this one is a 2L engine

VL's have the RB30E engine or the RB20E engine. An easy way to tell the difference is to look at the throttle cable, in the 30's the cable comes right around the head and the 20's cable comes over top the plenum chamber. As for your question, i'd say the gearboxes do bolt up however im not entirely certain. i think the Rb20E 5th gear is of a differnent or shorter ratio aswell?

[Hootchy]

In a Vl manual I had it said the 2.0lt vl was NZ only

[ExodusDesign]

mm fair enough.

hadnt heard of a std rb20e VL

only those with conversions that had been done.

Are you serious? I really can't imagine anyone wanting to downgrade from an RB30e to a RB20e

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

VL rb20 only in NZ never sold in oz

[RB20/30Det_VL]

y dont u all just help the poor bloke out and answer his question

yes it will fit!!! i converted my mates auto rb20det cefiro last weekend and used the rb20e gearbox as it was spare from another cefiro we have that now has an sr20det in it

only NZ VLs had the rb20e as they had 1989 models, VLs stopped production in australia in 1988, so they got the leftovers

the R33 and cefiro also had the rb20e which weighed more than the VL, now that is useless, it would be sooo slow

hope this helps

cheers

Maybe someone that doesn't want to burn 15 litres per 100km.
