    Default dizzy heads cant be swapped

    according to a spare parts bloke, the dizzy head for the skyline and VL nissan motors arent interchangable \they look the same but wont fit, confirmed by nissan, he said

    bosch supply a VL head, but it seems the genuine nissan part is all thats available for the skyline at over $100, ned kelly still lives on.....

    Sean ur being told crap, Vl 3lt have HITACHI ignitions thats it, pt number is GH618 is for a dizzy cap and the letter H in that pt number means H is for Hitachi..

    NISSAN Skyline RB30E also uses HITACHI same pt number and same info as above..

    Nearly all Nissan stuff has Hitachi ignition systems, only 1 or 2 models use different brands..
    I was confused now I'm just not so sure!!

    so it is the same numbers as u stated

    yah when i bought them to at ricebahn the dude asked what type of dissy i had, i said the hatahi and he got the dissy cap out and showed me, looked exatly the same,
    the mitsibishi cap had some wierd extra moulded bump on the cap, and then it was i found out by 'the iron masked man' (nissan dude)that apparntly the holdens had the hatahi and the nissan used the mitsibishi

    ill look it up as im intressted to know,
    yah i got the brands wrong but nissan and autobahn both said there was a diffrance, and as i said there was a extra moulded bump on it, so i dont know

    When the CAS died on my VL i went to the wreckers and got another distributor which was off a SKYLINE. The distributor fitted and the holden distributor cap fitted, but the rotor button would not. The shaft on the nissan distributor is slightly thicker so the holden rotor button will not fit. When the CAS died on the SKYLINE distributor i decided to buy a new CAS to put in my old distributor and was told that nissan and holden CAS are different and the SKYLINE one costs about three times as much as the HOLDEN one so i bought the HOLDEN one.
