OTHER INFO: Up for sale is my VT II Berlina 5.7, which is in almost excellent condition for its model.

I cannot fault the car on anything really but below I will put up it's minor blemishes that people could pick up on if they viewed the car..

Bad Points:

1) The boot has what looks like very very minor hail dents (maybe up to 5 or 6) that you can see when its washed and looking from a certain angle.

2) Previous owner had a push bike handle bar put a little mark and dent next to the RH tail light where it meets the quarter panel. 20c piece size

Like I said, they are nothing really but these are all factored into the price and why I have not put EXCELLENT condition in this sales ad.

Good points:

EVERYTHING else about the car is brilliant and works like new. The GenIII motor does not have the oil problem that some had or it was recalled and fixed by Holden. Either way the engine runs PERFECT and does not miss a beat. NOT ONE LEAK anywhere in engine bay or under carriage. Uses 10.5L fuel in city traffic and a recent drive to Newcastle got 9.3L on highway.

I previously owned a VZ SS 5.7 and myself and family have all mentioned how much smoother this VT is mechanically. Paint is perfect and has zero fade. Drives great with no noises or vibrations.

I personally believe this car is easily on par with the power of my dyno tuned VZ SS 6SP which has 243rwkw. I don't know if this VT has had a tune in the past but it has alot of grunt and sounds pretty tough.

Modifications:

* SS Inductions Growler kit

* FOX 18" black wheels with red walls

* King Spring Super Lows all round

* 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 exhaust (No extractors)

* Complete VX Calais suede/cloth seats and door trims with working driver & passenger 8 way electric seats.

* Brand new water pump with built in thermostat (2 weeks ago)

* Pioneer head unit with USB/MP3

* Heavy duty detachable towbar

Safety:

* Has factory fitted driver passenger airbags and side impact airbags in the seats.

This car will not disappoint on inspection and is an excellent daily driver or weekend cruiser. I have done plenty of long trips in hot and cold weather and it has not let me down.

Earlier this year I moved out of my apartment and I towed a full trailer, with full boot and filled the interior cabin up with all my belongings (on current springs) and it went from Sydney to Bargo without a problem.

My thread won't let me edit my ad, but the SS GROWLER INDUCTION is NOT included just to be clear. It belongs to a mate and was just the only engine pic I had and it's no longer fitted!

Will take $6500 no less. Already going well under what I paid and the car is in better condition since I bought it.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
