haha tuff the realistic option should have been to put the Rb25 from the VL in the ricerine and build the RB30/25 for the VL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Feeling an RB30/25 for the VL. 25ET. Believe it.

i think you should do too many burnouts in the VL so it spins a bearing too

Well, at least it's nice and clean still! We had a car show on the weekend so the VL got some lovin' and despite being driven through the rain to work every day this week she's going alright Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

needs pinstripe BAD!

Needs a lot of things bad! But yeah, pinstripes are on the list....

liam with all your extra workload now im surprised there is a list still haha i agree with misk tho engine swap and bigger turbo 4 u

Such a nice car, pity there is not as many Berlina's and Exec's with this much effort into them.

Well, just in time for Sydney Powercruise my tailshaft cried 'enough!' - and rightly so, we picked the tailshaft up two years ago as a wrecker special and knew it was on it's way out then, but after two years of abuse (racing, burnouts and street duties with the locker) it died. We lunched everything - unis, centre bearing... the lot! This meant a trip to Sydney Driveline Services. What I dismissed as a pretty medial part of the driveline is actually incredibly technical and is an area I urge people to focus on as they push their power figures. Sydney Driveline fabbed us up a new 2.5in tailshaft with new, beefier unis and yokes at either end - all the good gear! The difference it made was unreal: no more funky noises, and more importantly the car is so much smoother on the road. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You should paint your dish red

Dish... LOLz!

Good work, very tasteful build. What about blacking-out Your window frames?

I don't know how it would look... would hate for people to think it was just a Calais without the flip up front

Berlinas have black window frames, You have the berlina rear end, just completes the theme..

It may come, then, depending on what my VL consultant and fellow spool enthusiast Mavson Drewett believes. For the meantime I'm more focussed on filling what's behind the windows with diamond-stiched red leather trim, then cutting the springs so a set of gold AMEs see more time under the guards...

Major 2SUS Spec Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

liam i had a silver berlina and from factory had blacked out window frames dude

berlinas most definitely have black window frames from factory, i say do it! anyway, any updates? im keen to see this tuckin gold ame's, but im way more keen to see this diamond stitched red leather interior! *drools*

Finally got around to racing again! Bettered the dismal 14.4 we clocked at Heathcote last year and first run at WSID last night ran a 13.8, which we bettered the next run with a 13.7 , and cracked 100mph. I know, go me! Also clocked a 1.9 60ft which I was pretty happy with. The night ended too early though as we blew a little oil into the top end which wept down onto the coilpacks resulting in a misfire that we just couldn't shake. Side by side burnouts with my best mate! And a cool shot of my mate's R33: I know I say this every post but I really need to get proactive about the Microtech! Will return to the track with the computer situation sorted as well as a compliment of gauges and a catch can to avoid early endings like last night.

I would eat dinner off your engine bay.
