hi i know this has probably been asked many times but i cant seem to find anything on it. i got a vl calais with a carby v8 and 3 speed auto and its on gas. im about to buy an r32 4 door skyline with front end damage. its got a rb20det and auto transmission.
my question is how hard is it to drop the r32 engine and gear box into the vl?
wat other bits do i need?
do i need to get exhaust made up or will r32 bolt up?
much appreciated.

Don't do it....
The RB20 is a piece of crap, for it to be reasonable you would have to shove 4.11 diff gears at it and go manual.
Much more than 200rwkw and they lag like a RB30 with a GT40.

RB30 wrecker motor and pick up an rb25 head for 1k.
A little bit of a loom and a cheap ecu and you have a killer setup that will reliably push 300rwkw.

rb20 will be good if you only want it for the turbo sound they lack power,
and its a easy install every thing bolts in and youll need about an hour on electrics to get it running have fun
