You may find that the vg30 runs the rb box standard

If i remember correctly that engine came out of the 300zx which has the
beefed up rb box

Its not beefed up, its actually the same box in 2wd form, people always say how weak they are, I've broken about 5 and its not easy, a good fresh one will take the power quite well, I've covered it a few times on here.

Yeah but with mix and match parts you can bolt a VG and an RB to Patrol auto.

ive heard about that but i wanna keep mine manual. the only thing that ive been told about the vg30 is all the electrical components therefore i am looking towards the vq30det has anyone done it yet that anyone knows of.

would be good to see a few pics.

cheers turblown.

rb, vg and vq are all different bellhousing patterns. if it wasn't so easy to get power out of an rb, i'd go for the vq.

the rb will be a heap cheaper to do, i'd love to see a vq done but it won't be cheap.
