    i hadnt either untill i brought my VN

    and because weve had v8's all our life i decided to do something different in memory of my dad and as im doing little bit of it myself i wanted to do something to stand out cause not many females over here do this kind of thing

    I didn't even know these existed either. I have just gotten rid of my VN...... Was a 6 tho. Are you sure you want to "Nismo" your Holden????

    Fair call though if its a throwback to your dad... Hope the conversion goes well. make sure you let us know how you get on with it!

    I wish i knew about VN luke when i still had mine. So many opportunaties missed.

    The VP update of 1991 featured mainly cosmetic changes; the same revised 3.8 litre V6 and 5.0 litre V8 engines from the VN were carried over. The 2.0 litre straight-4 previously available in New Zealand was discontinued. Exterior cosmetic changes included a translucent acrylic grille on the base level Executive.Semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension became standard on the Calais and SS, but was made an option on lower-end models in lieu of the live rear axle, improving ride and handling.

    i would consider sticking with the 4 like a few guys said and charging it it would be different and may find that will produce good power i suppose it depends what your after hows a 400 hp 4 in a vn sound im sure you would embarrass a quiet a few little revheads when you beat them and then pop the hood

    i wont tolerate cretins aiming to cause problems here at jc and nor will i hesitate to let the moderators know
