Hey all, I've had a few VL's on here... I swear I made a thread for this one when I got it a year ago but obviously I didn't.... so here we go! (note: this was all typed when I got the car) Hey all, Here's my new pride and joy that I've had for a few months now tucked away in the garage...

cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean! you know how jealous I am hahaha.... Can't wait for you to dump a charger on it!

Fixed, bit the bullet and went and got a new relay from Supercheap. Will post this up for anyone suffering similar problems, Product No: #6136, SCA Brand 12v, 3 pin (31 -, 49 +, 49A globes) flasher relay. Cost me $20, all good!

Okay just went out, all fuses appear okay. I tried turning the barrel back a little bit and that didn't help (was a long shot I guess). The clock, hazard signals, wipers and interior illumination all work perfectly, it's just the turning signals that don't. The relay is still buzzing, and the...

Hey mate, All bulbs are okay. I'll head out and check the other things in a bit and get back to you, thanks for the tips

Hey all, Had a game of golf with the old man today, was a nice sunny day when we left so I thought I'd take the VL out for a run. Anywho, second corner on our voyage there I noticed something odd about the indicators, the arrow on the dash cluster was just on solid instead of blinking as...

and some more pictures to annoy you all with my double posts: Went out to get some pics on something other than a phone. As usual, after my hard work washing yesterday the heavens opened up but i pushed on and decided to get soaking wet anyway. ^ Tried to get the car in the exact same...

had it out for its first night appearance in a while, still haven't washed it, cant tell here though haha... Went out and bought some new door earth sensors (only 2/4 doors would trigger the interior light and the alarm) and came home with a set of genie's too haha.. Will hit them with a...

hey mate, yeah that was the one! Yeah, theyre a massive improvement over the altezzas. Yeah I've been chasing a catback and some extractors to perk it up, also might be buying a freshly recoed S2 N/A engine from a bloke around the corner to build up while I'm on my P's. As for the headlights...

job done!

I forgot to take a photo before I started, so here's after getting the lights undone: and heres a dummy fit (lights just sitting there, they look a bit funny) Colour is a great match, i was a bit iffy buying without a chance to compare in real life because the amount of fade might not have...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss4ML-JSN1w - blasting some tunes and getting some rediculous number plate/garnish flap. lol@ sun visors at like 0:58. Here's tomorrows project:

So, I'm a photographer and realised every photo I had taken since owning this car was taken on a phone, so got the car out of the garage today to snap a few pics because I wanted a new background ;) haha Nothing special but I thought i'd share anyway. Going to get more once I've given it a...

The recent earthquake in Christchurch is no laughing matter but I literally COULD NOT go past this picture without throwing it up. This is in no way a dig at anyone affected by the earthquake. Have a look at the news pic for this article: CTV Building now 'Ground Zero' Maybe Holden...

Yeah mate that's what I was thinking. The first 2 pictures are a bit misleading coz we were just holding them there loosely, the last pic shjows the difference best. I just tried to show the height difference, excuse the crazy colours, its probably hard to follow but it shows the bit im...

Just asking for opinion here: With my VK Calais tail lights that i've since fallen in love with, I also scored a full set of calais doormoulds complete with chrome (complete steal of a buy) off the same car. They have a few scuffs from storage and would need to be repainted, but ive got a...

Hey mate, I'll try to get a pic of the cluster with lights on tomorrow, didn't think to get one when I did it. On another note, was bored this arvo so gave all the plastic bits in the bay the once over and tidied a few bits up. Doesn't look too bad for a 23 year old donk :P

And here is how the car sits now (just went out and took a shot on my phone just before putting it in the garage)

Thanks for the comments guys, it is very clean but there are a few bits and bobs I want to change on it. Chucked some walky cluster cards in there today just for something different (scored them off fleabay cheap so thought why not) Apoligies for the **** phone pics First impressions are...

hahaha never mind, mods can you please delete I fixed it :P

Hey mate, I'm not sure if I can offer much help but I had a few similar symptoms to you so I'll share my experience and it will hopefully give you somewhere to start: When i got my VL, the central locking was disabled because the drivers side slidelock was busted (and the metal hooks that the...

Hey mate, Thanks for the comments. I was thinking that, either do a nice A8 motor (with a DOHC conversion) or even just build up a V8 and whack that in when I'm off my P's.. they like boost too ;) It's a factory manual (MF5 on the plates, no auto computer loom near steering column) but the...

I was planning on making an update last week but my phone went swimming so I lost all my recent pics which I'm rather gutted about. This is the most recent shot ive got, and even this is about 2 months old: Got a stereo happening finally, it's a cheapish system but I'm happy so thats...

Hey all, In addition to my VL, over the next year or two in my spare time, we're undertaking another Project. Backstory: In 2002, Mum's blue VL Berlina (5LTR, lowered, cammed, grumpy thing) was stolen from our house and never recovered. This is the only picture I can find of it from when she...

haha, not a car, but i had a good laugh AUSTRALIAS WORST PAINTING EVER!!!!! (eBay item 230572728634 end time 18-Jan-11 19:00:39 AEDST) : Art

Thanks very much for the comments guys! I can't wait for next year =D

Well, I thought this place would be absolutely overflowing with shots from the weekend, but it seems I am the first??? Well, I am a first time motorsport shooter here, so be gentle. Shooting the weekend was a secondary consideration. I didn't go out of my way to get great shots, I just...

Nackerz is on the money, the VL's did have VINs. It is the small plate that is the same colour as the engine bay above the compliance plate/build plate. That ENTIRE number is the VIN, it is split into two parts. VL Commodore VIN Decoder - VLTurbo.com ^You can pop it in there and find out a bit...

dunno if Im missing something obvious(ie: what kinda car/trans etc.) or if you guys are looking at the engine a different way, but we were working on my mates VR auto and checked the trans oil while we were at it, and the dipstick was definitely on the left of the enginebay? I thought the VS...

####kkkkkkk! so sorry to hear about your loss mate. Same thing happened with my mums V8 VL about 8 years ago now. Dogs! I hope they find the bastards mate, I really do. Good luck with the new car search, hopefully something good can come of it for you at least, still very disapointing. Did...

Love the car mate.. So clean, love the black, and am a huge fan of the 5ltr :D One thing though, it sort of looks like the engine isn't sitting straight to me(what do I know though). it could be the photo or the angle, but if you look over near the fuse box, the line the rocker cover makes...

Stumbled on this ages ago, but just remembered it and thought it would go well in here, haha I thought it was great.

haha oh and something I just remembered, a few days after I picked it up, I was out with the missus and had to double take at one I saw parked on the side of the road. I was shitting bricks thinking someone nicked it or something as I certainly wasn't in it haha... Same colour, sitting a little...

Well, I picked her up a few weeks ago, goes great! Very solid. I was a bit worried when the temp guage sat above the normal (for my other VL) 2 bars, but I found out the new thermostat is aftermarket, so that explains it a bit. Have done a few hundred k's in her already, the manual box is...
