I have owned this car since 08/2007 and it has never let me down. I purchased it just under 80k km, had the timing kit(with water pump and OEM thermostat) done at around 80k km(receipt provided). It has also had the radiator reco'd(sticker still on rad), a new thermostat(precaution), new coolant temp sensor, the IAC valve cleaned, throttle body cleaned etc. serviced every 4-6k km with fuchs 10w30. Most recent service i used motul 10w40. Recently had rocker cover kit done.

I bought the car dead stock(which means I have the standard parts) from the first aussie owner who owned it for ~3yrs and put ~35k km on it(he also had a company car). All the modifications have been well thought out and carried out to complement the car.

- 86dB 3" Turboback exhaust- JJR Stainless dump/front(heat wrapped), Catco 3" cat, custom(Rowville exhausts) 3" mild steel catback with mild mid and stainless magnaflow rear muffler.

- Bridgestone RE001 tyres.

- Car has been dyno'd to check AFR's

PRICE $10,999

Reg is until October 2010.

Car is parked undercover in the inner-suburbs of Melbourne.

I am sure there is more I could add, As you can see, all mods are of good quality, all maintenance has been done(folder to prove, contains receipts for 100k service which was done the week i bought the car etc). This is a VERY reliable car, NEVER let me down, I have used it when i had un-reliable datsun projects, and then moved house with it(can fit a fridge in it easy :P ), and it has been the grocery getter as the mrs and I get trains to work. The reason I have put so many km on the car is my fiance's family are in Geelong, over 150km away, and the rest out in Colac, and her family being rather close has resulted in alot of trips to see them- you can see how the cruisy km's got put on there.

This car would suit someone with a young family, a preggy mrs, or someone who goes away a lot or needs the space for bikes or work gear. Or if you just want a cool car that gets lots of the right kind of attention but none of the wrong kind!

Contact me via PM for any enquires,

-Ryan.

Fuel economy: around town 450km 50lt, fwy 550 too 3/4tank. fuel economy improved with the full exhaust. currently it is being driven too/from work by the mrs as i have bought myself a new car.(which now the mrs has changed jobs i will be selling too) BP98 or mobil 98 only!

Reason for sale: Mrs and I both on traineeships, Wedding is in 18months, both cars are going and we are going to get a little hatch worth about 30% of the Stagea. We live close to her work, I get the train to work, we live 10mins from the CBD, so it is hard to justify having money tied up in any car, not to mention two.

VL CALAIS- disc to disc lsd with 4:11 gears, auto, stock RB30 just needs a dizzy but i think i have a couple of spare ones,custom seats but front driver seat is ripped, good grey velour calais door trims and hood lining just needs to be put back in properly, complianced factory turbo, and for race seats and cage i think, 1 or 2 of the wheels in the pic are cracked from my mates brother taking his stateo up the gutter. and some low life stole the nose cone out of my mums garage so it would need that and a new sunroof because someone broke the old 1

VL COMMODORE- all brand new bushes+ pwr steering rack and pump+ adjustable panhard rod+ super low king springs+ gt gas shockies+ wheel bearings+ slotted front rotors+ new unis+ the 5 spd has been rebuilt+ the engine has been fully rebuilt done f**k all k's, it was bored to a RB31(3.1 litre) with a vl turbo crank, forged ACL race pistons and rods, ported and polished head with heavy duty valves and double coil valve springs. put a metal head gasket on it and it will handle a turbo and or nos all day long. i tapped a truck and rippled the nose cone and front guard so i was goin to put everything in the calais. i took the dash out and the pedal assembly and put it into the calais and that was as far as i got

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
