So..... After parking my 86 into a fence, and then a guard rail..?..I bought a old Bogan 2002 VX SS II auto cruise ship for a daily driver/project. Enter 1 x 2002 VX SS II Auto I searched around for ages looking at everything from new MX5's to 370Z's, and everything in between, I came across this old boat early in my searches, the boy pointed it out actually, he said "it looks old, slow and noisy, just like you, and mum would hate it", so with that kind of endorsement, and, with nothing else that really touched my special spot (something different, something I can play with, something that should annoy the neighbors and old peole, something with minimal electronics that a old idiot with monkey fists can work on, and parts that are easy to find and cheap, and parts that are cheap, and parts that are cheap), I grabbed it. Don't ask what I payed for it, I'm pushing that bit of information back down deep into my brain where my empathy lives to never surface again. Needless to say it is super clean and straight. Engine: LS1 5.7 Headers, twin 2.5" exhaust, OTR, Tune??? (It goes surprisingly well, LOL, shut up, it does go well, and it sounds f**king awesomeballs) it will visit Pulse Racing for some love in a while. I'm not sure about the Simmons rims though, 18 x 8.5 with 245/30 front, 18 x 9.5 with 265/30 rear, I think I'm going to try and find some OEM VX SS rima for it (swaps????). Suspension: Yellow lowering springs (Kings?). Some shocks??, I'll have a better idea when I lift the car and pull the wheels. I'm thinking its had some bushings done, the thing is as tight as a tiger. I've only just got it, so, so far I have only cleaned the airfilter, it's a over the radiator CAI jobbie that makes cool induction noises. So far things to do: Engine oil and filter Spark plugs Trans flush and filter Diff oil Brake fluid flush Power steering flush Coolant flush Wheel alignment Good wash, polish and wax Wrap headers.....maybe, or find some other form of heat sheilding for them... Then, look for other stuff like old hoses or broken stuff. You know there will always be broken shit in a 20 year old car. What are my plans for it? drive it around really, hit the drags once or twice for some LOLs, not back it into a fence....and guard rail....

2001 VX Commodore wagon, have owned for a couple years and in that time have gone through and upgraded parts to make it a reliable tow car! Car is also DUEL FUEL so cheap as chips to run (costs about the same as a 4 cylinder hatch) Heavy duty tow ball (cost $550) 6 month old rotors and pads (cost $400) new rear shockers and springs (cost $400) new air bags in the rear for towing (cost $275) recently replaced thermostat and intake pipe. Tyres still have at least 75% tread! still around 9 months rego left! Car is also on GAS...cheap!! Have used this car over 15 times for towing car/trailer and she has been extremely reliable (including interstate trips). Car does have some paint fade on the bonnet and also some small dents on one side (nothing serious). $4700 ONO Ryan-0413804117

hey everyone, love the site. allright well, i have a vs calais that i am putting an rb25det into, bought my donor skyline (r33) last week, was thinking ill take the engine out and sell the stuff off the skyline to hopefully make the money i spent back on it. just had a couple questions, 1# what is everyones opinions on a quality aftermarket ecu, the car is a manual, has 290rwkw for now. it still has stock nissan ecu. 2# would 1000cc injectors be good for around 300-350kw?? or would an upgrade be in order and if so at what power would it be worth changing them over. 3# what would the problem be if when i start the skyline it starts blowing out light smoke from the oil catch can? 4# and would anyone know if i could use a vl manual front half of the tailshaft and have the original vs rear part? anyone that has done this to a vs would love to talk, or even if someone could send me a link to someone thats done it would be a great help. and by the way i dont need anyone telling me to ditch the commodore and keep the skyline, have alot of love for my calais and its very neat to. cheers guys...

I've listed the car on car sales so have a look www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Holden-Commodore-2003/SSE-AD-2441817 Up for trade/sale is my 2003 VY Executive Commodore series 1 Obsessively Serviced by a True Holden Fanatic History of the car - Bought in Aug, 2003 by an elderly family member. Used in Brisbane for the entirety of its life. - July 2013: The chance came to purchase the car as the first owner wasn't eligible to continue driving this car. I was in need of a car for transport, so I pounced at the chance to get this great steal, however i realise that this Family sized car is only transporting myself, so.. that means I need to downgrade to a smaller car. This car is truly mechanically Grade A1. You will notice the condition as soon as you take it for a drive. Everything is completely factory stock, as it should be. I am offering a great price for this vehicle Scratches/dents: there is one dent in the drivers side door, however this is only cosmetic and is barely visible. Come grab a look, I'm positive this will sell soon Im in no hurry to sell this car as i believe it deserves the price offered, which is to the buyers delight. Cheers Tom, 0410135716 Send me a txt or call
