    Default 1994 Holden VR Calais Series 2 V8 5L 304

    Up for sale is my 15/11/1994 Holden VR Calais V8 Automatic Series 2
    Registered till 18/3/2010

    It is Stratos Blue over Grey Two Tone Calais
    Rare Colour on a VR Calais V8

    This car is a Factory V8.

    I have owned this car since June 2008 and brought it dead stock with 209,xxx km on it with owners manuals.

    Selling the Calais now and the Clubby in a month or 2 because i wish to upgrade to a VX SS 6 Speed.

    Was originally driven to work everyday into Melbourne 50km each way 5 days a week from June 2008 to November 2008 when i got a work car the Calais is maybe driven twice a month so only does about 100km a month if its lucky.


    Car has 230,310km on it but apparently had the top end rebuilt at approx 200,000 by previous owner but was unable to provide me a receipt but i have no reason to doubt based on the condition of the engine.

    Car is serviced every 3-5000km with Penrite HPR 15 oil & a Magnetic Oil Filter.

    Sparks Changed Every 10,000km

    Transmission Serviced Every 10,000km

    Brakes Bled every 10,000km

    Brake pads done as required.

    Car is custom tuned by Greenfoam Tuning, Heywood.

    Car was making 150.6rwkw(201.8rwhp) but have had it re-tuned since since it was running a bit rich so power should be between 155-160rwkw(207-214.5rwhp)

    Comes with VRKLAS license plates but not the plastic covers that go over the plates.

    Has the usual shopping carpark scratches and 5c dings in 1-2 places but can't tell unless your looking for them

    Interior is in great condition asides from a hole in the drivers seat from use, getting in and out of the car
    Car has not been smoked in.

    nah car isnt defected, never has been defected either.

    never been in an accident, was stock calais spec when i brought it.

    As for getting it inspect, i dunno, dont know SA registration rules but the items listed is the only things holding it back from Legal RWC as far as i know.

    the aircon runs but it is currently not connected since this particular gilmer kit does not have the pully for the aircon.

    You can buy a new gilmer pully off one of the ebay sellers for $60-70 i remember getting quoted but never got around to it.

    How much does this car weigh? I am trying to figure out if I can drive this on my P's.

    * a power to mass ratio which exceeds 125 kilowatts per tonne; or
    * an engine capacity which exceeds 3.5 litres per tonne of the unladen mass (tare) of the motor vehicle

    this car weighs 1500kg so it is legal v8 under the old p plate laws depending on when you got your license.

    Capacity max: 5.25L and this car is 4.987L
    Engine power: 187.5kw max - this car is a over 200kw at the engine but not like cops have dyno's on them and greenfoam can downpower it easily enough just by modifying the tune.
