VLs are the best '1st car' i reckon, got a bit of poke and they last for ages....

Thats an impressive engine bay for sure!

However the red rocker cover with high mount GT35/40 would also look impressive :P

I hope the body/interior on your VL is nearly as good as the engine bay?!

Heres a couple of pics of the exterior aswell as the interior. :D

I know the plates seem a bit silly on a near stock N/A 5 Speed which is why im getting rid of them next year when the rego runs out. :)

Also the tacho is getting the boot aswell. :)

I want to try to keep it as classy and as clean as I possibly can.

cheers guys, the purple vl i sold at the start of this year and its now running the stagea rb25 with a z32 300tt 5 speed, and i took the 26 out and its in the stagea.

the guy who bought it used to come on here occasionally, but i havent spoke to him since the sale, so i dont know whats the go with it now.

looked nice and went hard and sure turned heads, but cops also turn their heads so i decided to sell for something with abit more modern parts inside and the sleeper appearance plus 4wd traction, as i couldnt imagine leaving the purple vl anywhere at shops or outside nightclubs or something, some wanker would scratch it or even steal it.

my aim was a feature in zoom or street commodores with that car but i had soo many issues in the 3 years of the ownership i didnt get it running correctly before i changed my mind to go with a stagea.

cheers

Brad

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
