Some may think it's a stupid idea, but just post that, thanks, brad Well I went cruising by my self yesterday, so I guess that my Club is pretty exclusive at the moment because I'm the only one in it. Meremere was Ok only about 30 cars running. Track was really slippery and any rear wheel drive car with any power had a hard time of getting traction. Fastest of the day that I saw was a Blue R34 Skyline GTR with huge bronze Rayz racing wheels on it , was running in the 12's . After the drags I cruised out to Pukekohe Park race track as the Commodore Car Club was having their 3rd round of the winter sprint series, you guys would have got to see Brent, Who was HSVSUX on this forum race his VL turbo calais, this thing flies and he is the guy who did my Coil over Suspension and Wilwood Brakes. Well as usual I am always active and out in my car so if anyone wants to join in give me a ring, not fun cruising by my self all the time. Cheers Kris

sorry kris, my laptop packed up a couple of days ago and i missed the thread, would have been keen too, got the dash most of the way in and hopefully be out soon, will hook up then and get the rest of these guys out somewhere and put faces to cars.

I got home about 4am ish, slept until around 1:30 so i couldn't go sorry. I'll definately be keen next time though : >

I would be keen to go for a cruise to Auckland have been meaning to for sometime.. So if you Jaffas are keen let me know a day time and place and I will definitley be there!!! Real keen to have a look at your car Kris, see if you can jack up Brent to see his beast too!

Yea i'm keen for a cruize in town or something one weekend. Kris took me for a ride in his beast. Had a smile on my face for the rest of the day Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey guys, hows things Brad: i have a std VL turbo jatco here cheap, have a bigger forward servo assembly and can fit a shift kit if you want also a 3500rpm hi stall converter - dominator brand. used twice if ur keen Cheers Brent

Hi there, Mind me asking what a jatco is? lol sorry : <

His old loggin name was HSVSUX, Now NZ VLCT. Any of you NZ guys have questions or want quality custom work for your VL , Brent will have probably done it, seen it or had to fix it. He really knows his stuff even the Ozzies Listen to him, plus he is a great guy to boot. Cheers Kris

OH right, awesome! So it's auto? Because i really want a manual. I'm just sticking with my auto for now until i have the funds to buy a 5spd. Have to get a spacer plate to drop the compression a tad. And will only be able to run 8psi max i was told until i get the decompression done properly. Also did you get my email about the brass elbow kris? Do i need this off the turbo when converting my n/a? Just said that because someone else might know if i do need it or not. Its on the end of the waterline apparently.

Right lads, the dash is 90% of the way in the car, and the laptops running again.......can i join your exclusive club kris?, im local to papakura being in botany,im working this weekend but see what the weathers doing may have to leave the garage.

Always looking for new members, so more the merrier.What the specs on your car?, just had another mate buy a V8 Calais mannual with 133,000 kms on the clock meant to be in mint condition. He picks it up on Sunday.

Its on the end of the waterline apparently. Brent can you confirm this as Brad has brought my factory Turbo, plenum ,throttle body etc to turbo his N/A Calais. Not sure what I need to keep or what will be changed to put on the GT35/40 turbo. Brad we will sort it out anyway. Guys meeting up with Kamakaze from Hamilton on saturday, he is running in his new engine and wants to see my car, May be we can have a cruise down to Hamilton and see the sights. Car finally goes to get the interior finished this Saturday , as my daily drive calais crapped out on me had to use the turbo to get to work. can't wait to get the interior in, then it horsepower time, yeha. Cheers guys, Kris
