Thats strange nick. you have 35 in the body shape. That should work. Where you have a Z, traditionaly that should be a number to go with the letter in front of it as part of which factory your car was built in. i just had a go with 35 for body in the calculator and I get an error too. Must be something wrong with the calculator.

ok my bad, my handwriting is terrible. it is a 2 not a Z.

updated it a bit tonight, might work a bit better now. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

works heaps better now. make sure you put a L at the end to make it 14 characters Your car is a Holden SL/Executive Commodore Wagon From the factory it was eqipped with the Non-Turbo Nissan RB30E producing 114kw at the flywheel.

It was produced in 1987 at the Melbourne plant with a serial number of 18225 first time i typed it in i got it all wrong and i thought it was'nt a genuine turbo and i was getting worried coz the guy i bought it off said it was, now i did it correctly i am happy! pays to double check what you do!

im tripping out today i got this from a vlt where it said v/n vl8vk19-A8q now i entered it as said and nothing comes up i can see some things are matching with the 19 and i know that turbo motors end with A8 can anyone help?

vltrb-0: it wont work with that at all... its the numbers and letters above the vin plates thats how the Vin Calculator works...
