Hi All,

the other night i bought a VL rolling shell, has everything but the eng+g/box,

it has everything ready for a V8 so it will be over kill for the straight 6 im putting in it.

There is no rust or chassis damage, its my Gf's uncles and he needs the shed space so he said $300 and its mine.. DONE!

someone told me today that there is a difference between a VL chassis for the in6 and V8; is that true?

koz my plan was to either put the full RB30ET in it or go for the RB30 head and RB25 block?

Whats everyone's opinions?

Its going to be a track car for drift bigg4rin.gif

cant wait to get it started.

For a start the K-frame is different, the battery tray is on the opposite side and the fuel tank/lines need to be modded/replaced for fuel injection. If you are serious about this try the calaisturbo forum http://www.calaisturbo.com.au as it has a ton of information regarding all sorts of VL stuff. BTW I am guessing the hybrid was a typo surely you mean RB30 block with 25 head.

Edited by *LOACH*

yeah as above, really hoping you made a type with the engine and mean rb30 block with rb25 head.

why not just simply drop a rb25det into it? will make stacks more power than just a rb30et will (unless it has serious amounts of work)

No worries. Personally if I was going to convert a V8 VL into an injected track machine I would just spend the bit extra and get an LS1...heaps of torque for spinning the tyres and lighter than an RB. Later on you can turbo the LS1 and get 400rwkw without doing any bottom end work. Once again check the calaisturbo forum if you are interested in the LS1 conversion into VLs. K frames occasionally come up on Ebay or post on some forums to see if someone wants to swap your 8 for a 6....you might get some interest.

bit far out of my price range at the moment =]

thanks anyway.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
