VT SS 5L Specs

[Mirkz]

Would the engine number be the same as the VN-VS 5L's because it was the last 5L to be made before going to the 5.7 ??
Or is there a way to find out if the engine that is fitted is the original engine that was in the vehicle ?

VicRoads: Vehicle Status Checks
try typing your VIN in there

also i had doubts about mine being an ss because it doesnt have electric windows which is really wierd

Number was given to me by the current owner. I've not taken delivery of vehicle yet.
I'm supposed to be swapping it in the next couple of days for my zx10.

Number didn't show on Vic's site at all.

Sort of concerning if it's been swapped.
I mean it might be all well and good a nice motor, but is it worth doing if the engine has had swapsies.
Thats annoyed me now : (

 

[R1DG3Y]

sorry mate.
pm me the vin number and ill see what else i can find for you if you want

 

[Mirkz]

All good mate, would much rather know now than find out AFTER the deal is done.
At least now I have the choice knowing full well it's a different motor, whether to do the deal or leave it be.
