If you didn't already have it I wouldn't buy it to start with . Better I think to have a Japanese made Nissan if you like the brand . VLs are old an thin on the ground now and I reckon the only reason you'd get an RB powered Dore is if you really like live axles . You get so much more out of R series Skylines for the money and the end result tends to be better . If I wasn't carting people around I'd look for an R32 with the RB25DE in it , I think it was called 25GT or similar .

R200 IRS , four piston brakes fall in , huge choice of wheels . Upgrades galore and heaps of spares around reasonably cheap .

Your call , A .

Just to clarify; you keep saying DE and DET, which means twin cam. The D is for Double overhead cam. A twin cam RB30 is a custom made thing, not found in any STOCK cars.

I'll assume you have a VL Turbo because you haven't actually told us what you have..

If you have a VLT with the factory motor (RB30ET), you can drop in an NA or R31 RB30E and legally drive around. This is legal because the car was available with that option.

If you have something that did not come with an RB30 from stock it will be illegal to put one in and drive it on your Ps.

Its been said before but it is definitely going to be easier to sell the turbo car as it is, or put it away for now, and buy a decent P plate mobile to see you through. 100% easier, less heartache, and you won't devalue the car you own now.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
