Hey ive come across a vl, havent seen any pics as of yet BUT here are some details muy plans are to get it regod ,it will require a emissions test not sure about engeneers cert as it is lower capacity to the engine befor Bought this with intention to use as a drifter but got bored ans have new job so looking to spend big on a new project. This thing runs great, starts first time. details as follows 1988 VL Berlina Unregistered Complete engine and driveline conversion from an R32. RB20DET ~ 10psi and 5 Speed ~ 100,000 kms Have been told it has new clutch Body has done 160XXX kms. Most panels are free from dents, has v minor ones on front quarters All exterior bumpers and trims are perfect All glass is perfect, no cracks chips or etching Cream interior, mostly neat but has slight tears, its what you would expect from a car of this age Mods - a/m s wheel Complete autowatch alarm Calais dash SR20 Turbo but also comes with spare RB20 Turbo, no shaft play Front mount Turbosmart BOV Turbosmart manual boost controller Brand new minispool installed 3inch dump pipe to 2.5inch straight through zorst, running 1 rear muffler ( very quiet ) Lowered pedders suspension, very comfortable ( legal height ) Blaupunkt amp with rear 12inch sub, 6x9 in custom rear shelf and 6inch up front to pioneer deck Original color is burgandy over silver but the outside has been hit up with matt black, came up pretty good to. Wouldnt need much work done to reg it as it is very straight and runs mint, doesnt leak oil, comes onto boost nicely aswel. power steering is great. has minor downsides, ie no air con although think the pump is there just no connected. Has pursuit rims on the back and calais rims up front Is it worth it??? oh yea hes asking 3.5k for it ive got a extra $500+$450 to rego it??
