mutiny Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 How hard is to rebuild the 23? Even to pull it apart and check.. price of the gasket set is more than the sr ive been offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutiny Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have read the comments and would love to see this retain the L series engine. I like both the SR and the RB but fitting one of these engines is like putting 17 chromes on an escort. This is only my thoughts and I wasnt going to say any thing but did nd now its posted. The L23 looks so cool. guess its like putting a 4age in a 120y huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja1lb8 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 theres a chap in aussie doing a vh41 i think it is, hes cutting up inner guards etc, i dont want to do this, the lack of power in the sr20 really doesnt bother me. its just gonna be a cruiser, super low and super slow Used to own this car when i lived in brisbane, sold it to mate whos doing the conversion on it, pitty you couldnt get in sooner cause the L23 out of this was a minta, guy who i got it off gave it a full rebuild with hardened valve seats as well so ran really well on 91, was my daily for a couple of years because ?? Haha, have an rb30 in my super six i have now and can garentee that ive never owned a flat peak hat, goes alright too Used to have a l26 in it, from memory someone had given the sump a but of hammer action to clear the cross member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutiny Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 would need a real big hit with hammer, ump sits on cross member with 15mm still to go . i was gonna cut mine up and make it fit but cant be fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustywhip Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Have you thought of a 1jz? there was a n/a vvt engine and box on trademe for $450. Least that keeps it as a 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingLing Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I think Mutiny already made up his mind on his engine plan. although we all want 6 cylinders, but it is his car and what ever makes him happy. I would say go ahead. Would love to see this thing get finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 NA RB25DE would be pretty cool, but an SR will suffice. Should get a 20VE for something random! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJZ Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Sorry for shitting up your thread man. Anyway, back to the car. That front crossmember looks massively large, I'm assuming the L23 had a front bowl sump? You might end up with the motor interfering with the crossmember or the drag link by the looks of it?

CUL8R Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thats pretty gay indeed man, I take it the sump and pickups werent interchangeable then? Sr20 should at least make it turn key reliable, and lets be honest, go just as well at the L series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 i imagine with this amount of time passed, hes already accepted or turned down the offer of the sr20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
