It's got calais front end to !

has it got any rust ?

is it a calais or not ?

and is it a original turbo (from dealership when it was born)

Edited by turbohectics

by reading the above posts, its pretty clear that the car is a berlina that has been converted with a calais front and rear lights

EDIT: well it was stated as berlina :D

Okay i rang up holden to confirm the chasis number and to confirm the engine and specs and this is what they came up with

Its a genuine VL turbo calais

NO rust and the body is immaculate(inspection welcome)

The turbo badge on the boot was removed because turbos's get stolen more often

From the pictures it seems to be a VL Calais Series 1

Series 1 (1986 some 1987) had the headrests like that and a few other things such as door skins, and a few other different interior bits a pieces.

The series 2 (late 87 and 1988) had full padded head rests.

Turbo badge on the back or not won't help you, vl's are one of the most stolen cars in aus. btw good luck with the sale

you also stated original turbo was highflowed, for anyone interested that would be a t03 highflowed

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
