I have owned both.

VN.....harsh motor..last forever.

VL...sweet motor...need to look at some repair work..ie head gaskets..etc.

Paint work on the VL is a lot better.

Most VN's have bad fade marks on DUCO.

Series 2 VN are not bad....series 1 has water coolant issues.

GO VP ....VN was the first and the worst....

VL was last of the series...this is why they are more sort after.

Just my thoughts......

GO VL.......at least they still turn heads.

i own a VL, i know a few people that owns VN's, get the VL. the only time i wouldn't recomend a VL for a daily is if its a turbo that you are modifying also.

VLT+mods=more time off the road than on it, literally....

VN will get you less attention than the (in)famous VL, and a VN has waaaay more room in it. Plus the interior is... 'good' isnt the right word, better than the VL thats for sure. Plus you can leave a VN anywhere and not have to worry about it because frankly, who cares? its a VN

The VL dash can be quite a lot of fun if you pick up a problem child... and good luck getting the air con to work

Had a VN 1988 v6 manual(good fun tank slapper). Did the job, tip though, make sure coolant hoses and heater hoses are replaced!

If you had less than half a tank going around a round about motor would die for a sec cos the tank has no baffles, the little things!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
