nedloh312 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi all, I am in dire need of a new engine, I would prefer something that already has some work to it but i need it asap so will buy the first decent engine that comes along (considering it's a reasonable price) lolz Please stay on topic unlike other times i ask for help about the car in relation to it's previous owner. It's not wanted nor is it needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr240z Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Whats your price range...And why not build your own motor the way you want it. What happened to your motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedloh312 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 I need a car? I will be keeping my current one and rebuilding it but i need something to get around in, we don't have public transport where i live and im 20 min drive from work (Highway drive) I don't know what's wrong but it's dead. We are trying to figure out what happened but it's screwed (No it wasn't my fault ) And I don't really have a price range, i don't know what they are worth....

S30Mike Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Dude you need to do some trouble shooting first. Im sure the engines integrity is fine, sounds like something has come loose, or debris of some sort is in the works. Just need to get someone to look at it. What a shit thing to happen i know.

nedloh312 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I know, i think that's the best thing to do... It's an l24... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalium Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Have you been to any wreckers? 4 or so years ago I never had any trouble finding L28s at wreckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedloh312 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 I called a few and no one has one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB30X Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I know you arn't in QLD but for a price example I just sold my L28 that was running in my car for $400. Just the long motor, no gearbox, carbs, manifolds, starter, pulleys etc. They seem to be rare up here too when you actually want one.

C.A.R. Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Where does it say it's a 'race engine' Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedloh312 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well, it's been worked a bit and i don't want anything that's been worked so i would classify it as a 'racey engine' in my stupidity But seriously, i don't want anything that is too powerful... An L28 stock has more than enough power for me Don't wanna be dying anytime soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr240z Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 They only go as fast as you push that pedal.. Sounds like a good buy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dat2kman Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Nah not really a racey one, just warmed over a bit. The ones I use in the race car are a little more developed!! This ones just a spare out of a road car that I used to own. Guy bought it, and did a rb25 conversion ( silly guy!!) and sold me the L28 complete If only I could work out how to post pics real easy without using some imagehost site, I can put pics up of the car. Guy now wants to sell it, along with a 1968 Fairlady Z with a L20A motor ( it cant be called a 240Z!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an l24... Aside from the fact that I'm highly confused about what you are actually looking for, if you are planning to rebuild the original engine from the car, and have a warm? L24 which you've as far as I understand already bought, why the hell not put the L24 in so that you can use the car, and get your old engine apart for reco? A warmed up L24 should have plenty of grunt for getting you around while you rebuild your original L28..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedloh312 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I no longer own the L24... I don't think i can afford to spend 1k on an engine either. I will be rebuilding the engine but not anytime soon, only when i can afford it... I also have the ability to borrow a car until i fix mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke_mcmahon85 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Maybe make another topic.... haha, yeah guys, keep it on topic... it will take everyone's combined concentration to find an l28 thats had some work done to it BUT is not too powerful... but more than an l24. sorry dude, i don't mean to be too picky, but you do seem to be a bit all over the place, if a stock l28 has 'more than enough power' for you, you really would be best picking up a cheap l24E from an R30 and putting it in. Then you can wait for a cheap l28 to come up, or rebuild your old one, or just decide your happy with the l24. You also have the option of going FI for kicks, or keeping the carbs If you're using it just for commuting, you really won't find much of a difference between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
