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.

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
