Gday Chrisso here, just bought an R33 GT Skyline coupe, RB25 non turbo, automatic, with a seized motor (stop laughing!)

Dont know much about Skylines except that they can be made to go quite quick.

Been ringing around wreckers searching for a good RB25 but they want a fortune for a used motor, cheapest one was a RB25 Turbo but unsure as to wether the standard auto box would cope?

A mate suggested one of them VL Commodore /Skyline motors dunno what theyre called RB30s maybe? evidently some people put the 2.5 twin cam head on the 3.0 litre engine but Ive been told they go worse with this mod?

Will the VL/ Skyline motor go in easily? bolt up to my auto? plug into my wiring, fuel, and exhaust, ? anything else to look out for?

Do you think I should swap the 2.5 head to the 30 to at least make it look correct.

asking this cos the VL skyline donks are cheaper, any info greatly appreciated.

If its a viable proposition I'll fix it and blow some silver paint over the upper faded surfaces.

or alternatively sell it just the way it is.

Any help would be appreciated, also if this is in the wrong area, could a moderator please move it to where it will be seen the most.

hope Im barking up the right tree!

Chrisso.
