A good score?

[kyteler]

I may have just managed to weasel myself a decent deal, let me know what you guys think.

1. EFI setup ECU inclusive from an L20E.

2. Dizzy, Module and Coil.

3. 5Speed box and other associated manual bit from same R30 Skyline

This will be to convert my 240K Single 2BBL Carb Auto into a 240K with EFI, 5speed w/ leccy dizzy, thus making an L24E.

All for the lovely price of $120NZD ($70USD & $100AUD) with the provision that I drive 416km's and help the guy remove them from the car.

Is it worth the drive?

Oh yeah, then I have to drive back 416km, so make that a 832km drive.

go for it:classic:

You'll love EFI if you can get it to work properly...

Sounds like a nice weekend :classic:

[kyteler]

Yeah EFI would (will?) be great but to be completely honest I'm more excited about my baby being a 5 speed, I jumped into my VK (which I still haven't sold yet, 3.3L 5spd w/ 350 Holley if anyone's interested ) to do something the other day, and was enthralled and disappointed at the same time, knowing the Skyline was still an auto, but if all goes well... I'll be able to leave some 205 wide black lines down the road. we'll see though, I have to see whether my brother wants to do the trip because I don't want to risk taking the Skyline at the moment and the VK goes through more gas than a V8.

Well, just thought I'd let you guys know, I got back from my voyage lastnight.

The EFI was a bastard to get off and time was running short so I didn't end up getting it, however, the guy who has the car is going to get it off for me and then send it down.

I got the 5 Speed, but it doesn't seem to have any identifying numbers on it, does anyone know what part number the box on an HR30 L20E is?? I also grabbed the front section of driveshaft, as chances are I'll need this as it's a different length to an auto one, is that correct??

Also, the head on it was a Y70? or something like that. Does that make sense to anyone and/or can anyone tell me if it's a decent head.

I grabbed the computer and such for when I do get the EFI, I've also got the Airbox and the crazy aftermarket filter that was on it.

I also grabbed the seatbelt extender things (the things that bolt to the roof and make the point where the belt folds lower), as the seatbelts in the C110 cut across my neck and with these added that should fix that problem.

The guy also gave me a Wheels magazine with a review incl. performance numbers on the 240KGT, the cover states, "Japan's first real GT" it has some interesting numbers in there, (I'm sure you'll be interested Alfadog, I'll scan it and post it later if you're keen to see.)

I got a spare viscous fan even though I'll probably convert it to an electrical fan at some stage in any case.

My brother grabbed the clock because he likes the old 80's digital clocks and he also grabbed the Valve cover, I thought it was ugly so wasn't interested, it has Nissan in huge chunky bold lettering and covers almost half of the length of the cover.

But if anyone can tell me anything about the head (Y70 I think) or part numbers for the tranny, I'll be most appreciative and may be inclined to thank them. :classic:

OH! and that's another thing, the dizzy wasn't what I expected it's a fully enclosed thing that plugs into the loom and the cap is screwed on and not clipped, so I'm guessing I'll have to have that whole setup on in order for it to be of any use to me, is that right?? Got the coil as well.

All this for the loverly price of $100NZD, he asked $80 but he was a nice guy and I didn't want to feel like I was ripping him off even though I still do a tad, but I'm poor so that's all I could manage.

Yep, I get teh same problem! Sucks to be short... Make sure you take some pics as I'm curious to know what exactly it looks like.

Ah, I think I have that magazine... tis a pretty good article and gives the K a very nice wrap up! :classic: be sure to scan it though as I'm sure some others might be interested...

Good stuff, people like you are why the human race hasn't destroyed itself just yet...

Good luck with the EFI swap!

[kyteler]

Short? Who's short? I'm 6ft and they cut into my neck, my brother's about 5'9"/5'10" and he finds them extra annoying.

I'll take some pics of all the bits I got and post them tomorrow.

[Alfadog]

Then you could imagine what they're like for a 168cm boy like me :stupid: :mad:

[kyteler]

Here's a pic of the seatbelt extender things for you to have a squiz at Alfadog. I haven't driven anywhere with them on yet, but just sitting in the car they're a billion times better than the belt cutting into your neck, I seriously recommend getting some.

[kyteler]

And here's a shot from the outside

[Alfadog]

Interesting... probably a lot easier to find the seat buckle too :dead:

Thanks for hte pics... I should probably find some seat covers too. Hmm.

[kyteler]

I'm happy for the time being, they need a bit of a clean up I actually got the entire belt unit including retractor and clips, I didn't really want to get rid of my old ones but the benefit of the belt not decapitating you in a car crash is probably greater than my grief for my old clips.

The plan was to get some R32 ones as they're black and alot tidier in appearance but these were there so they'll do for now.

You'll have to excuse my grandpa car seat covers:classic:, they were with the car when I got it, I had them removed for a while but there's a few tears in the vinyl and I didn't want to make them worse, I'll eventually get the seats redone completely.
