stone racing in sydney not wa.that was old motor and that was shit house the only thing it had that was good was the pistons and cam shit it had a stock head gasket etc on it lol.


now im running a motor that has seen 20 thou km of boost i just cleaned it up got the head cleaned pressure tested and faced,lapped the valves in put my wade 818b in it droped it all back in and shes running sweet no blow by no smoke no rattles or knocks im very happy man

[plymouth_hemi_69]

**** this thing is sick bro im gunna paint my vn shortly to black as well match my vs but im only gunna do a closed door spray

[detox_nath83]

geez they r a sexy looking car...... still got the best shape in the commodore range

[nasty1]

yep vl's are by far one of the nicest.maybe its cause it runs a nissan motor but if they came out with the 202 i wouldnt have brought one lol.

well took it for another quik spin today still needs a tune but still very driveable still bags them when comin on boost.rego for it tomorow and will go for a cruise and just check over the temp and oil pressure.im having withdrawl symptons about parting with it now lol

[nasty1]

vn's are nice mate black would suit it nicely ive had a few vn ss's and vn aero's i still wouldnt mind another.

next build will be vh grp 3 rep,vk blue meanie,another vl turbo or vn aero replica

[Rolla_Rolla']

[nasty1]

thank you very much all feedback is welcome guys damn i dont wana part with it now lol

[nasty1]

bit of an update .

head of as the copper head gasket didnt like sealing cause block isnt oringd.so im goin with maybe a cometic gasket or 2 genuine nissan gaskets.

and of course some genuine vx gts 19s getting ready for the vl nationals yeahhh

[nasty1]

[87 AVL]

black with the red interior and now the gts 19s would have to make your vl one of my favorites

[nasty1]

thanks mate much apreciated.

although im a bit disapointed in the pic qaulity but tonight when sun starts going down ill get some better pics.

just got the rims yesterday fitted them this morning.

hsv vx gts 19s + black paint + red trim= class lol

i was stresing cause the 2 rear tyres are 245 didnt know how they would fit but they clear the gaurd by a finger width nearly so im happy
