    Default VK RB30e transplant

    Iv recently dropped an Rb30e and auto trans into my VK, have used VL cross member VL power steering rack and have VL ECU and wiring loom and am wondering how to go about adapting that to the rest of the cars wiring, also what the easyest way to mount back end of gearbox as the bolt holes don't line upand also wondering where the wires coming off the gearbox connect to????????

    Was your car EFI before??

    as for gearbox mount what gearbox are you using?

    If the VK or VL one doesnt fit then its pretty much going to be fabricate one up. have a look at my site at the gearbox mount I used. Mine was done in such a way I am able to use factory type gearbox mount and easily change it over.

    Other prople have welded brackets onto factory ones to make them fit or weld one up out of angle iron.

    cheers
