VL's have the RB30E engine or the RB20E engine. An easy way to tell the difference is to look at the throttle cable, in the 30's the cable comes right around the head and the 20's cable comes over top the plenum chamber. As for your question, i'd say the gearboxes do bolt up however im not entirely certain. i think the Rb20E 5th gear is of a differnent or shorter ratio aswell?

y dont u all just help the poor bloke out and answer his question

yes it will fit!!! i converted my mates auto rb20det cefiro last weekend and used the rb20e gearbox as it was spare from another cefiro we have that now has an sr20det in it

only NZ VLs had the rb20e as they had 1989 models, VLs stopped production in australia in 1988, so they got the leftovers

the R33 and cefiro also had the rb20e which weighed more than the VL, now that is useless, it would be sooo slow

hope this helps

cheers

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
