PRICE IS CORRECT: $5,000 drive away.

Built by Lansvale Smash repairs and starting life as a VN commodore, This 5.0 litre mildly worked engine is fitted with a 5 speed close ratio short throw gearbox exiting via headers and a two into one exhaust system. This car was built to look like, sound like and go like a Supercar and was used mainly for display purposes. It is road registered and has spent its life being driven around to store openings, promotional outings photo shoots etc. We now use it to give people rides on Charity and promotional days. The car has the stiffest and most expensive Kmac suspension money can buy. It is painted in the colour sceme of a V8 supercar. It has been lightened by removal of many creature comforts like air, radio, etc. It still has a full VN commodore interior. Last week it was put on the Computer at a Holden Dealership and found (as expected) to be perfect. It is not for the quiet, mild mannered or weak of heart. It is basically a road going race car with many 10's of thousands spent on the car.

There is absolutely no chance of anyone taking it for a drive but I will start the car and drive it up and down our "long" driveway. My thoughts on the car is that It would make an ideal promotional vehicle or install a roll cage and take it racing. Or use it for drifting. Remember it has a genuine 5.0 litre with racing box and of course both are as new. Add the value of these near new items and the extraordinary suspension set up and you can see the asking price is spot on and thus not negotiable. car comes with 2 bolt on nosecones of various heights and two separate diffs for race and drift. If you are interested we are happy to lease the car back 2 days a year for $500 per day to use for our charity days in February and November.

Car has genuine 77,000 kilometres since new and is a two owner car.

why so cheap... why u selling? VN SS's are almost that cheap now and your sellin a race car for the same price... is the rego full rego or one where u have limited kms each year?

more pix? eg engine, interior, struts etc.........please

Engine is a stock VN 5.0 litre with mild cam and extractors.

Interior is stock Vn-Vp commodore

Struts requires removal of tyres to photograph.

The price is cheap so you can afford to come and look if interested.

Well if its cheap come and buy it....Im 46 and need to sell 8 of my cars as we are selling the house and the grounds look like a mess with 15 cars around the house. Also have HQ race car for $2k.

It is not a VN SS it is an executive with no air/radio built to Supercar Replica standard.

It is not a race car as it does not have a rollcage

It is a NSW normal full registered street car. There is no such thing in NSW as limited k rego. NSW only has street rego or conditional rego.

This is a full street registered car that can be driven anywhere.

not lookin at buyin right now... but i must say i, the HQ has aroused sum interest, got any info on this or any place where i might be able to find more info.

No photos as it is stored in a dark factory covered in dust.

let us know when your interested.

HQ racing is a popular form of cheap motor sport where all cars are limited to a 202 engine and 3 speed box.

what other car you got ?

What do you want?

I have 8 of the 15 for sale, Just sold my EVO 6.5 for $38k and my GTiR for $6k.

So far first looker has bought at full price.

haha glad I'm not the only one that was more interested in the HQ :D good luck with the sale Dom

Hi, Duncan. We should get the old HQ 3 speed 202 out on the wet Figure 8 at Eastern Creek. I actually bought it from a friend of yours in lalor park and then rebuilt it.

Thanks to the guy from race and rally who added this to the history of the car

"Hi

Just some interesting info on this car, i worked for Lansvale smash when this car was used to go to shopping centres as a promo car, Lansvale bought the car as it was and just resprayed it in there colours, but im 90% sure that when they bought the car, it came from melboune and was Larry Perkins ex promo car and was painted up in the white/red/green castrol colours.

Just thought id let you know, good price for what it is!

Good luck with the sale."

Hi Dominic, I'm looking for something along these lines for weekend events. I've read and re-read your initial post. Are there any other modifications to mention? eg. does is have the crankcase venting sorted? Or is the body stich welded?

I'm assuming the car's brakes are standard?

Cheers, Ben.

Other than a mild cam and extractors the engine is standard. The body is not stitch welded.

This is not a $30,000 race car.

Well my apologies for not knowing all the details! I was just trying to get a handle on, quote;

"This car was built to look like, sound like and go like a Supercar"

and, "many 10's of thousands spent on the car."

My apologies if Ive offended. Im just a genuine old bloke that wants to sell a cheap car and is copping shit from people who just want to take it for a drive or get me to drift it for them.

Its the weirdos that come looking at the car that annoy me. (Will take $4,550) They think that it should have air and full roll cage, and harnesses and Kevlar seats and carbon fibre everywhere for this much money.

The car has

Race gearbox and clutch

Stock 5.0 litre (with mild cam) (77k)

as new extractors into twin into 1 exhaust

Full Kmac supercar suspension kit

VS supercar body kit.

Stock Vn interior

Stock brakes

Rego due 13 July or I will renew at your expense.

It has NO air cond, radio, CD, DVD, Sunroof, Snap On seat covers, Stickers for HKS or even Greddy, No BOV, No Boost guage, No neons fitted underneath that dont light up Pink nor purple. No 28 inch sub speakers that play that Doof Doof music in tones that send your dogs insane.

It has a very ordinary paint job.

It is very cheap and I would never reccomend it to be driven on the road because:

Its too low, attracts too much attention and most importantly "people will laugh at you"..

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
