Parts Wanted For My R31 Silo

[Chivers]

im after a factory vl turbo gearbox for my 31.

condition doesnt matter as it will be getting the go over.

just msg me on 0407882760 if you have or know of one cheers

also after some r32 gtr front brakes.

[jangles]

a RB25 gearbox is better, if it doesnt matter on the condition, could pick one up cheap

[Chivers]

its not just a bolt up fit though is it mate??

[lawler]

vl turbo boxs need the same mods to fit as rb25det boxs but the vl ones are harder to find and more exsensive

[jangles]

jesus, if VL boxes are more expensive than RB25 boxes, why would anyone bother? more syncros in an RB25 box,

both boxes need the yolk to suit therefore custom tailshaft also,

as for bolting up, yes, they both bolt up to the engine the same.

have a search on this site, will be covered lots of times and give you a wealth of knowledge

How about an R32 GTR box that you could convert to RWD . $500 would probably work out cheaper for you

Almost but not quit, the VL turbo has a slightly diffrent bellhousing dew to the starter motor, it's

to do with the starter motor's bottom bolt being about 5mm further out, this is why True VL Turbo's

have a diffrent starter motor and also a diffrent engine sandwhich plate, and the VL flywheel has a

colar around the back of the ring gear, and the starter motor has no snout on it...

If your ever in Moonah drop into Moonah Auto Part's and i can show you the diffrence..

Cheers Jon

[Chivers]

glad i said bolt to the engine the same then..

its not a big deal if you have all the parts, anything is going to require $$$ and a few mods

[Burgz32]

not harder to do with the VL turbo box, just harder to find the VL part's is all...

[XRATED]

Just bang a modified 4spd jatco behind it... and go faster.

[WHITER33GTS-T]

C4.... Tough and cheap to rebuild.

[Chivers]

yeah it would be quick and all but i just prefer a manual guys

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Mine is manual shift :-)

Ive done the rb25det box conversion and it was about a 1 hour job if you have the parts.....and a hoist.

Ive also got an rb26dett R32 gearbox with the yolk if your interested. Tougher again than the 25det box.
