  1. I will check tomorrow is there any other ways to find out if its been converted or not? Had it on hoist today it all looks very clean and tidy underneath
  2. I was told it was factory turbo? Could be wrong it does have a red engine bay tell me more about this car
  3. Yes was on trademe for a while not sure why it didn't sell it is fricken immaculate runs like a dream too... For now have gone with the 15s still haven't got tyres for the mk2s yet but I think I'll keep them for my Datsun
  4. Today I replaced the alt belt and the power steer one as they were pretty rooted, also put on the 15s they suit it nicely I reckon 15x8s +20 brand new 195/50/15s brand new Was driving from Nelson to blenheim today and was just about in havelock and for some reason the accelerator cable jammed on something and I was going about 115ks and the car started to red line and I panicked and tried to brake but the car kept on wanting to speed up so I turned off the ignition and braked into side of road, was very lucky because it was pouring rain and I was on a straight and not a corner, popped the hood and un jammed it and was on my way again couple of cable ties for a temp fix until I got home, very releaved! Other than that the car runs really good and handles nice noticed it has full new notholane bushes throughout suspension which is good

  6. Purchased this bad boy the other day, super stoked with it 12a turbo freshly rebuilt running 5 psi factory boost LSD 5 speed Recently been painted creamy white Will upload some better pics soon I am in a delima ATM with wheels I have to put on possibly Ssr mk2 13x6.5/7s Performance mini lites 14x6 And these 15s came with the car Or just leave it standard ? My first rotary so any tips n tricks would be helpfull
  7. Wheels are here, no description needed enjoy the photobomb Ended up going with 13s as the 14s sold 13x6.5 and 13x7 fit really good just need some new wheel nuts to fit?? Can't wait till she's done!!!!
  8. I have just realised my car has class b rego? What does this mean ?
  9. oh i forgot to put an update in for that, had all the rust removed, will get pics when im with the car next, the usual spots like the bottom of the doors, sills, top of screen had a patch, was all cut out and new metal was welded in rust proofed and primerd, been through 2 warrents with no worries before i got rust done, just wanted to get it perfect before p&p wasn't too much rust anyway no where near as much as the old mx73 i used to own
  10. a15 was pretty straight forward nice wee upgrade, just need to change the exhaust flange as the a15 manifold has 3 studs and the a12 has 2 i just cut and welded the a15 one onto the a12 exhaust, sedan grille is exactly same as factory grille, and with the chin spoiler yes it did just mocked it up and then drilled 6 small holes was a mk1 vw golf chin spoiler by memory

  12. Hi guys have posted a thread before but it was all messy so have decided to post a new one Discus please: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38238-damz-vb210-wagon-discussion/ This is a quick overview of what i have done to the car over the last 6-8 months Here is some pics of it the day i got it came with no wof/reg on hold, got it road legal and used it as a daily Then decided to put an a15 in place of the a12 Added some fender mirrors, a duckbill spoiler and gave the grill a paint and a got a NOS badge from ebay The grille didn't last long as i found a sedan grille that i liked a lot better Sourced a 5-speed off trademe Made a x-member out of a r32 skyline x-member, did my best not the most awesome fab skills as i am only learning but it will do. Stoked with the revs at 100kms dropping from 3.5 to 2.5 Decided it was time to lower the front Used b310 strut tops and cut one coil dropped it 40mm Before After Sits slightly lower now after driving it around And last week i started pulling bits and pieces off the old girl so she could get a 'wee' makeover Is now currently in the tedious process of getting it panelled for a full respray engine bay inside boot door jams etc..Am going to paint the window frames black Also this photo here gives a indication of the colour it will be for those interested Got a bit excited with the whole makeover thingy so decided to get these They are en-route to New Zealand will take around 60-90 days though 13x6.5/7s Ssr MKII's That is all for now, stay tuned for pics of panel&paint once that is complete and wheels have arrived i will look at engine modifications
