This car is a great example of a 1989 Holden VN Calais, 3.8lt V6, auto and DUEL FUEL, the lpg tank costs around $35 to fill an gets around 400km of city driving to a tank. Drives great, I drive it to and from work everyday and have taken it for trips up the shepparton (4hours drive away) a few times, a very reliable car. Interior is super clean with only one small mark on the drivers seat, it has a clarion CD player with clarion 4" speakers in the dash and Pioneer 6x9s in the parcel shelf. All electric windows work, as do the electric aerial & mirrors, cruise control works, air con works (had that re-gased only a month ago). Being a Calais it has all the usual trip computer, fuel consumption, speed warning function etc...

Its been lowered on King Springs with brand new monroe shocks front & rear less than 6 months ago along with new link pin kits an panhard rod bushes. Rolling on VY SS 17"s mags with good 235/45/R17 Bridgestone RE030 Potenza tyres ($319ea new). Front & Rear brakes have been replaced within the last 6 months also, so it has new front discs & wheel bearings, new front pads, new rear discs & new rear pads, brake fluid flushed & changed also. It has a tow bar, thats about all i can think of to mention right now. oh, sports steering wheel (but not the one pictured, plain black leather one)

feel free to ask any questions

only bad points at the moment, it has the usual VN boot on roof paint fade & the engine light come on from time to time, but doesnt do anything an goes away sortly after it appears....apparently a common thing on VN's

thanks for looking

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
