Lowest VN VIN No. still running

[88GreenVN]

was wondering if you know the first production date of the VG??? cos i got a 1 in 5000ish chance of having an early one... mines early 1990 build

VG's from Aug 90 to Feb 92

Lowest I have is 445196 e/n VH1109924 (End of June 90 on the VN line)
First V8 I have is 468163 e/n VU599184
Last VG I have is 532526 Oct 91.

That to date. Thats on 33 records I have recorded.

88GreenVN, have you come across a VP V8 Calais built before mine yet, build 518564, on 8/8/91?

Because is standard spec suspention.:thumbsup: Only upgrades like FE2 or country pack get stamped.

I considered the VG may have had FE2 as std. Therefore not an option?

Odd. no FE2.

Some of the USA GTO's have the FE2 stamped on the compliance plate. same thing here is it standard or an option? My guess would be the GTO would have FE2 standard.

So it is odd.

cos i has to raise my car to standard height everytime i get defected..... and standard height is 375 mm from centre cap to wheel arch at the front... and 405 mm from centre cap to wheel arch at the rears.... now i can tell you for a fact that it is dangerous driving at that height.....heres how it sits now which is half an inch lower than FE2 spec....

so if someone with a VG S pack can get a pic of their build plate to double check that it isnt stamped on there cos ive questioned transport SA about it and their book doesnt show the VG to ever come out with FE2 when holden says it does
