VG30DETT Manual?

[Datto-Zed]

Don't want to be a dampener, the VQ from all reports is a great engine, but apparently fitting a decent gearbox is a problem, requires a complicated custom made adaptor IIRC.

What a bugger, all these great V engines and no effing gearboxes, thinking Lexus too.

If that's the case that's a real bummer. I really want a VQ25DE in my sunny.

yep, the VQ is light, small and smooth and 206kW as std...just need a box/FW/clutch!...this is why an RB/VG is looking the goods ATM

Faaaark!!!! A bloke at the sprints the other day had a Lexus V8 (in a Leyland P76 but lets not go there) and I didn't ask about the box :knock:

He was revving the crap out of it in the pits, lots of exhaust noise but virtually no mechanical noise at all. Eerie:oh:

Z31 VG30ET 5 speed .. that would bolt right on yeah?

[Datto-Zed]

To a VG yes.
