Hi everyone,

Just be aware that someone called Connor Watson is selling FJ24 engine 274 on Kijiji.
This engine is sat in my garage.

I posted the engine for sale on rally24 some time ago and he has got hold of the photos.
He is utterly bogus and is out to rip someone off.

Please spread the word. The sooner weasels like him get the message the better for all of us.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT FJ24 ENGINES WERE NUMBERED BEYOND 200.
I AM INTERESTED TO BUY YOU ENGINE ,IF NOT ALREADY SOLD.

CAN YOU FURNISH SOME PHOTOS OF IT AND DETAILS OF ITS CONDITION AND ANY UPGRADES IT HAS FROM THE STD FJ24 SPECS.

MY E.MAIL IS j.savvas@bic.com.bh

thanks

Hi,

I've decided to use this engine in my rally but I do have another one. It was used in an Opel Ascona in Northern Ireland for some years. I haven't had a good look at it but the I did change the sump (it had a proper NISMO alloy one on it, that I wanted for the other engine). The rods are polished and therefore can assume it has been balanced correctly. It has 76 deg cams but not the big valve head. It is also dry sumped. I will post photos to you once I unearth it from all the clobber in my garage.

So you know - the last evolution varients of the FJ24 were numbered into the 500s.

thanks Tom,

i think you are right
i did had a evo engine with a number above 200 but i thought that it was restamped, for some reason. It was on the s110 fastback 180sx white car which was
sold in UK from CYPRUS, with the whale wing inthe back.

Let me have some pictures.

Hi,

I now have your old car - keen to find out details of its origins. Where did all the 240RS parts come from?

Tom

HI TOM,

THAT CAR HAS A HISTORY,SLIGHTLY ILLEGAL BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER BEFORE ME.
HAVE THE WHOLE HISTORY IN MY MIND.I REGRETED SELLING THAT CAR AS I HAD JUST REBUILTED THE ENGINE AND DIFF 1 MONTH BEFORE ,I MOVED TO BAHRAIN AND HAD NO COVERED GARAGE TO LEAVE IT.

DONE 47 EVENTS WITH IT OVER 5 YEARS AND WON LAST AUTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP WITH IT , BEFORE I REBUILTED IT.

FRONT STRUTS WITH RESERVOIRS MY DESIGN AND BUILT 2 SPRING COMPOSITE ,NOT NISMO,RIDES POTHOLES AS IF YOU ARE ON TARMAC, AND REAR EXTENDED TARRETS DONE BY ME WITH THE EXTRA
LONG TRAVEL SHOCKS, IF ARE STILL THERE.

IT SHOULD HAVE THE LATEST 6 HOLE QUAIFE STRAIGHT CUT /DOG BOX IN IT.
IS IT THERE?IS THE SAFETY ATL 20 LITRE FUEL CELL STILL IN IT AS WELL
THE SPARCO ACROPOLIS SEAT AND THE 3 INCH WIDE BELTS?

E-MAIL ME WITH LOTS OF PICTURES TO FILL THE GAPS FOR YOU.
