K. Yeah someone told me a VL does not have a GTR motor in it.

Yeah it does look a bit holden, especially with the orange too. Funnily enough the seat covers are V8 Supercars ones. lol I think I remember hearing a VL Calais Turbo has the same motor as a skyline (correct me if im wrong) maybe the motor was out of a holden?

Yeah, nothing, plaque wise or stamp wise suggests anything. Im wondering if a workshop that does up engines maybe put it on after working on it. We have only just last night started having a good look at her and we are quite surprised at what we are finding so far, It is deffinately not stock. Maybe someone knows of a motor builder who may have put this badge on it?? I wish I knew more about the cars history.

Can anyone tell me what this Limited Edition Badge means on this motor. Checked the block number and its not N speck or what ever it is. (yes Im a not too car minded female - deal) It has Nismo 555c injectors so I have discovered, dont really know much of the internals, Hubby suspects it has cams but dont think that has anything to do with this "Limited Edition" Badge. I guess it is possible a previous owner decided it looked cool and just stuck it on there. any info would be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply, dont get on here all that often. The doggy day cruise went well. There was only a small turn out which I had a feeling it would be. so we decided to skip the cruise and go straight up the coast to the beach. The drive was still nice doing the coastal run. The dogs all had a great time at the beach, funnily enough none of them were fussed on the water but just loved playing on the beach and seeing/meeting some other dogs that were there. My 16month old son LOVED the beach, it was his first time at a beach, he is a real water baby, he just wanted to run off right into the deep if I had allowed it, I ended up having to use the lead rope to tie around his weist so he couldnt run off or go too deep and get carried away. The biggest sandpit he has ever seen was also a delight. I think it is possible he had more fun than the dogs did. The prizes I brought ended up being enough for each dog to take one as a treat, so all in all the dogs got very spoilt. Will try to run another one before summer is over, so keep an eye on here or WCC.

no worries, Im sure we will do something like this again. Gotta spoil mans best friend right? I guess its possible you might have seen my car its a silver R32 4 door, Looks stock, limo tint with gunmetal standard rims, nothing special really. Has a big pink west coast cruisers sticker on the back window so that makes it a little more recognisable. My Hubby has just started using it as his daily so it will be on the streets a bit more now. For anyone else who is coming we will see you & your best buds (dogs that is) on Sunday.

this is this Sunday, So brush up on your dogs skills, give him/her a wash and come out for a day of fun! No dog... Come along anyway.

This is an afternoon cruise, Grab lunch before leaving or on your way to the meet point, there are no planned lunch breaks during the cruise. You will need.... Dog, collar and lead, bowl and some water for the dog, maybe some treats if you want to spoil him/her. Towels, for dog and for the car seat, car seat cover if you require one, maybe a ball or toy.

DOGGY CONTESTS At the park, we will run a few competitions, such as, best educated dog, Best Agility dog, cutest dog, best dog trick etc. I will supply some prizes, nothing fancy though, this is just for fun and Im not rich. lol Dogs must be under effective control by their owner when in public places. Your dog is not considered under control if they: chase or disturb wildlife, other dogs or people act in a threatening or aggressive manner attack or injure another animal or person is a considerable distance from their owner(s) preventing response to verbal commands Please remember your dogs mess is your responsibility. Dont have a dog but still want to come and socialise, then by all means do come. You can help judge our doggy contests if you dont have a dog of your own on the day. The beach we will be going to is also a nice one and you are welcome to hit the waves if you wish to. This cruise is organised by West Coast Cruisers. All road rules are to be obeyed.

What a beautiful day we had, just like to thank everyone for coming. see you at the next event.

Your invited to attend West Coast Cruisers DamsToDam open cruise happening this Sunday. This is an open cruise so all are welcome regardless of car make/model. Details as follows... DATE: Sunday the 22nd August 2010 TIME: 10.00am for a 10.30am Depart MEET POINT: Midland Gate Shopping Centre Undercover Car Park - Padbury Tce off of Great Eastern Hwy Midland. DIRECTION: West / South DESTINATION: Serpentine Dam for a BBQ lunch. Weather forecast for Sunday is for fine weather. In light of this we will be having a BBQ lunch at Serpentine Dam. Go buy some snaggas and buns and pack your eskies, dont forget the Tom sauce and some BBQ utensils, etc etc. Might pay to pack an umbrella just incase. We all know the weather man can get it wrong. As always, we respect the road rules, No burnouts/skids/hooning etc etc. This is a family event and children will be attending so it is your responsibility to be a good role model. Drive safe and we will all have a happy and enjoyable day.

Well I think its all personal preference. I guess the first question you need to ask is... is this your daily driver? If it is you may want to limit your mods to avoid any unwanted attention, and then Id say the suggestions on here are good. However, if this is your weekend car and/or youd sacrafice and accept a yellow sticker in return for a hot looking ride then I say go the kit all the way. Nothing sets a car apart and makes it more unique than a kit I reckon. Sexy yes? Guess you also need to ask yourself how much your willing to spend, these things tend to be endless money pits. In the end just do what ever your heart desires, it is your car, so make it YOUR car.

Great cruise, shame we had to bail at the second last meet point, poor bubba was not feeling well.

ROFL *no comment*

Good job Socs, hope to see you all there.
