Well havnt updated in a bit,
Car didnt go to the drags and also didnt see the dyno lol. Nothing wrong with it just things didnt go to plan but ah well get that some times.
So am still waiting to see a power figure, we do still need to play with the timing a bit as I think we can get a bit more into it, currently on 21 degrees on full boost.
This weekend I decided to replace my headlights finally, with a mint pair of genuine holden headlight I had come across. The old ones were stuffed on the inside, pretty much no reflective coating left, while I was there I put a new set of globes and parkers in. Brightest ADR approved lights Narva make, ment to be 20% whiter and 80% brighter.
what they looked like,
1 swapped over
Finished product
Looks much better and the best part is I can actually see at night now lol. Big improvement

Thanks guys. I'm hoping I havnt just made it complete cop bait by getting the plates. But really wanted to get them after I thought of them. Guess time will tell lol.
well car is currently up for sale but havnt really had anyone serious yet. thinking of keeping it, dunno will see what happens.
Last weekend i went to u pull it and found a vl berlina with red trim :O so i grabbed the auto surround, ignition barrel surround (cast piece), and the top plastic trim that goes behind the collum, to replace my painted pieces. I had also previously bought the main dash piece that sits under the pad, houses the cd player etc.
so i pulled the dash apart and replaced all the pieces, looks much nicer now and also was able to fit my dvd player better, sits much nicer.
oh and also fitted a momo colapsable boss kit to replace the solid cheap one. will get some pics up this weekend.
ok so have decided to keep the car. runs out of rego end of this month and will be coming off the rd for a while.
planed mods are as follows,
Turbo upgrade, unsure exactly what yet, most likely gt35/40, stayling low mount
Cam, thinking something decent like wade 1147c
forward facing plenum
hidden 300x600 cooler with piping to suit plenum
Z32 AFM
Possibly MLS headgasket, Head Studs
Then a decent tune, hoping to see around the 270rwkw
good to hear
I didnt think it would be easy to sell this thing after the amount of work you have put in.
Your car is the platform i aim for as far as general neatness and detail goes. I aim for my engine bay to be as tidy as yours.
Keep it up

well took the vl off the rd this weekend, started striping the bay thismorning, only spent a few hours on it, will hopefully get it done through out the week, planning on sending the car in next week for the bay to be painted.
all the circles in texta are around the holes ill be getting welded up. not going all out in the bay just battery tray removed and tidyed up a little bit.

plenum is a fake rajab style.

did you remove your wiring loom first or are you leaving it connected until the engine is out.
Just trying to decide what is easiest at the moment
Its looking good, how much did the fake rajab plenum cost you?
