that's so nice. i hardly ever like VLs coz people always just wack on turbos, so damn boring - that however is and sounds wicked, nothing beats the sounds off lumpy cammed sttraight 6s. specially cool to see a wagon being tinkered with too.
Just realised your off Calaisturbo mate!! I found your thread write up, was reading through it and watched the exhuast note video, and saw this as related videos. I read all the build, very very cool.
when it was in my speedway car it kept breaking drive train. 2 gearboxes 3 clutchs. may of uni's a tailshaft. tore the teeth off the pinion and stripped the spline out of a mini spool. it was a animal, and all while sitting on 9500rpm
I bought the head built for $800 off a mate who paid around $1250 getting it built.
To build a freshly built engine with this kind of work you wont get much change out of $3000 with a heavy duty clutch but it will last forever if done properly :)
This has more than enough grunt for me as a daily driver and is hassle free and reliable, the biggest increase you get with this work is revs mainly, loves to rev!
is it a waggot cam ?

Awesome video. It sounds elite.
Do you know if the head needs to be machined at all to take such a cam?

thats the top end of my old race motor.
when it was in my speedway car it kept breaking drive train. 2 gearboxes 3 clutchs. may of uni's a tailshaft. tore the teeth off the pinion and stripped the spline out of a mini spool. it was a animal, and all while sitting on 9500rpm

Nice mate, nice! Performance modified non turbo VL... love it. Thats what i'd eventually love to do for my factory manual n/a sedan.
Not enough of them.. everyone just opts out for psi.
How much did it all end up costing you?
Genuine calais wagon or just a calais dash?
And thats a very different exhuast note for a nissan lol...
