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

      That’s a beautiful setup Tao, Have u done any development with the new Turbosmart 40mm electronic straight gate, especially in this G30 configuration?

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)
