    Adding cruise to a VP auto V6?

    Calais had it so if can find wiring & plugs for it should make life easier & add brake switch. If cable is short probably v8 item so make brake for anyway. Cant hurt to try....it's the one luxury item I'd like on my vp ute lol

    Awd conversion

    Would need flares like an SLR 5000 as vn/p heaps narrower than vy model.....unless put vr/s guards on it which is wider. Only AWD setups seen were on vl models that used skyline gtr front setup...both were done very very differently last one was more of vl shell adapted to r32 floorpan etc

    VB sedan from 8 bolt open (small) Salisbury diff to VL Borg Warner. Tail shaft questions.

    Back half of n/a 6cyl vl or last of vk series had b/w diff will work if you can find one cheap enough

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    Fairly common if they had not had headlight relay kit fitted...we've had more than 10 of them in family but this is first one I've owned with melted fusebox & trashed wiring....this is my fourth or fifth definitely will be the last vk I build & own.
