Up for sale is my Holden Commodore VN Executive 5 litre, I'm selling this due being over driving a V8 and buying a Skyline as a replacement.

1989 VN Executive V8

Engine:

280 xxx km (engine was rebuilt at 201 000km, have reciept for the labour, unfortunately lost the one with the cam specs, but its some type of mild non factory camshaft, the harmonic balancer, auto and radiator were replaced with the engine, as well as it being chemically cleaned and the heads polished)

Pacemaker extractors into a 2.5in straight through exhaust with hotdog muffler

NGK Iridium spark plugs

K&N air filter

new Delkor 520CCA battery

Unknown memcal (chip), it's not stock though

the above setup was good for 160rwkw 550nm, I think i've lost my dyno sheet, but will ask my mechanic for another one if buyer is keen.

Just serviced the engine and automatic last week as well as installed a new throttle position switch.

Suspension:

Standard height (legal) king springs all around, 3 months old with Koni rear shocks and Monroe fronts

(most of the bushes have been replaced, as well as the tie rod ends, and steering rack boots)

Wheels:

17" ROH Fury wheels, with 235/45 tyres all around with 80 % tread on

Brakes:

Slotted DBA front rotors, standard rears with Bendix Ultimate pads.

Stereo:

Sony CD player with Clarion front speakers, Alpine 6x9s in a custom parcel shelf and Rockford Fosgate sub/amp.

Interior:

Momo woodgrain steering wheel

HSV Level 3 dash (only thing missing is cruise control)

Statesman velour/leather front seats, Calais back seat

Roof lining does not sag like most VN's.

New ignition barrel fitted last week

Misc:

This has been my daily driver for the past 3 years, and has not missed a beat apart from the usual wear and tear of various bits and pieces, it hasn't had the life thrashed out of it doing burnouts like many have. For what it is it's reasonably fast, it can outpace a mildly modded LS1!

Car has been resprayed metallic red with an orange pearl at some point in its life, no rust, body is 100% straight.

The main flaws that I can honestly find with it are : the boot has had spoiler holes bogged up as you can see in one of the pictures, this has never bothered me personally.

Some of the window seals are perished, but car does not leak from the rain or being washed!

There are a few cigarette burns in the seats from the previous owner.

Car is located in Wentworth, NSW, about 30km from Mildura, will supply NSW roadworthy and the rest of the rego (November 08) with the car.

NO SWAPS PLEASE!! I'm selling this to consolidate my debts and because I don't want two cars, so money only, and though I'm open to negotiation on price, don't offer me anything stupidly low

Contact Details

Best bet would be PM on here or emailing me direct [email protected], or sending a text to 0405458123 - phone reception is patchy out here so might take a while to reply! Cheers, Ashe.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
