been very informative and it is highly appreciated. thank you very much.

D, Thank you for your help again, invaluable information as it opens up new perspectives regarding sourcing of resources. EBAY FTW! I was wondering what other vehicles besides the Holden VL and l28e had direct swap injectors? open up my options when i head down to the wreckers on saturday THANK YOU!

John, you are correct, 4 speed auto overdrive and the figures are the same ones i found scouring online..wanted to see what the variations are like..no matter i am certain the engine is in fair enough condition to pull the mileage -- ESPECIALLY after i fix the injectors! I am in Maidstone - bit of a hike to springvale but it had to be done! the only issue would be pulling a part that actually works/in good knick. i will call around to enquire with other wreckers (pref something nearer) see how we go. Sam

My link Hopefully you guys can see the link..if not, she's a Golden colour (dried maple leaves or maples syrup comes to mind lol). picked her up for $770.00 no reg no rwc (reg expired dec10). I have replaced the tyres for RWC purposes..the rest looks very clean inside out. I have not had a chance for a closer inspection since im a slave to the system, this weekend is gonna be busy hahaha. I will keep in mind re: hose clamps. the other issue is the oil sensor - there seems to be a minor oil leak around the seal and as such, the sensor is a dud and does not display a reading on the dash...could just be a clogged sensor (what a wonderful day it would be if both the injector and oil sensor were just clogged ^_^) any ideas on where i can score a replacement oil sensor for the l24e? compatible choices?? gentlemen (and ladies), i have posted maybe a couple of times. the amount of info provided has easily surpassed my expectations. thank you all it is very kind. hopefully it is just a hose clamp - car had been sitting idle for a few months prior to purchase - perhaps some moisture got in the fuel and clogged the injector? regardless, i will not discard replacing the injectors - time to search for compatible injectors! questions re: mileage - has anybody ever pulled a grandma on an entire tank of petrol in an r30 l24e? how did u go? there should be some discrepancy between auto and manual..but immaterial. if anybody has any info on 2nd hand copy of the manual + the supplement + oil sensor + injectors-- willing to pay a reasonable price! please pm me or email or whatever! and thank you all. PS i may be unclear with posting rules (e.g. looking to buy/sell etc) pls point out where i am wrong.

Hello I am currently after second hand copies of these 2 manuals. I am an int'l student working on a budget and I fell in love with this car! If there is anybody out there who wants to get rid of a copy, or just feels generous and dont mind sharing, please get in touch with me. Best regards, Hisham Khan

@ Dennis: thank you so much. You have provided me with invaluable insight. I will keep every bit of info you provided in mind it is a great starting point. @Michael: my understanding is that the 280z l28e engine has injectors with a higher flow rate, compatible but i am not sure as to wiring/programming implications. What would be the title for a service/repair manual for the l24e engine (or mr30 skyline, preferably)? quick search of ebay might help me hehe Anyone aware of the name/title of the injectors found in the l24e engine? i believe the stock ones are green, but again i am not sure as i am without point of reference. THank you again.

hello everyone, the name's sam, im an international student here in melbourne currently in final year of my study, also employed full-time i recently went car-hunting when i came across this epic 1984 skyline TI hatch l24e; 141000 km's on the clock, auto all electrics and aircon in working order. HOWEVER, i am in need of some specialty help the car is leaking fuel at one of the injectors. it is not a massive leak, but i surmise it is something that only gets bigger and bigger - need to put a lid on it! for this and many other prospective reasons, i was wondering if anybody had the repair/service manual for the r30 l24e for sale/any tips on where i can get one for a good price? (search keywords for ebay/amazon/google/etc.??) any tips on injector repairs/replacement/cleaning etc? (maybe its just blocked but i cannot be certain myself) this is also one of my first posts so please be gentle. i am also operating on a ridiculously short budget (int'l student) so any help at all will be great! very amateur with cars but i have the learning capacity. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone My name is Sam, recently purchased a 1984 Nissan Skyline MR30 L24E stock. Car is in good knick but I will need some help from all you veterans and experienced lads/lasses. Thank you,.
