    hahahaha yeah was about too say.. yeah, it go to the point where in the end, it wasnt going to do what i wanted to do. So i sold it and bought something i can crash into a wall. Got my skyline defected last night.. Coilovers, too low, bald tyres, e.t.c. I have an old jackaroo that needs...

    Okay. I sold the old car and bought a R31. When that gets defected i think ill get a vl as a daily and just keep that for a stock/cruiser. This commodore has so far been the best car I have bought. i took it 4x4ing on local 4x4 tracks, it didnt get stuck! I thrashed it heaps and it still kept...

    The Journey Begins

    More like, best bang for buck. Its really easy to find information on anything RB30 related. You must welcome R31 Skyline Club Wikipedia section as your new best friend when after information. So much helpful information there. But yes, turbo Rb30 is probably the best option if looking for cheap...

    Aww deved mann. You should be able to drive the VH still. The V8 restriction can fu** off. It was you're only car regoed in your name at the time? (hopefully it actually was, or you could say it was and hope for the best) If so, then they cant do ****. You drove it before the law came to effect...

    Vl Project

    Nice mate. yeah, stick with the RB30. Best things for RB30s, Cam, exhaust, timing advanced, inlet and tune, then turbo is also another good addition. Also, converting the na motor to turbo, would be better (In my opinion) than getting an already turboed rb30. When you turbo it, dont...

    Aussie 4speed - Price!

    I was thinking of manualing my VH. I was starting to get prices of around 1k for the full conversion. Pretty sure thats not right, but i never ended up converting to manual. Any tips on where to look for parts, what prices should be paid per part, for other users thinking of planning a conversion?

    put it up forsale along with my wrecked commodore and had a look at a fair bad condition ke70 rolla.. apparently according to the guys i was with, it would be better to take the money i was going to use for purchasing that and then manual my commodore, and also found out that my wrecked...

    VH Turbo? What works? Also auto trans question.

    Hey guys, Just wondering what would happen, other than blowing up my auto trans, if i reved the standard 6 cylender in neutral, then dropped it into drive or low or something.. Would the standard gear kill itself first try? And im thinking of turboing my 202 blue, its bog stock, does the...
