Hi, I am thinking about selling my L28E to fund a new project, if all goes accordingly with the insurance payout.

Rebuilt bottom end

flat top pistons (bumps compression up a bit)

recoed head (possibly some work)

Modded AFM, (possibly computer too??)

modded zorst manifold (larger dump where headers meet into 2 1/2")

basically everything to drop engine into another car (240Z etc)

Recoed R30 Stumpy 5 speed

Heavy Duty Clutch

All work carried out by Dat Rally in melbourne clocked up ~80rwKw on their dyno can hear running/test drive engine

Only been run on Optimax while in melb and PULP in tas

Make a reasonable offer (L28E engines go for $1200 from importers, but i am reasonable)

also available 2 1/2" mandrel bent zorst to suit

negotiable if purchased with engine

Oh im located in Tasmania

I would love to make an offer on the lot, but i just spent $2000 grand on a pushie, im now back into mountainbike riding. Now i think i would have had more fun in my car if i spent the money on that, so im really pissed off. plus i live in SA, so i couldnt really get it anyway.

Keep us up to date with the conversion, im thinking of doing the same when i have some cash.

Hehe the old pushy!!! what did you get?

Ive had my days of mountainbikes i spent way too much on a Giant ATX 890 a few years back and ended up selling it for a measly $800 bucks (big loss)

got a guy local thats interested in buying it, doesn't know what to offer and i really don't know what to take

if you had the dosh what would you offer?

  • 2 weeks later...

I got an Avanti Manic, then got disc brakes put on, its sweet.

Im not sure what i would offer. R32 RB20DET Manual halfcuts are between $2000-$2500, so i spose sonmething under $2000?

Really i have no idea. Best bet would be someone with a 240-260z or something, they might have more trouble complying a turbo motor, yours would be better for them, simple swap, no complience issues. Maybe try one of the datsun sites, i think ozdat might have a classifieds section. good luck.

    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
    • According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.
    • Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?
    • The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.
    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
