L20 Parts Needed Urgently!

[dwayne293]

Hi everyone,

My L20ET has recently expired and I am trying to rebuild it but cannot find anywhere selling parts for it....

I am after a set of rings, possibly a piston, and a head gasket, maybe big ends, mains, etc etc.

Does anyone know where I can find these parts, in Adelaide? I have seen a PNV R30 for sale on here a while back which had just been rebuilt so some place must sell these parts?

She's gonna be a beast when i put it back together though ;-)

Thanks in advance

Dwayne

Tried Datsport??? Apart from that, try the regular nissan/datsun workshops, and or have you tried nissan direct?????

Big ends, etc will probably be the same as other L6 engines - measurement with the crank out will tell the story. Most of the gaskets will also be the same. Head gasket won't be because of the bore size and pistons/rings won't be readily available, I would think.

If you get stuck, give me your VIN number and I can identify the genuine PN's for the parts you need and then you can approach your Nissan dealer to get the parts from Japan (be sitting down tho when he tells you the price...)

its not to hard to get parts, the berrings are the same as most other L6's

a gasket set is easy to get as one for a l20a is a direct fit onto a l20et. (currently running that one mine right now 1 year so far)

It might be easy to get in New Zealand where these types of engines are more common, but the same is not the case in Oz I'm afraid. Why don't you post details of suppliers in NZ so that he can enquire about importing what he needs from there ?? Probably still be cheaper than buying genuine from Nissan over here.

Thanks for the replies guys...

I was a bit worried about going straight to nissan as I don't want to take out a mortgage to rebuild my engine but there aren't too many other options. I may have a replacement engine lined up anyway but would still like to rebuild mine, even if it is as a spare

But yeah, part numbers or any contacts would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Might want to have a talk with Bill over here at Australian Precision Engine Parts - 03 9887 1299 - for pistons and rings, maybe bearings.
