Geordie,
The series three Bluebird wagon I just bought has the original CA cross
member and uses the 200SX right side engine mount for the SR20. It has had
a special front stabiliser made up. I think I like your Skyline fix better.
Simpler and cheaper.
Cheers
Feral Errol

I have a series 2 bluebird and I'm currently installing an SR20 turbo after
the L20 spat oil & coolant all over the engine bay when it blew the head
gasket, cracked the block, shat it'self...
Quick fix import motor for the S2 bluebird is a Z18t, it's almost a bolt-in
swap...
If you wanna put in a SR20, then you gotta change the cross-member under
the
engine, the sway bar, the tailshaft, etc etc... I've already done most of
this, just sorting out some ignition problems at the moment, then I'm off
to
the plumbers to get some 3" tubes to hang off the turbo and out the back...
Not a cheap conversion, I've already spent nearly $4000... On a $1500
car!!!! Yikes!

Hey Chris,
The series II Bluebird was released in 1983 (I think!) and came
factory with a Bosch reluctor type electronic distributor with built in
auto
dwel 016 type coil ignitor. Basically it made a noticable difference
through
out the rev range....especially low end torque. I paid around $120 for it
about 6 years ago but I made sure I got the original coil with it. (very
important since it looks just like a standard points type coil) As far as
the cam is concerned, I can't quite remember its specs, but yes, it was a
slightly bigger cam with more lift. As far as tuning was concerned, the
webber 32/36 was a mongrel of a carbie as far as remembering what you
taught
it! It would run perfectly one day, and like a dog on another. I could rev
it to around 5500 with the webber before fuel delivery became an issue. The
engine is the original unit and has done around 285000 kms, due for rest
soon though. I think I may go for an L20...but I'll have to think about it
since there are really so many import engine options open to datto owners
these days.
George
