Hey man,
I am in northern NSW and done this swap numerous times. Get an r31 rb20det OR r32 rb20det front cut and if your car is a manual, you can use the original gearbox.
RB20DET with stock LSD will fry the clutches in it BIG time, Motospecs no longer sell a repair kit for them either. However, the BA Falcon LSD's are a direct replacement ;)
However, my personal choice is a R33 RB25DET...
