Well, you do have a point there.

I'm no Nissan or Holden 80's guru.
But even R31 skyline didn't have carby I don't think
I’m no Nissan or Holden guru either.

I did like the first JDM Nissan GTR (=rare & rather pricy now) with its 2 litre straight six and triple carbs :cool:

VL berlina
Thanks all for the input so far. Based on that I bought a tired looking 304 from a VN. But before dropping it in the car there’s a bit of work to do so I might finish the respray on the car and keep the current gear in it whilst I work on the 304 and get the other parts required. So…

I currently have a running VL with rb30 which has been converted to manual and the gearbox appears to have the code RP71C. I know some have suggested a T5 box will match up with the 304 when I drop it in, but could the current RP71C also do the trick with a 304?
