    yeah mate would be a MASSIVE job as vs has electronic gearbox and vn's dont. your ALOT better off just buying a second-hand vn or vp gearbox and swapping them

    yea ok then i haven't actually got the wreck yet but i should be able to pick it up for about 500-600 with 209xxx on the clock so i was thinking it would be a good deal then selling the parts i dont use and then selling the body for scarp which is around $150 on its on at the moment so i should be be to make my money back on it

    What's the big deal? You are getting the full wreck. Swap the wiring, engine and gear box.
    Mod the VS dash to suit or make a few adjustments for the speed alert unit to fit what you have. As long as you get the keys with the wreck you should be OK.

    Yeah it is a bit more than just swapping the gear box over though
