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

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.

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
