you could definatly turbo your car with all that stuff for less than half that price http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=200070423 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=200070423) vl diff?

not sure Danny he says it's 20mm wider so I'm guessing it's a VN ?

no mention of ecu upgrade or gearbox failure or diff blow out haha

"The turbocharger connects the exhaust via down pipe which might be required." Lol wtf, you 'might' need a downpipe?

Maybe saying that if you own an N\A if you dont own a turbo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the VL Commodore the only one that came out with the RB30ET ?

But i dont think it was turb'd. My dads friend used to have one and it was a turbo but not to sure if he slapped the snail on himself...

Yea, came out in the R31 Silhouette as a turbo, dunno if they got as far as NZ though, but Oz got them.

WRONG Three models of 3.0 L RB30 were produced: RB30S - carbureted single-cam RB30E - fuel-injected single-cam (114 kW @ 5200 rpm, 247 N�m (25.2 kgf�m) @ 3600 rpm) RB30E R31 Skyline - fuel-injected single-cam (117 kW @ 5200 rpm, 252 N�m (25.2 kgf�m) @ 3600 rpm) RB30ET VL Commodore - fuel-injected single-cam turbo (150 kW @ 5600 rpm, 296 N�m @ 3200 rpm) This motor was produced because the Holden 202 (3.3 L) powering the Holden Commodore could no longer satisfy emissions requirements, and with all new cars required to run on unleaded petrol by 1986, a quick replacement was needed. Nissan Motor Co. sold the RB30E to Holden for the VL Commodore. The RB30E in the VL suffered from cylinder head cracking due to the radiator being fitted lower in the engine bay, causing air locks in the cylinder head. This was not as severe in R31 Skyline as the radiator is mounted higher. The engine proved to be very reliable apart from this issue. The RB30S was found in some Middle Eastern R31 Skylines and in some Nissan Patrols. The RB30E was found in R31 Skylines and VL Commodores in Australia as well as in South African R31 Skylines (with 126 kW @ 5000 rpm and 260 Nm @ 3500 rpm) The turbocharged RB30ET (producing 150 kW) was found only in the VL Commodore and consisted of a lower compression RB30E bottom end, more powerful oil pump, T3 Garrett turbocharger, 250 cc injectors and a different intake manifold. The motor itself is still popular today (albeit in highly modified form) on the Australian Drag Racing circuit. Nissan Special Vehicles Division Australia produced two limited models of R31 Skylines, the GTS1 and GTS2. These contained slightly more powerful RB30E engines, containing lumpier cams and better flowing exhausts. BUT!!! 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. There were a variety of 2.0 L RB20 engines produced: RB20E - single-cam (85 to 96 kW (115 to 130 ps) @ 5600 rpm, 167 to 181 N�m (17 to 18,5 kgf�m) @ 4400 rpm) RB20ET - single-cam turbocharged (107 kW (145 PS) @ 6000 rpm, 206 N�m (21.0 kgf�m) @ 3200 rpm) RB20DE - twin-cam (110 to 114 kW (150 to 155 PS) @ 6400 rpm, 181 to 186 N�m (18.5 to 19 kgf�m) @ 5600 (and later with a NEO-Head 4400 rpm) RB20DET - twin-cam turbocharged (158 kW (215 PS) @ 6400 rpm, 265 N�m (27.0 kgf�m) @ 3200 rpm) RB20P - single-cam (94 PS @5600 rpm and 142 N�m @2400 rpm) RB20DET-R - twin-cam turbocharged (210 ps @6400 rpm and 245 N�m @4800 rpm The first RB20E/ET/DE/DET engines were fitted to the R31 Skyline. The early twin cam engines are generally referred to as 'Red Top' engines because they have red cam covers. The early twin cam engines featured the NICS (Nissan Induction Control System) injection system, while the single cam engines always used ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System). Later 'Red Top' twin cam engines used in the R31 series Skylines from late 1987 onward use the ECCS system and a different intake manifold arrangement. The RB20E was also fitted to some Holden Commodores (the VL Commodore) sold in New Zealand, and also to the A31 Cefiro. The Z31 200ZR was fitted with an intercooled NICS type RB20DET. RB20ET engine in an R31 Passage WagonLaurels, R32 Skyline and Cefiros used the second (1988-1993) series RB20E/DE/DET. This had an improved head design, and used the ECCS injection system. These later motors are known as 'Silver Top' engines. The RB20DET-R was used in the Nissan Skyline 2000GTS-R (HR31). It is limited to 800 units. The RB20P is the autogas LPG (Liquified petroleum gas) version of the RB20, but with 12 valves (OHC).

Ive known wikipedia to be wrong sometimes...
