Stacey just bought this RB30 powered machine.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...=vl&trecs=2

Its in unbelieveable condition and although it looks the goods in the photo's its even better in real life.

She squeezed the seller over the price and picked it up for considerably less than what they were asking.

I have 4 complete long engines in the shed including a factory turbo item. Im planning on building an exchange engine for it running a GT35R, external gate, intercooler, exhaust and controlled by a Vi-PEC plug in.

Will post up some build details when it commences.

So are you building a forklift now?

Maranello Red? ferrari inspirated straight from the factory

i had a vl turbo & ran a bmw m3 (2004 model) from stand still up to 200km & it was dead equal, mine was stock apart from an intercooler & 15psi.

god it was funny though with his paddle shift changing gears frantically whilst im in my auto looking at him in amazement. vl's are very light & quick, just tell stace to watch those brakes (especially after boost as the booster is grossly undersized) & the handling is very scary at high speeds (i almost lost it doing over 100km in a sweeper)

Blaming Stacey for the hidden inner bogan aye Paulie...Thats low man. :(

lol...the fella asked her if it was for her or me. hehe.

Im unsure why you think the bogan in me is actually hidden...i drink Jack, love cars and am a fan of boobs. Bogan through and through id say...lol

Straight older cars are the shiz though.

OHC Head with massive valves and a huge cam, monster single, big auto, slicks, methanol and wheelie bars???

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
