Comments / Modifications:

This car is a great example of a 1989 Holden VN Calais, 3.8lt V6, auto and DUEL FUEL, the lpg tank costs around $35 to fill an gets around 400km of city driving to a tank. Drives great, I drive it to and from work everyday and have taken it for trips up the shepparton (4hours drive away) a few times, a very reliable car. Interior is super clean with only one small mark on the drivers seat, it has a clarion CD player with clarion 4" speakers in the dash and Pioneer 6x9s in the parcel shelf. All electric windows work, as do the electric aerial & mirrors, cruise control works, air con works (had that re-gased only a month ago). Being a Calais it has all the usual trip computer, fuel consumption, speed warning function etc...

Its been lowered on King Springs with brand new monroe shocks front & rear less than 6 months ago along with new link pin kits an panhard rod bushes. Rolling on VY SS 17"s mags with good 235/45/R17 Bridgestone RE030 Potenza tyres ($319ea new). Front & Rear brakes have been replaced within the last 6 months also, so it has new front discs & wheel bearings, new front pads, new rear discs & new rear pads, brake fluid flushed & changed also. It has a tow bar, thats about all i can think of to mention right now. oh, sports steering wheel (but not the one pictured, plain black leather one)

feel free to ask any questions

only bad points at the moment, it has the usual VN boot on roof paint fade & the engine light come on from time to time, but doesnt do anything an goes away sortly after it appears....apparently a common thing on VN's

thanks for looking

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
