VLs are the best '1st car' i reckon, got a bit of poke and they last for ages....

Thats an impressive engine bay for sure!

However the red rocker cover with high mount GT35/40 would also look impressive :P

I hope the body/interior on your VL is nearly as good as the engine bay?!

Heres a couple of pics of the exterior aswell as the interior. :D

I know the plates seem a bit silly on a near stock N/A 5 Speed which is why im getting rid of them next year when the rego runs out. :)

Also the tacho is getting the boot aswell. :)

I want to try to keep it as classy and as clean as I possibly can.

cheers guys, the purple vl i sold at the start of this year and its now running the stagea rb25 with a z32 300tt 5 speed, and i took the 26 out and its in the stagea.

the guy who bought it used to come on here occasionally, but i havent spoke to him since the sale, so i dont know whats the go with it now.

looked nice and went hard and sure turned heads, but cops also turn their heads so i decided to sell for something with abit more modern parts inside and the sleeper appearance plus 4wd traction, as i couldnt imagine leaving the purple vl anywhere at shops or outside nightclubs or something, some wanker would scratch it or even steal it.

my aim was a feature in zoom or street commodores with that car but i had soo many issues in the 3 years of the ownership i didnt get it running correctly before i changed my mind to go with a stagea.

cheers

Brad

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
