Hey Guys!

Its time for a upgrade in my white sedan. L28 + 5 speed grin.gif

The L24 and auto in my white sedan has finally kicked it in.

So i got a l28 out of a patrol to put in it.

Now i need to change the sump and oil pick up to the l24 ones, but what do i do about the dipstick hole? just drill a new hole in the block?

Does anyone know if i can use the patrol clutch on a rwd gearbox?

Part numbers are different.

What gearbox can i use, im guessing c110/c210 ones are the same, but r30 ones are shorter? how about bluebird ones?

Gordie, I've got the L28 in mine. I have a tube/sleeve welded onto the side of my sump that is partly inserted into the sump. Works fine. Can put up a pic up if you want. You will need to extend the oil pickup to suit the oil basin, also not to hard.

As for gearboxes, the 2 mentioned are fine and any Z box will probably work.

Hey Gordie,

This is what they did to my F54 block re the dipstick. You can drill the block as it will look more original, as there is a flat that is where it goes. It's not an easy drill out, but still possible, as a few here have done it. If your going to drill the block, you have to be sure to blank off the rear oil pick up gallery just to be sure.

Cheers, D

As for the clutch, I'm not sure, but doesn't the Patrol clutch operate in the opposite direction as our L24 clutches do. I think your best served buying NEW clutches, as opposed to using secondhand, purely for the work effort needed to get them out once in the car. For a lousy couple of hundred dollars you can get a very good clutch, just make sure it's the right diameter. 225mm is the common for L24 & L28, but a 240mm option is available if you have the flywheel to match.

Patrols are a push type clutch too. the one on the motor is only 1000k's old so would like to use it if possible. if not il just get a new one.

only differance in the clutch kit part numbers are in the pressure plate.

Got a better pic of where the dipstick goes though the block?

Forgot to mention the L28 oil pickup point is in a different position. When the L24 forward mounted oil reservoir sump is attached to the L28, it's to short as the L28 has a midway oil reservoir. It's no big hurdle.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
