As Steve mentioned earlier, VL's were the only car to have rb30et's Holden purchased the rights for the engine, which is why you dont see it factory fitted in any other cars.

Nissan Special Vehicles Division Australia produced two limited models of R31 Skylines, the GTS1 and GTS2. These contained slightly more powerful RB30E engines, containing longer opening duration cams and better flowing exhausts. GTS1 RB30E - injected single-cam (130 kW @ 5500 rpm, 255 Nm (26.0 kgf�m) @ 3500 rpm) - special cam profile, special exhaust[6] GTS2 RB30E - injected single-cam (140 kW @ 5600 rpm, 270 N�m (27.5 kgf�m) @ 4400 rpm) - special cam profile, special exhaust, piggy back computer, valve porting[7] [edit] RB30DE These rare engines were used in the Tommy Kaira M30 based on the R31 Skyline GTS-R. A modified RB20DE head was bolted on to the RB30E block. It delivered 177 kW (240 PS) @ 7000 rpm and 294 N�m (30.0 kgf�m) @ 4800 rpm. good old Wiki ---------- Post added 14-06-10 at 21:36 ---------- but good to see a "CT" car back in good hands
