Hello guys!!
Haven't been on here for a while but I was looking at doing the above mentioned conversion. I did come across the other thread concerning this conversion but was hoping someone else would have some more info. I do have some KA24DE specific questions now that I need some answers to. BTW here is my current thread at R31 Skyline Club forum for this topic:
http://forum.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=64635.0So I have found out the following
1) With a bit of modification I could use a U13 KA24DE (want to because a U13 engine is the cheapest way to get a hold of a KA24DE)
2) An RB30 gearbox will fit onto a KA24DE (They use the RB30 gearboxes in USDM 240SX) (yay!! no custom x-member needed)
3) I need to move the dizzy forward. I also need to get a custom intake manifold and throttle body made up as the U13 will have it pointing the wrong way in RWD config.
Now my questions are as follows:
1) Can I move the dizzy on the KA further towards the front? I need to do this as otherwise in RWD config the dizzy is right against the firewall. It looks like you can as the 240SX has the dizzy at the front of the engine bay mounted on the side of the engine, just not sure if it is possible with the Aus FWD model.
I have other questions and will post them as I remember them.
Cheers!!
James
PS: Anyone got an R31 Pintara for sale (rolling shell is OK as engine is going to be ripped out anyway)?
Or a U13 KA24DE? Or an RB30 gearbox?
