Your car is a Holden Berlina Wagon From the factory it was equipped with the Turbocharged Nissan 3L RB30ET producing 150kw at the flywheel. It was produced in 1988 at the Adelaide plant with a serial number of 5XXXX Although my rego says its a '87 model.

what if the cars missing that plate, is there another way to find that code?

sorry for my noobish comment but i am currently looking at buying a vl calais and asked the buyer to send me the vin and got this: AVL017778A. to my understanding, the vin for a vl is 14 characters long, not 10. could someone help me please an sorry if i posted in the wrong place

That's the number on the strut tower. Look at the first post. Next to the fuse box there will be three Id tags. 2 silver ones and one smaller one above them that should be the same colour of the car. That is your vin no. Ps vicroads don't need or record that number. They use a number on the bottom of the silver tag on the right.

Ok so mine has come back with the non turbo version berlina...It has been registered in Victoria (mildura) several times and has had the turbo conversion on it for a while apparantley....Does this mean it WONT pass rego in NSW because of the turbo conversion? OR because it has been registered before with the conversion done will it or is there a possibility it will still pass rego? PS...it has the Nissan Turbo tappet cover on it aswell as the turbo badges all over it...(If that helps lol)

its all good had it checked out today by the bloke who will be doing the roady on my car and he said its all good to go...bring on tax return time so i can actually get this wild thing on the road!! Show some of these big headed V8 boys a thing or two haha
