nice car mate, looks clean.

i rekon Genie extractors, and a full Lukey exhaust.

and mate does ur engine make a ticking sound? coz mine does and its driving me nuts.

**TUF UTE** · 21-02-2009, 10:05 PM

nice vl SL by the looks of it ... good clean first car mate. look after her. and yes it is a rb30e. same motor as a r31 skyline.

Exhaust . go 2.5 inch.... with a high flow muffler and extractors and pod filter just to begin with

and vl's are notorious for ticking noise.. just the lifters/rockers need to be adjusted depending on the level of the noise. most likely its just noisy injectors

**john_mete** · 21-02-2009, 10:13 PM

ahh thanks mate, sorry for going off topic guys but thats the best answer any1 has given me lol

**TUF UTE** · 21-02-2009, 10:32 PM

as advice i gave to someone else. if its a loud noise... get a big screwdriver and use it as a stethascope and listen to each injector and see if one doesnt make noise. if you find that it means one cylinder isnt firing and its just hitting the plug. but yeah a long handled screwdriver is the auto stethoscope. you can listen all over the motor and find exactly where noises are coming from.

**seans VL Calais** · 25-02-2009, 09:10 PM

there is a guide to polishing the calais mags on calais turbo.com its a little more involved than just using some polishing cream. for exhaust id go extractors ( i picked up some homebrad ones for $50 and they still sounded great) hiflow cat and then 2.1/4 system with rear resi removed. That will give a nice note. def need some vk berlina rear lights or something and black rear garnish..

hey guys,

recently i have noticed after drivin my vl (like when stopped)
it has a very hot/burny smell? bit concerning i think?

if anyone has had similar problem or solution it would be much appreciated

thanks for your time

wetz.

**Jo3_Blo** · 09-04-2009, 10:42 PM

Maybe your brakes?

Oil from your engine? (eg, oil leak or something, and then burning off on the exhaust manifold?) I dunno........just a few ideas.

yeh man checkd all the leaks n stuff but cld be the brakes?

the car runs the exact same just thort the smell was a bit concerning lol

**Jo3_Blo** · 24-04-2009, 12:42 AM

Yeh could be brakes. Have you done any work on em at all recently?

Brakes usually have a distinct smell - if you've ever smelt the brakes smell before you'll know.
