VR6 #5 aka The Unicorn

[VR28LT]

I swore to myself that i never would get into another mk3 but ever since a very good mate of mine got back into one the desire to get back into a VR6 started to snowball inside of me. I must say that ive always had what you could consider a good run with these cars as i know alot of others have shed alot of tears with theirs..... well to cut a long story short this is my latest VR6 which i had been searching for roughly 6 months to purchase. I had to fly up to Brisbane to pick this one up as from a fella named Stephen aka Aus79, besides some stone chips on the bonnet, a few little car park dings and a worn drivers seat the condition of this car is in very good original condition. Had 169k on the odo with new timing chain kit, new clutch kit, freezing cold aircon and a new heater core. On the trip back she didnt miss a beat and driving it back brought back many good memories doing interstate trips in what was my favourite car ever my old white vr6. Anyways atm im going over everything as i prepare it for its nsw rego so it needs to pass a blue slip, luckily for me the only thing that needs attention is the damn pcv valve which is pretty common in these cars. Plans for the future are a respray, Recaro seats, a set of H&R ultra lows, an old school sound system (something from the 90s like Alpine and Rockford Fosgate equipment), smoked ecodes, hella fogs, some cams, a full Magnaflow system and heaps and heaps of different wheels

when did you have #2 and #3?

Both cars i had whilst i owned my white one.... it was probably 2011ish

The Grey one was involved in a prang the running gear went into the making of a 2 door VR6 and the shell ended up with Sarah who then put her running gear in from the one she had that got written off

The Green was bought silly cheap off someone who could not afford to fix the slipping auto, it ended up with a manual conversion and i believe Smeebs old man still has it and its going well

Ive ordered a few things from overseas mainly service items in bulk but the thing im waiting on before i take it in for inspection is a fresh pcv valve.... Whilst everything was pulled off i gave the throttle body a good clean and noticed that the intake elbow had quite a bit of oil in it! Are any of you guys running a catch can? Im considering putting one in but im not sure if its best to just vent into the can and block off the port on the elbow or to have that connected?

I vented mine straight to atmosphere using a filter, i do want to chuck a catch can on thought to reduce smells. Depending on the person doing your blueslip they may not accept a catch can, especially if it's vented to atmosphere.

Hit me up if your interested in some second hand 262 cams for this. I'll be going to something bigger soon.

Did want to go 268's but if the price is right 262's could be a good starting point

Much difference going from stock setup to a 262 cam?

So i headed off to Pick n Payless because i heard there was a wrecked VR6 out there and im in desperate need of a pcv valve for my blueslip! To my very surprise there were quite a few Dub's mainly mk4s but also a few mk3's including the VR6 i heard about. Unfortunately for me the pcv valve was not in good shape but i did manage to grab a few bits n pieces for $50 including a coil pack which actually looks like it was just put on recently and a glovebox...... Love how easily it is to get parts for these cars in 2015 lol

This is what $50 gets you at Pick n Payless hahaha

This made me a little sad another VR6 biting the dust



Motor had already been ripped into but i guess no one had an allen key on them to take the shiny coil pack ha!



This CL was mint! I have no idea why it was here but it had low kms and it was clean.... would of been great for a VR6 conversion

268's need HD springs, I'll be building a new head so want to upgrade.

Good gains with the 262's , ran 120kw atw.
