jesus, if VL boxes are more expensive than RB25 boxes, why would anyone bother? more syncros in an RB25 box,

both boxes need the yolk to suit therefore custom tailshaft also,

as for bolting up, yes, they both bolt up to the engine the same.

have a search on this site, will be covered lots of times and give you a wealth of knowledge

Almost but not quit, the VL turbo has a slightly diffrent bellhousing dew to the starter motor, it's

to do with the starter motor's bottom bolt being about 5mm further out, this is why True VL Turbo's

have a diffrent starter motor and also a diffrent engine sandwhich plate, and the VL flywheel has a

colar around the back of the ring gear, and the starter motor has no snout on it...

If your ever in Moonah drop into Moonah Auto Part's and i can show you the diffrence..

Cheers Jon

glad i said bolt to the engine the same then..

its not a big deal if you have all the parts, anything is going to require $$$ and a few mods

Ive done the rb25det box conversion and it was about a 1 hour job if you have the parts.....and a hoist.

Ive also got an rb26dett R32 gearbox with the yolk if your interested. Tougher again than the 25det box.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
