Is There Such Thing As A Factory L24et? (jdm)

[Factory 5]

I need someone to check out a 5 speed Mr30 l24eT for me in canberra.

i escpext this person to be able to drive ( as this car has angry bits)

Photos and test drive essential.

Please reply here!

EDIT:

this guy is a young mechanic and he bought it from an older guy who said the engin is an import from japan.

the head casting is a N47, which is a 84 onwards standard aussie head isnt it?

im just thingking maybe he told the young guy that or maybe it actually was modified in japan then shipped here....

so basically the question is, is there such thing?

i'd try to get the ID off the block to confirm L24 first, if the car is an import get that info, there were NO turbo aus built factory cars offered so it would have had to have been imported or built here in oz...compliance is what you want to see....

[66yostagea]

My accountant has an R30 with L24et. It has no Aus compliance plate.

there are 2 plates involved here, the importing compliance plate that would say the car came over with such and such an engine or the Mod compliance plate to say the engine has been turbo'd and engineered to aus standards. the mod plate is a hit and miss thing though....with out it it might make it hard to register in another state...

was your accountants car factory built or workshop/backyard built?

There are factory released l24et's. Check with the nissan's listings. Quite intresting.

[Factory 5]

the car is an 1984 Aussie Ti, would of origionally had a L24e.

The ENGINE is said to be an import.

sorry for the confusion.

where do i check for nissans listings? i cant find any info at all!

the head is def. a n47

Is there much difference between a n42 and n47? there is a rebuilt n42 on ebay for $40... would it have a lower compression ratio???

thanks for the help so far!

you learn something new every day....

i've never read anything that has listed an L24et version r30, does it give a model # or was it a special release?

[discopotato03]

I've never seen anything mentioning an L24ET in any production car . I think some were screwed together for American race classes , not certain but wasn't IMSA GTU an under 2.5L capacity class ? From what I've read only the L20A and L28 had a production turbo option . Also I'm not aware of the L24E being std to anything but an MR30 .

Will look into this , cheers A .

Go talk to nissan them-selfs. Dont run off or relly 100% on internet information. According to City Nissan parts department here in wellington, They have a listing for a factory l24et.

My accountant has an R30 with L24et. It has no Aus compliance plate.

This car has only the factory plate and no evidence of any other plate being fitted,

There were plenty of R30 with turbo motors, but nowhere can I find any evidence of an L24et. There was an L24S. And there were cars shipped to NZ that were hybrids They were not available in Aus. because of the "Supercar" controversy. And may have been specials, such as Autech etc.

I'll keep looking.

[discopotato03]

I think you'll find an "RB24" is a stretched RB20 and an "RB28" a stretched RB26 . I think there was an RD28 but it was a Diesel .

There is no such thing as an 'L24ET' from the Nissan factory in a production car and there's certainly nothing on the master parts list about such a thing.

L24S = single carb motor

[66yostagea]

Not anywhere I can find.

The first EFI L24 surfaced in what we know as a C211 in 80/81

My sources tell me in Japan's R30's the only engines were; Z18, L20B, FJ20E, L20E and L20ET and later in the DR RSX came the FJ20ET & DET. It is my understanding the only L24E's went to Australia as Skylines and USA as Maxima's. The M30 Infinity using a VG30E engine. A diesel LD28 version was produced for South Africa & Middle East.

But alas, as SteveL says, No L24ET! No such potato ex anywhere Nissan.
