  1. I previously had a vl calais but soon saw the light and turned to a R32 gts-t. If your from Ipswich you will understand where RB20INSIDE is coming from. For example. First week i had my car i went for a drive to the nortorious Ipswich lap. Every set of lights had 17 year old wankers in vc vb vl all sorts of commodores, revin there stock engines and just being complete dickheads. I did about 3 laps with a Red VL commodore with a homemade body kit trying to race me the whole time. Obviously being the odd one out in an import amongst bogans. On the last lap me and a mate decided to head on out after seeing the skanky girls that hang out in there and thought enough was enough when some f#$ken dickhead drove straight up my arse. MY CAR WAS ONLY 1 WEEK OLD. How do u drive up somebodies arse doing 40km/hr? Only a young moron who has no drivin skills what so ever. It took months for the smash repairs to fix it as they were so busy (obviously that shit happens a lot in there). I will never go into Ipswich lap again. But being a ex vl owner i can seriously say it does depend on the people driving the cars. So in conclusion i think its just IPSWICH lol everywhere else i have been after that, i have had a ball cruising with other imports or tough vl turbos as my mates have a few.

  2. Have no cat at all that would make more horse power just gotta watch for emission testin. When i brought my 32 i had no cat on it and had to put a magic performance cat on. Ive seen a car that would start up and the second you put your foot on the accelerator it died. Took ages to relize it was the loose honeycomb part in the cat blocking the exhaust flow

  3. HI all.

    I recently brought and apexi avc-r boost controller for $550 , second hand and in perfect conditon. Wasn't a scratch or mark on it. I had it at my house and while i was at work some moron broke into my home and stole it :) . The funny thing is they only took the screen and left all the wiring etc. Useless to him and now its useless to me. Just want to find out if there is anyway i can replace a screen from somewhere rather than buying a whole new controller.

    Cheers for your help

  4. HICAS, rear wheels turn 3mm either way after 80klm. Theres an extra 2 oil lines that run to your rear wheels that are fed pressure once you hit 80klms. If have trouble drifting with hicas ( need slightly quicker reaction time ) can buy a kit to block of the 2 extra lines or can simply put to screws into the lines to stop the pressure being fed to your rear wheels.

  5. Go the R32, beautiful car got everything you need and later down the track when you want more power your payin big bucks to do a turbo conversion. you'll already have one. Ive beatin na supra's i just stay away from the turbod brothers lol and besides the price of a na supra is well over the price of a GTS-t. dont not think about a 4 door either, not many out there so your different straight away and dont have to get out all the time to let the girlies in. lol

  6. Just got this off another forum not sure if its correct or not but anyway.

    ""What grade of Ti is he using? You said he ran an aerospace company, so I'm guessing aero grade? That would be 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium; or 6% aluminum, 6% vanadium, and 2% tin - I think that's right. That stuff is rather expensive as I understand it""

  7. Dude if it ain't a Turbo Calais forget it! Go the R31...

    I just had my VL blow it's head- once again illustrating the issues with VL and the F**king radiator mounted lower than the engine!

    I have spent about 2.5k just keeping it on the road in the last year and it goes and blows a head on me!

    So- If it ain’t turbo go the R31- less hassle and less attention from the unwanted.

    My 2cs as a forma VL owner

    :lol: Seriously any serious car enthusiast wouldn't buy a VL Calais if it wasn't turbo. Just cause your VL is a piece of shit doesnt make the ones the same.

    And if you knew what you were doing you wouldnt be replacing the head with the standard head. For $2500 youd be close to gettng rb26head. The R31 and the VL are both over 18 years old so both will need attention to get them looking good again. The other good thing with the VL is there are a lot around for spare parts which you'll never have trouble finding. and when either car is finished, resprayed etc the VL looks ten fold better.

  8. Go the VL Calais there a beautiful car and when rebuilt run like a dream, RB30turbo with supra 5speed its a cheap reliable car. Plus are able to run reasonable boost putting out good power very fun. Leave out all the kits and crap. Had one that was hot house green over silver with 17" low profile perelli tyres just looked a treat. Will always look better than the R31 and perform pretty much the same.
