Hey all, was just wondering if anyone had a pic of a vl with a nissan r34 skyline engine in it. Currently looking for a new motor to put in to replace the worn rb30 because will currently be doing a vlt conversion and hopefully be recieving a t88, hopefully. Or if you have quality pics of vl's with engines other than the rb30. Cheers.

www.gweeds.net (http://www.gweeds.net) - Wealth of information regarding an RB25 Transplant. You might want to do an rb30/25 conversion as well... budget around 5-8k for a total conversion with some go fast bits as well. [an over estimated amount, but you might do more or less work depending on what you do]

Yeah thanks all, currently saving the money to do a turbo conversion and just looking at differernt engines to put into the vl. What sort of engine does the r34 run, rb26 is it? By the time i finish saving i should roughly have around 10k to play with. I would like to find a r34 gtr engine but its just a matter of finding one and the price the person is willing to let it go for. If you have any pics of gtr engine in the vl could you send them to me also. In regards to OMY-11S, if you could send any pis you got to [email removed] that would really help. Cheers All. Dale.

i always thought tomi cams were rather soft. But then again, i doubt anything with that combo is soft other then the driver :P
