theres a RB26 in a VU ute getting around too... pretty sh1t conversion IMO. A turbo Gen 3 would be heaps more fun on the street.

What a waste of money the vt engines are way better only put RB30 if u thinking of a turbo

Yeah, I'd only do it if you were going to turbo it, is that the case?
An RB30 has sh*t all power in a VL, and a VT is much heavier.

The first post states it will be a drag/drift car so I'd say it will be turbo

It would be a made drift car if u have two massive garrets
Get the v6 bottom End as it should bolt straight on
Are you serious? Please tell me how you bolt a Nissan head onto a Buick bottom end?
