Hey guy's,

Make / Model: 1988 VL SL

Colour: Alpine White over MX Grey

Exhaust: 2.5" system

Gearbox: Stock 5 speed manual

Suspension: Lovell springs on stock shocks

Wheels/Tyres: 16" VE Interceptors on Kenda tyres

Interior: Calais Interior

Stereo: Pioneer headunit + Clarion 4" in front and 6x9 in rear, 12" Kenwood sub in Boot powered by a Pioneer Amp.

Central locking + Alarm, Aircon + Powersteering. Been a very very VERY reliable car in my year of owning it, has 202,xxx km's. Few more things that I'm sure I'll remember and mention then.

Also have a spare diff, vl turbo brakes and master cylinder ready to go on, original SL Interior, Original Dash Cluster and Headlights, Can also include everything needed to go back to Non Turbo.

Buy some VLT Injectors and VLT computer for under $300 and wind up the boost on petrol and make 215rwkw.

Car is currently tuned for Straight Gas, runs well with the turbo setup, 160rwkw for $30 a week.

Will only swap for R32/R33/Silvia NON TURBO or possibly a newer commodore - willing to put cash on top also.

Otherwise will be looking for $6,000.

Can include plates for extra.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
