If you didn't already have it I wouldn't buy it to start with . Better I think to have a Japanese made Nissan if you like the brand . VLs are old an thin on the ground now and I reckon the only reason you'd get an RB powered Dore is if you really like live axles . You get so much more out of R series Skylines for the money and the end result tends to be better . If I wasn't carting people around I'd look for an R32 with the RB25DE in it , I think it was called 25GT or similar .

R200 IRS , four piston brakes fall in , huge choice of wheels . Upgrades galore and heaps of spares around reasonably cheap .

Your call , A .

Just to clarify; you keep saying DE and DET, which means twin cam. The D is for Double overhead cam. A twin cam RB30 is a custom made thing, not found in any STOCK cars.

I'll assume you have a VL Turbo because you haven't actually told us what you have..

If you have a VLT with the factory motor (RB30ET), you can drop in an NA or R31 RB30E and legally drive around. This is legal because the car was available with that option.

If you have something that did not come with an RB30 from stock it will be illegal to put one in and drive it on your Ps.

Its been said before but it is definitely going to be easier to sell the turbo car as it is, or put it away for now, and buy a decent P plate mobile to see you through. 100% easier, less heartache, and you won't devalue the car you own now.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
