Yeah my Vg30 on the drifter is the easiest car to work on ever. I can do timing belt changes on the fly! Shit is so cut up, I personally used a dremel, only part of the timing cover I have is for the cam marks, all the other shit you can figure out using the oil pump mark and crank pulley key. Once you have taken your vg apart 5 or more times you begin to give a fuck and just want it to be fast the next time.
