I have owned both.

VN.....harsh motor..last forever.

VL...sweet motor...need to look at some repair work..ie head gaskets..etc.

Paint work on the VL is a lot better.

Most VN's have bad fade marks on DUCO.

Series 2 VN are not bad....series 1 has water coolant issues.

GO VP ....VN was the first and the worst....

VL was last of the series...this is why they are more sort after.

Just my thoughts......

GO VL.......at least they still turn heads.

i own a VL, i know a few people that owns VN's, get the VL. the only time i wouldn't recomend a VL for a daily is if its a turbo that you are modifying also.

VLT+mods=more time off the road than on it, literally....

VN will get you less attention than the (in)famous VL, and a VN has waaaay more room in it. Plus the interior is... 'good' isnt the right word, better than the VL thats for sure. Plus you can leave a VN anywhere and not have to worry about it because frankly, who cares? its a VN

The VL dash can be quite a lot of fun if you pick up a problem child... and good luck getting the air con to work

Had a VN 1988 v6 manual(good fun tank slapper). Did the job, tip though, make sure coolant hoses and heater hoses are replaced!

If you had less than half a tank going around a round about motor would die for a sec cos the tank has no baffles, the little things!

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
