EKW in Melbourne have VG20ET's for $400, would be a nice engine, but as Zac
pointed out to me, arguably not as smooth or torquey as a modern four like
the SR. Might work out to be cheaper though, and certainly a little
different!

Very interesting! but you don't speak of the one and only important bit of
information... do they fit in a 510?! I am thinking the external dimensions
of the VG20et are the same as the VG30. Is this right? Doesn't anyone have
one in a 510? Are they hard to get? I've never heard of a Nissan Gloria..
Tom.
