Not an S30 owner.

[DOOM]

Hey guys I'm from Adelaide,

I don't own a S30 always wanted but instead I bought something even less common for my first car .

 

A GC210 Skyline!

 

Don't worry I wont crap up your forums with my unrelated Skyline crap, I'm mainly lurking here looking out for an L28 and manual transmisson. I currently have a pathetic L24 + 3sp auto to boot.

Stay awhile and listen! there is plenty of useful information in here even for you!

Welcome..

You may find an issue fitting a L28 from a 280ZX in the Skyline; sumps are in a different location. Block will have to have oil galleries drilled and others blocked etc...

Yes........

But there are a hundred forums designated to Skylines!

 

As Dimitri said, blocks and sumps are different due to oil gallerie and pick up positions.

Agreed the pickup is an issue but the sump can be solved by keeping the one off the current motor.

[zzzzed]

sounds like it might be just as easy to put an rb25 in it

 

[d3c0y]

Or just get an L28 out of a Patrol?

Yeah, theres loads of Skyline forums just not many for the classics with a large or frequent population.

 

I've heard about the sump issues, I read that i can extend the sump/oil pickup? instead of redrilling and possibly mucking it up. I'll worry it aobut it in the future for now I got rust issues.

 

If anything I'd stick round here to see what I can apply to my Skyline, this place is a great community for thime that I've been lurking.

 

I have a freind here who is looking for a Z CooperJS.

 

One day I hope to be rocking an engine built by PeterMC, I like to dream too.

Deckard Cain much?

The oil pickup can extended without issue. The dipstick hole will need to be re-drilled, or done away with. A stock L28E is worth about 15% more power at the treads than a stock L24E, FWIW.

When I get stuck ill come running but that wont be for a while.

[pauly_adams]

you can put a rb20det in with out much issues, just use rb20 main engine mounts and use the rubber mounts from a jag, if you use the stock rb20det gearbox and a auto mount from a L24-28 auto gearbox you don't even need to change your tail shaft it all just bolts in with no modification.

Welcome

 

I can't remember the last time I saw on these on the road. I have always liked these and can't understand why you don't see more of them running around.

So some updates since that post.

The manual conversion was completed, using a 280ZX box (with 120y shifter), 225mm flywheel, Datsport providing Nissan Urvan Clutch and master/slave cylinders. this took two weeks in October

Hover mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many thanks to the oldman for helping.

 

L28E has been purchased to be rebuilt by me.
