i will try and find a picture of my actual one, as it had plastic chrome hubcaps, but this ones is close enough...owned by my brother on his p's then me before being put to rest by an idiot my dad gave it to. Still by far the most reliable car i've ever owned sadly enough.

Good idea for a thread.

My love of the RB's originated with this prime example VL. Drove the old girl into the absolute ground. Sold it for $500 to some 17yo dreamer with grand plans; 450000k's on the clock, sill under the front drivers door, rear windscreen pillar and around the front windscreen seal was completely rusted out. If you tapped it hard enough you would nearly put your hand through it.....had some wicked times on the dirt road you can see in the background (and in the back seat) :P

This SLR 5000 was my first car back in 1992. From then I owned about five more V8 Holden's. I wish I had of kept the SLR going by the prices they fetch these days.

I converted to skylines about 6 years ago after being taken for a ride in one. The following week I had my VT geniii up for sale. Have never thought about getting another V8 since

Cool 1st cars....

Mine was a 1988 VL Holden Calais series 2.

Original owner who had bought it from Barry Smith Holden in Castle Hill.

Champagne Gold and only had 114,000kms and was immaculate when I bought it in late 2000.

I actually really like the car. But as my brothers were rev heads I got bored of the power way too quickly. Put it in the trading post when I decided to sell it and was sold that Thursday morning by 11am

2nd car was a 87 Mazda 323 run around while I was thinking of what to buy.

3rd was a Holden Astra Equipe brand new which I made money on...

4th was a brand new 2002 Subaru WRX. It was the end of the bug eye shape so got an awesome deal on it.. Had that for just under 2 years.

5th was a 1991 R32 GTR in silver in 2004 which ran a best of 11.9 and back then was pretty damn quick.

6th was R34 GTR in bayside blue..

While owning that I had a few run around cars. 2 Ford Laser's which were awesome little cars.

Then had a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9.

And now a 2011 Nissan X-Trail and a 1998 Mitsubishi Magna.

Next car is probably gonna be a Lamborghini Gallardo most likely a UK one cause they are gonna be more in my price range.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
