Hey whats this about RIPV8s being in wellington now? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if you run the vin number though Kris is says 8K198GJ128998L Your car is a Holden SL/Executive Commodore Sedan From the factory it was equipped with the Turbocharged Nissan 3L RB30ET producing 150kw at the flywheel. It was produced in 1987 at the Melbourne plant with a serial number of 28998

Do you happen to know which dealer? I know afew long service guys at a couple dealerships and have always wanted to see if they have the records for the 12 sold...highly unlikely though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey whats this about RIPV8s being in wellington now? Sport was an HDT name for there cars.Strange they would market that car in NZ,Was it taged?Or did GMH try and jump in on the hype? Tag info would be great as I have an HDT register,Also year and month of production if possible.(cuts down looking at over 1800 cars)in the VL range.

I have turned my garage upside down and cant find the panel with the tags on. I has either been thrown out or is still sitting up high on the wall of my old garage in Auckland. Doh Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Brent what if you want to put it back on the road !! lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ive seen a blue-ish grey berlina sedan, genuine mx7/a8 turbo model. was in kaikoura BP last time a came through. was on standard steel rims with them ugly vl hubcaps. i went and checked it out and the guy came out and we had a chat. i had a look under his bonnet and was all genuine. not even intercooled or anything, stocker. the guy was an elderly man that said he bought it in 94. had sheep skin covers on the seats and all.

south island ftw

yeah ill say. when i was in matarangi in coramandel there was this burgundy calais that had been torbo'd. and my dad said he knows where a bt1 interceptor is sitting in a shed but un registered.
