just thinking they do RB20det into s13 sliva's so mmmm all thinking the only difference is the front guards and lights, so if the RB20DET fits, the RB30 should only be a little high depending? just idea's for u to think about Guy has rb20det in his silva s13 only reason why i posted.

yeah troy, if you're not going to put it into a VL, then put it into a torry. there's simply no other car that's as lightweight, stylish and fun to drive than a high-powered torry.

Hmm, but theres differences with the non turbo 32's just like theres differences with the vl and the vlt, however.. If youve got an engine/ gearbox combo to go in, which you more then likely do, only thing you'd have to do would be brakes, diff. I've never seen an rb in a vn, wouldn't be hard to do and would make for an ultimate sleeper, noone expects boost when they see a vn floating on by.

Troy, I think you should put it in an LJ or LC. Think of the power to weight ratio.!! I'll come around and get the motor of you soon. Promise. Took you 6 months to get it off me Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
