Main thing to remember.....even if your funds do dry up, dont sell it
So long as you have it under cover its not going to deteriorate very much and its better having it stored away knowing your going to do it up, than some muppet buying it and driving it even further into the ground...
Save the VLT's

So your car is going to be 100% original?

Well the car has been at a mechanics since monday and will probably be there for a while longer. Took it in for them to sort out the fuel leak.
Once they pulled everything apart they found that one of the pipes coming off the fuel rail was crushed quite badly. about a 1mm gap. So they sorted out a replacement rail.
They replaced all the hoses, clamps and injector seals. they had a bit of trouble getting it running smooth again but got there in the end to find that one of the injectors leaking.
SO now I need to find 1 replacement turbo injector. If I can't find one in nz new for under 100 Im just gonna get my uncle to bring one over as he will be coming over in 2 weeks.
There is a set of them on Trademe...

However I think you'll find they are RB20et....Genuine VLT should be Brown top and these are Green. May do the job, but most likely a different cc rating.
Has anyone here got a spare vlt fuel regulator and/or a spare overboost valve?
I have a feeling the fuel reg on my vlt is either faulty or the wrong type. Want to test before I buy a new one.
Also my overboost valve has been welded shut, so looking for a new one. If i can't find one ill look into breaking the welds.
the OBV will be hard to find in NZ try these forums or ebay. I sold my spare one back over the ditch be prepared to pay thru your nose if you want standard vlt gear
Just put some new Plugs and leads on it today and its running a lot better now, But still have a petrol smell in the engine bay, which i thought was fixed when i got the injectors sorted earlier.
Going to try to take the OBV to McGregors this week see if they can pop the welds off without damaging it.
If i get an adjustable Fuel Reg whats type would be the best to get?
I've heard the N/a one is slightly different.
Might just get a rising rate 1:1. Any brands people recommend? Don't want to get caught out buying some cheap ebay one.
The fuel smell is very faint, pretty much need to put my nose right up to the fuel rail to smell it, but still annoys me since i got it all checked out at the start of the year.
The car was running like utter **** before i replaced the plugs and leads. Its better now, but i have the rego on hold so didn't want to drive it around too much to test it out. As it was i had a Cop follow me :-S
Hey man nice vl welcome back. remindeds me of my old red
Inspect fuel lines and injectors. I had a faint smell and 5 leaking injectors man for god knows how long. feel around to find the wet spot progress sounds good mate
PS REGULATOR N/A and ET regs bolt to there dedicated fuel rails u cant mix and match n/a reg on turbo rail and manifold (they bolt up diff).
