Know a few people that have vk- vl dunnydores and put RB25DET into them, they go like all hell, but seem to become a bore after a while, cos they are good for one thing, BURNOUTS.

but at the end of the day, a dunnydore running any other engine is still only a dunnydore.

Why the hell would anyone want to put a RB20 into a dunny, they rev harder, but produce no where near the same power or torque as a RB25DET... so i guess that is where my answer lays.

Tell him to buy a skyline.

grow up would ya?

each to their own, perhaps they like the shape of vk's, vl's etc

perhaps they dont like the shape of skylines?

gee's

its something different, good on anyone who wants to build a project car.

"each to their own" i clearly stated it was a bias opinion, i wasnt trying to give him shit

Nothing against people that want to do a project car, but what has been posted that he wants to do.. that sounds a little bit stupid.

I would say to look out for a good RB30 turbo block and track down a good RB25DET head, and go a little hybrid, they seem to be a little better in the commodores.

I only suggested a Skyline cos that is what the engine that he was looking at already has from standard.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
