    Thread Deletion

    My 87 VL SL 5 Speed

    Nice little starting point here mate. :) Just my opinion, don't go with a VN Diff, I struggled to get any form of low (had airbags and scrubed a lot lol) in mine with the VN diff installed (bourght the car like that). The VN diff is 52mm wider, (26mm a side). I would recommend either using VN...

    HID's in VL question

    Thats not too bad of a deal then, for 100 bucks is roughly the same some places will try sting you for Crystal Visions ect. The white light looks far cleaner. As for new lights, they are very readily available on eBay for cheap.

    HID's in VL question

    HIDs actually use less current than standard bulbs in most cases so I would go a 35W kit and it will actually be better for preventing your fuses to melt. I'd recommomend buying them off eBay you would save a lot of money on the kit. :) The reason he is concerned about melting fuses is VL's...

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    Yeah I guess thats my next option, I want to try to replace the fuel reg first, if its not that I guess its straight off to the Mechanic. Thanks for your help you did help me getting it running slightly better. Out of your list, the fuel reg is the only thing I haven't replaced. Its next on...

    I had superlows in my calais, sat nice and rode quite well too. Nice height overall never had any issues with the boys in blue either.

    my vl wont start

    Well the 4 things you need to start are air, fuel, spark and compression. So with that, I am going to assuming you have compression here as the car has ran before? You have checked fuel, and you have spark. So check you don't have an air line off. Mine big one on the intake pipe fell off a...

    I can vouch for the ebay ones, pretty decent, thats where mine came from.

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    I'm leaning towards that as well, as its more or less the only thing that hasn't been replaced. Its not logging any fault codes on the ECU either which sucks. Anyone know if there is anyway to test the pressure regs on these?

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    Thanks mate, throttle has already been cleaned and I have fitted a clean known good AAC. Any other suggestions? :) As above done AAC and TB. I have checked for vacum leaks, all hoses are on, I reconnected the aircon controls so its not that. I checked the ignition timming but I couldnt get it...

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    Took the dizzy cap off, and they where a bit corroded (didn't think to do that sooner as it was a new cap!), so I did what you said and cleaned them up and idled perfectly until I have it a bit of throttle then it died. Noticed the big air line on the intake pipe had fallen off so refitted that...

    VL Rough Idle, Stalls under acceleration!

    Hi all, bit stumped here hoping for some help. My RB30 VL is running awfully, it will start fine, but will idle very low and rough. If you stab the throttle it will pick up, but if you rev slowly it will splutter and stall. I have replaced the following: CAS & Plug, AFM, CTS, Injectors, Plugs...

    Can a mechanic reject a RWC for this??!

    Power windows not working 'well'. Thats not a R/W Item, a lot of people seem to think it is, but its not, drivers window is the only one that has to work. It doesn't matter if its slow or fast, it just has to work. Door seal peeling (glue it??) All Door Seals must be intact and inplace. Battery...

    Yeah I plan to get another battery and I am pumping the fuel out tonight, I just don't want to get another battery until the car is all ready to go so it doesn't screw up again from not starting for so long. But with the jump pack on I wouldn't have thourght a shitty battery would matter. Its...

    VL Brakes Issue!

    Thats what I meant by normal mate, thats exactly what it does with engine off. But when the car is running, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and only just engages the brakes at about 2-5cm off the floor. It only shows signs of not being right when the engine is running. I think Maybe I...

    VL Brakes Issue!

    Okay so another problem with my car.. lol. But when I put my foot on the brake pedal with the car off it feels normal, like it should. But when the car is running, the pedal sinks all the way to the floor! It still stops the car (not sure how well as I've only tested it going slowly) but it...

    VL Aircon/Heater Issue

    Firstly, I'd like to start off by saying I know simliar questions have been answered before I DID try to search but nothing relevant to my problem. My Vents do work, and do blow out air, but in the wrong places and I can only get face and feet to work (which is fking annoying because I only need...

    Re-attaching side trim thingy

    I just took mine off not long ago its pretty simple I used the fishing line method, and remember as it goes into the front guard the qtr panel one does have a screw in for locating. For repainting, I'd suggest using genuine colour paint, its not hard to get, just get the MX Grey (exec, I'm sure...

    want to get some HID's

    Wel its hard to explain, but, look at your car, you will see, when you put low beam on, the large bulb and the small parker will be on, when you flick to high, another light turns on as well, you dont need to get a hid for that one, but you can if you'd like.

    want to get some HID's

    To legally run HIDs you need Projector lenses, which stops the light from the HIDs scattering (hard to aim) and possibly blinding other drivers. The projector lenses makes sure the light from the HIDs goes where it should, I'd recommend getting them if you plan on running HIDs.

    VY 6x9 installment

    Yes, what you will need to run them amplified is: a line out converter, set of 6x9 speakers, 2 channel amplifier (if these speakers are all you want amped), speaker wire and amp wiring kit. Wire up the amp the same way you usually would, but when you get to the RCAs, splice wires into the rear...
