Hey all

I dont post to often on here but now i need ur help...

Im in the market for a new car so i can get around while my project is going thru some repairs and respray etc etc... I have been told of a VL Calais Turbo and im still waiting the news on it and if it becomes available i will be buying it but not to get my hopes up im still looking in other areas and thats when i came across this car..

how much have u got on yours??? i really wanted an R32... but planned to buy once once my VL project is back on the road and looking nice again ready for selling :D

my mates dad is a car wholesaler so if something good comes in i can usually get it VERY cheap hence why i jumped at the Calais Turbo cause ide be getting it cheaper than a nice looking NA VL... i woulda gone thru him for a nice silvia or r32 but they dont come thru very often as trade in's to many people sell them privately cause they can fetch alot more...

Yep, up to 87 is the S1 Pinny looking front end but trust me, many have had these changed (like mine) so best to ask.

Manuals are hard to come by but do exist so look out for a manual would be better and make sure it has an LSD diff (if its important to you) as not all do. I had to change mine from single to LSD but was factory manual. Also bear in mind, wheels are hard to get in the offset with 4 stud.

Also look for one with an RB20DET ECCS, many has NICS engines and even RB20ET's etc.

Other than that they are a great car, I love mine and as they are different they attract a lot of attention. Everyone told me to get a 32, wanted something different and haven't regretted it for a day.

Mine is a S1 that had a RB20ET factory, thankfully by the time I brought it there was a silvertop RB20DET sitting there, phew!

Yer they look ok, prefer the S3 with projectors, mine has the new front end with the old rear, perfect combo, but then I am biased :verymad:

Don't forget the S1 Passages that were equipped with the RB20ET powerhouse :huh:

Even S3 ones were. But obviously not the only choice of motor, given you could have anything from a diesel to a RB20DET ECCS.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
