Nice pics, looks like there were a lot of nice VL's there. Quote: Originally Posted by HDTCAL It's a VG30 from 300ZX or a V8 nissan infinity motor... I can garantee that it is not a VG30 My bet is that it's a LEXUS V8. SiM Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that is the lexus v8 engine in VL400 you can easily tell by the quad cam heads, the inlet manifold and the TRC sticker on the box near the throttle body

No the Group A's came out with Black taillights like the VK Berlina ones. Similar to the VL Berlina taillights with the black pinstriping, but a full black garnish and black all around the taillights instead of grey.

Yep, VL400 definitely has a Toyota/Lexus V8. Known as the 1UZ-FE. Thats what the 400 stands for in the "VL400" - 4 litres. Damn nice engine. I'm wondering whether that car belongs to someone on the Lexus v8 forums i spoke to a few times - goes by the name of "MaxPower"

Everyone of those cars are very bloody nice. Not a bad one in the lot. That Lexus motor is a damn good choice. In the states they get some very big numbers out of them. They make blower manifolds for them too. (6/71 style) mmmmm
