Body resto and what ever needs done to be done then will see if i build another motor but add a few goodies in side

and bolt on s will see what turns up no rush as i think it's a good buy doesn't owe me a fortune so spending some on

it no an issue.Finding the parts will be.

congratulations mate hope you're happy with the purchase and if you need anything just give us a ring...

looking forward to some updates trickling through soon :blink:

Hey Mate

Yeah real happy really nice car will be going in the shed and spend a few bob on the body as we spoke about

then see what i can do to screw some more Hp out of it but keeping it as it looks ie: cam rods head turbo ecu

etc etc, all in good time though.

get in contact with 'stagefumer' who is one of the users on here

He wringed 130kW out of his L20et, he used VG30et injectors and turbo, exhaust and a few other bits from memory.

Seeing as you are in melbourne, I suggest getting in contact with Status Tuning in Dandynong or some other NISTUNE professional tuner, they will highly likely be able to rig up a RB30e ECU to replace the L20et one.

The RB ecu can be re-tuned on the dyno/laptop/ air fuel guage combo,

the flap style AFM can be replaced with the RB30e unit too.

the L20et cant be re-tuned itself as no-one really has hacked it, as its too many hours needed and just easier to get a later model ECCS unit.

the 300zxt (Z32) ECU is also a good one, has better resolution,

A mate had his RB30e turboed with just ebay bolt ons, and had his ECU chipped from a fella in Adelaide, 'darkhalf'... anyway his dyno run as stockish RB30e netted 102kW at the rears, then with turbo gear, and the chipped ecu... 210kW at the wheels. that was an 8 hour install. Was a ripper of a day, drove in at 6am, drove out sideways thet evening

Thanks for the info will file it away for future reference i need to get some front panels first though do the body so any help on panels for one of these would

be appreciated.

Hi,

Post up a list of what you're looking for. There are some R30's at a local pick-a-part. (Best one disappeared recently - hate to think what happened to it). I can do some scouting (with camera) if you like.

I am wrecking a 4 door hatchback currently. Shipping will be a killer though.

front panels are spoken for, basically all that is of use to you is the front stone tray and the doors?

So how are the 'bit' for me coming along, or have you forgotten ?

Why would you bother with an L20ET?

Just bung in an L28E and associated turbo gear (yank ebay would be your friend for stuff like L28ET manifold and injectors, afm, ecu etc). Will end up about 1,000,000,000,000x better off than modding the L20. Simple maths, 40% more capacity is going to make a massive difference.

paint and panel would be foremost but a simple turbo upgrade to a VG30 and a decent intercooler would see a 30kw gain or 130kw easily. And cheap too

i would have bought it just for that rear garnish for the boot lid!

yeah you don't find them anymore and the aussie delivered one ain't the same... i did see a wrecked one in QLD years back that had the same boot trim and it was still good but yeah, years ago

And LAG out your ass on an L20A engine.

Me for one, likes response from the loud pedal and therefore bigger turbo's on a little and very badly designed motor is not a plus in my opinion.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
