    Hey mate ive got 3.7s in my auto and its awesome. for a manual go 3.9's. But i dont think skyline gears will fit in a vx. second hand diff gears for these cars are hard to come by. I got mine out of a vy clubby just got lucky. Also i know a bloke that can fit them for u for around 250 down here in melton.

    got 3.9's in my auto vx ss, your's would rev less then mine coz its manual.
    sits on about 2300 rpm at 100k's, i think in a manual it'll rev at 1900-2000.
    go 3.9's you'l be more then happy, i might try 4.11's once i get a daily and keep the ss for weekends.

    nah fuel isnt bad didnt really change much if anything, around the suburbs its great.
