OTHER INFO: Up for sale is my VT II Berlina 5.7, which is in almost excellent condition for its model.

I cannot fault the car on anything really but below I will put up it's minor blemishes that people could pick up on if they viewed the car..

Bad Points:

1) The boot has what looks like very very minor hail dents (maybe up to 5 or 6) that you can see when its washed and looking from a certain angle.

2) Previous owner had a push bike handle bar put a little mark and dent next to the RH tail light where it meets the quarter panel. 20c piece size

Like I said, they are nothing really but these are all factored into the price and why I have not put EXCELLENT condition in this sales ad.

Good points:

EVERYTHING else about the car is brilliant and works like new. The GenIII motor does not have the oil problem that some had or it was recalled and fixed by Holden. Either way the engine runs PERFECT and does not miss a beat. NOT ONE LEAK anywhere in engine bay or under carriage. Uses 10.5L fuel in city traffic and a recent drive to Newcastle got 9.3L on highway.

I previously owned a VZ SS 5.7 and myself and family have all mentioned how much smoother this VT is mechanically. Paint is perfect and has zero fade. Drives great with no noises or vibrations.

I personally believe this car is easily on par with the power of my dyno tuned VZ SS 6SP which has 243rwkw. I don't know if this VT has had a tune in the past but it has alot of grunt and sounds pretty tough.

Modifications:

* SS Inductions Growler kit

* FOX 18" black wheels with red walls

* King Spring Super Lows all round

* 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 exhaust (No extractors)

* Complete VX Calais suede/cloth seats and door trims with working driver & passenger 8 way electric seats.

* Brand new water pump with built in thermostat (2 weeks ago)

* Pioneer head unit with USB/MP3

* Heavy duty detachable towbar

Safety:

* Has factory fitted driver passenger airbags and side impact airbags in the seats.

This car will not disappoint on inspection and is an excellent daily driver or weekend cruiser. I have done plenty of long trips in hot and cold weather and it has not let me down.

Earlier this year I moved out of my apartment and I towed a full trailer, with full boot and filled the interior cabin up with all my belongings (on current springs) and it went from Sydney to Bargo without a problem.

My thread won't let me edit my ad, but the SS GROWLER INDUCTION is NOT included just to be clear. It belongs to a mate and was just the only engine pic I had and it's no longer fitted!

Will take $6500 no less. Already going well under what I paid and the car is in better condition since I bought it.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
