I need part numbers/ info/ anything remotely related to piston rings and head gasket for the L20ET. Seriously I have been searching for this sh*t for a couple of months now it is driving me insane....

Is the L20ET the same as L20A as in bore x stroke, etc..???

Surely somebody has rebuilt one of these in the past?

Thanks in advance I really need help here my baby has been off the road too long

Bore and stroke will be the same.

According to FAST the head gasket for L20ET has the PN:

11044-R1005

PN for rings depend on whether they are stock or OS.

Best to give me the VIN of your car from the firewall data plate. PM if you prefer not to post here.

There are some Nissan dealers around who will go the extra mile and help get oddball parts in from Japan. But why not look at upgrading to a locally available, larger capacity L series six while you are rebuilding? That's what I'll be doing. Shouldn't require much (if any) mods to the engine management or fuel system if you just go with an L24.

There is one currently on trademe.

I know of 6 in NZ, but the freight here is a killer unless it comes surface mail and in 6 - 8 weeks.

I can't understand that when I reckon I could swim there in less time and ships come here in 4 days, yet the mail takes 50+ days.

I would prefer one in Oz thanks.

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
