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

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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
