1987 Holden VL Berlina - with rego. Has rb25 engine number on the rego slip.

RB25DET 5speed, using rb25det box.

Engine has had the 100ks service done 7 months ago, not sure on exact K's of motor. Was told it would be around 110,000ks now.

I have quite a receipts for the work done, including the head gasket work, 100ks service, tune and dyno runs plus a whole heap from replacment parts. ( headlights, taillights, interior peices etc )

The dash has stopped at 105 ***ks (series 2 dash)

ACL Gasket kit, using 1.3 metal HG.

New Belts/Plugs and fluids + Oil Filter

Front mount intercooler.

Full 3" Exhaust.

HKS Mushroom filter.

VLT Ally rad + Also have Twin AU Fans and Davies Craig controller ready to go on when needed (Still Brand New)

Manual Boost Controller, been running at around 9psi since i bought the car. Dyno run shows 190kw, tuned by TurboTune

4.11 LSD with DBA slotted rotors - starting to whine abit.

Koni adjustable rear shocks

Kings super low springs, Re-set 35mm lower

Had a heap of bushes that needed replaceing redone with Superpros - have receipts for work

Front strut assembly using pedders (short stroke) inserts, with King Ultra lows.

AC Delco 180LPH in-tank pump

Wahlbro external pump

The car is not perfect,

Was resprayed back in 07 in Passion Red, still looks great. Has a few little scratches here and there but nothing to serious.

The steering has a bit of a shutter when coming to full lock.

Diff and Tailshaft starting to make a slight noise, havent really looked into it yet.

There is also a small hole right in the top of the fuel tank, previous owner said he tryed to mount his amp through it or something, there is a screw in there from him, seems to keep pretty much most of it in there.

Price is 9000 Neg

Maybe interested in swaps for a R32 4 door, S1 S14 or something of interest.

Feel free to PM me an offer or any other questons/Pictures you would like.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
