I own both skyline and vl have rb30e with 5 speed manuals.
I think the biggest thing that i have noticed that is different is how smooth my skyline is when its started cold to running at red line.
The skylines head was removed and cleaned up but that was it. As for the vl is currently holds 127 rwkw BUT even before i went out on the vl rb30 and it had the factory standard spec motor in it, it never ran as smooth.
And to this day i stll cant figure it out.
Anyway the 3kw aint anything significant at all for drag times or what not.
With the gts 1 and 2 skylines they had;
Agressive cams gts2 being lumpier
Larger TBs gts 2 being bigger
And they had piggy back ECUs to keep everything undercontrol.

and i was meant to quote malpaso in my first comment. so my answer is directed to him
oh ok well that clears that up then

i think he was referring to the r31 beating the vl of the mark! r31's have a shorter ratio than 3.45's, they are more like 3.9's or something and have 28pline!
he wasn't meaning that the diff ratio gives it 3kw more!
oppps i should have read on before i skipped the rest of the replies before i replied!
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
i knew this would turn into a **** fight, talking about low powered cars always does lol,
the head i had was sold and the new owner threw it out, damn..
would'v been a good cheap mod for my daily wagon

The sloped front end of the VL meant the radiator sat quite low, making it susceptible to air pockets if not bled properly. I believe this is the reason why many VLs blow head gaskets, although obviously it's possible to blow any head gasket for a number of reasons i.e poor maintainance, ****ty ACL gaskets or 50 pounds of boost.
From memory another difference was the injectors in the R31 were slightly smaller? (I think?)

lol@ a mod having to edit your post.
dude i never said anything about racing.. i said diff ratios dont affect POWER FIGURES (which was what you were implying), so maybe read a little more carefully before you go being a dickhead
The difference between 114kw and 117kw could be the engine tested, the dyno used, or the figure given to the public by the manufacture... they may not be any different at all!
