hey people im new here just thought i would say hello to everyone. I have a stock Vk 84 manual, thinking of what i can do to it, im thinking of either doing up the engine i have now, getting mags and 2 1/2" exhaust, or im thinking of doin what my mate is doin, getting a half cut from a skyline Any suggestions would be good! I hope that i can help some people out too

Depends really on what yu want. If you want low down grunt and that V8 sound and don't mind the fuel consumption, stick with the V8. For an easy power upgrade, go the front cut, but there's a heap of mods going from the 8 to the six, ie motor& Mounts, gearbox & mounts, tailshaft, front springs, k-frame, exhuast, speedo drive, radiator etc etc. What about fitting EFI to your carby V8?? I have just done that to my VL and it's alot better.

hey man its just a straight 6, sorry i didnt mention it before! i was thinking bout fitting EFI how much would everything cost for it?

a jap front cut is much cheaper to buy than say an efi holden V8. will use less fuel and probaly make more power in standard form too. Plus, they are easy to get extra power out of, ie extra boost, intercooler etc. Depending on what front cut you get, you may get an intercooler with it. Ask around the wreckers etc for prices on front cuts vs efi V8's. Then speak to various workshops so you can find out exactly what is involved in each conversion as well as an approximate cost.

Hey man thanks you have been heaps of help. Ill look more into it some more and come up with a decision soon, i think it will be the front cut, my mate is getting a front cut with a huge intercooler, gearbox dash everything he needs practically, for his vl so that looks like its the go. thanks for all your help mate ill let everyone know how it goes when i get some more money!

No worries dude. Good luck.

Hey just popin in to ask, how much would it cost to fit EFI to my car?

it's probably not worth fitting the Vk's EFI to your car. You'd be better off fitting a VL EFI 6 than doin' it to your motor.

around how much would that be ?

*waves* once u've had an 8 u'll never go back :mrgreen:

You can easily get a VL motor with ecu for under a grand. auto boxes go for around the $500 mark. you just need to fit efi lines and pump as well as change gearbox mounts, engine mounts etc, but speak to a few places that can do this job. Once you sell off your motor i'd be very suprised if it came to more than $2500, but I haven't researched it fully. Check things like the trading post so you can get an idea of prices for parts. find a wrecked vl and take what you can off it for cheap.

ok sweet man thanks for all your help! Mr_Sixty9 - thinking of that too! everybody look at my poll and let me know what u think Thanks for everybodys help
