Ive since bought this car from Richies brother and setting on putting it back on the road.
Have pulled out the RB30 and auto and purchased a smashed R33 skyline to strip its running gear. the vl will receive the manual rb25 engine and box in the coming months and plan to have it together and...
well ive been quite busy getting this ready for powercruise.
firstly ill address the overheating. after much deliberation as to what was causing it to overheat. i had read many problems with people having overheating problems after fitting an aussie desert coolers radiator. i was convinced...

congrats on getting it running mate. you'll be loving cruising around in this after all the hard work!

i picked up some heat socks to go over the spark plug boots. after 4 of the old boots already had cracks in them.
