Shakotom Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Front callipers from a VN commodore with FE2 suspension. (Same as VL turbo/VN V8) with VL turbo/VN V8 rotors And 1 in master should be beyond adaquet for the mighty turbo Starfire power Could also possibly got to VT master with VR?VS? Plastic booster if you really feel like it. Supposedly its a step up brake performance wise again. (I'm going to that master/booster combo eventually) Edit: more info here --->http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=134762 Double edit: VN diff is about 20mm wider each side than your rear end. VL is like 10mm each side. Best option in my opinion would be either VL diff and then swap VN disc backing plates ect on to it. (FYI 6 cylinder axles will slot into your diff) Come to think of it, I've got a disc rear end from one of those early girl Commodores [VH] kicking round my house I'm pretty sure... Where are you located? I'm in Auckland. You can have for say $100?

Its an open diff, 5x120 pcd came out of a vh calais? (Neal can confirm) should bolt in no problem Note: unlike the four cylinder diff your car has, this one has sway bar mounts also!!!! but youll need to weld on sway bar mounts onto the body of your car to run it im pretty sure because my stupid 4 cylinder VK doesnt have rear swaybar mounts on the body and thats on my list of things to do. Your diff has the u bolt style attaching point for the drive shaft correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hopefully I might be able to help you out with the upholstery side of things. I'm heading to big city katikati on the 25th if you wanted to catch up and I can have a closer look give you some ideas and what not?
