ok chop me up and feed me to the pigs for not searching but ive got 2 mins to leave or ill be late for work. are they the same? if so ill grab 1 from the wreckers tomorrow and get a rebuild kit for it. mines stuffed.

yeh mate there the same

I didn't think the VS even ran a distributor, the v6 anyway. Edit: Sorry I entirely mis interpreted the post. I thought it meant VL turbo to VS commodore dizzy the same haha...oops. And yeah VLT and VL-NA are identical as others have stated.

VLT and VL N/A are the same 100%

get a skyline R31 series 3, they give out a better signal than vl ones

Yeah I knew they were the same when I ordered a new Dizzy cap and plugs etc. and it said on the cover for; RB30E/RB30ET Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I actually thought there was two different RB30s in R31s, one featuring a timing chain? Yes, this is probably the one time I'm going to say something this stupid. Hey Gav, have you goy any pics on CT of your car? I'd be interested to see it!

cheers for the answers guys, just needed to know tonight so i can get up early and go searching for a half decent one. ill look into the skyline wreckers too if the series 3 are slightly better.

<hrrrm> only thing to watch is that 'some' imported models although they appear 100% identical are out of position by 180 deg <f.ck> so if you get a bit complacent and put new one on same as old without looking at the damn dot then be ready for lots of pops and coughs... Also on this model the rotor is not a skyline one but a mitsubishi, they look identical but wouldnt you know it the hole inside the rotor for the shaft is a fraction too small to fit on the VL one <grrrr> But after all this they work the same <sigh> <shrug> Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've got one, haven't put it on yet as i wanted to change the bearing first.
