Alright i am selling my RARE 83' Nissan Skyline DR30 RS-X Intercooled FJ20ET. The engine is ready for a US s12, the tranny bolts up but the engine mounts you have to fabricate the stock s12 ones. The engine comes with alot of extras and i am asking for everything is $2500 firm.
There is one pic of the engine in my car one thing that the engine is missing is the coil and ignitor but other then that everything else is there.
is that the one you got from ebay?
your not selling because of the lack of the coil are you?
i know there's some a-holes on the fj site you were on, but thats no reason to give up!
none of the service manuals list the hook up of the coils very well for the fj anyway. if you can source one i can check the wiring against mine...
Well for the past month or so i have looking for the ignition transistor and had no luck so i figured if it is so hard to get that part imagine how hard it will be to find any other parts if something goes wrong. If i find the part i need then i will run the fj but if not i am going to buy a s14 sr20det. I wish i lived in Japan so i wouldnt have to worry about things like this, but thanks for the help. Im kind of thinking of keeping it because it is already in the car and is ready to run :confused: , but we'll see what happens, peace.
I thought the Skyline FJ20ETs had an intake manifold that stuck out farther than the S12 ones and it would hit the inner fender in the engine bay...

Dr30 skyline with the fj20et was an "RS2000", (I saw a couple when I lived in Japan). The s12 silvia/gazelle with the fj20et was an "RS-X". They probably made a mistake in the descreiption, I'd say you have an fj20et from an s12 silvia/gazelle RS-X.
Actually I just checked your pic again and I think it does have the skyline inlet manifold and valve cover. Your car is LHD so the brake master is in the opposite position to a rhd s12,(the R30 skyline manifold can't clear the brake master from memory in a RHD s12), so yeah it probably is from a DR30 skyline RS2000.

Okay fair enough. The two cars I saw were both the 2 tone red and black coupes and had rs2000 stickers on the side or something.
i owned a dr30 fj20et 2000RS. 1983 model.
the rs-x dr30 was the later intercooled model of the dr30.
the rs-x s12 was put on all the fj20et cars.
your motor is a dr30 engine, from a non intercooled car, so id say its a 2000RS motor.
FantasyI have personally owned a DR30 RS-X.

@^*FeNdERbeNdeR*^@I have that magazine!
That car looked like it was brand new from the photos....
You do not have to use the stock electronics. There is one affordable stand-alone EMS that will solve all your needs: megasuirt! MS1 with MSnS+E firmware will work (knock sensor ign. retard support), unless they have the new firmware for the MS2 system ready (MS2 last time I looked only allowed you to watch, but not use the knock sensor signal). You can use MS1 and then upgrade the ECU board to MS2 later.

I've some questions by this picture
I've a LHD S12 with the FJ20E-engine and I bought an FJ20ET-engine from a I think a Japanese S12 RSX.
I'm wondering if the FJ20ET exhaustmanifold / turbo will hit the steering-rack because the Japanese S12 are RHD and my S12 is LHD!?
When I see this picture, I see an LHD S12?!?! with the FJ20ET-engine. The turbo is top-mounted, because of more power? or because the original mounted turbo, underneed the exhaust-manifold hit the steering-rack?
Anyone an idea what exhaust manifold this is?
I'll post some pictures of the FJ20ET soon. I'm planning to start the swap in July!
Cheers,
Kevin
This shop Garage Works did the swap and they used the stock manifold using a custom J pipe to make it a top mount and so the steering rack is not in the way.

Thank you!! Time for us to make some flanges for the J-pipe! cool.gif
What intercooler did you used? And can you send me some pictures of it?
We did a quick look for the FMIC options, but the headlights seemed to be a problem. So it will be the Volvo/Saab FMIC set up, to move the radiator a little bit backwords. Or maybe the Supra Intercooler on the front, but first we've to look if there's enough room for the piping.
Next week we'll start the project FJ20ET-swap and of course we'll get the members here up to date! smile.gif

Thanks!! Last weekend we disassembled the turbo!
Can someone tell me if the FJ20ET clutch matches FJ20E
I have found heavy duty FJ20ET clutch and they give it as 240 mm but the FJ20E is 225 mm....is there also difference in the flywheel ??
I would like an FJ20ET for my s12 exept I have learned to stay away from j-hot and I would probably not give you anywhere near 2500 since it would have no warranty
Looks like you had some coolant fun splashing fun lol
As for pricing...I thought it was a little steep when it's incomplete as well with no guarantee/warranty. Good luck with your sale though.
This post is about 2 years old. It is in the wrong place to start with. I'm just gonna close it down for now and move it since there is no need for continuation of any discussion on this.
