Nice VP! We have a VP which is a little un loved cause there is no room in the garage. Its only the V6 but still drives very well.

To all you folks out there commenting on his nice SS. Its a VN not a VP. Sorry to get twisted about it but everyone is still calling it a VP even though its clearly a VN.
Back to it.

How can you tell its a VN! The VN and VPhave the same rear end except for the rear wheel arch. the main difference is the front grille. I dont know about the VN SS grille though.

The window registration card should tell you if its a VN or VP.

Really! somehow I doubt it - you sure you're not getting confused with VR/VS models! VR/VS had rounded rear wheel arches & VN/VP had the squared off rear wheel arch.:-)

Nice looking car pollymay, these are slowly becoming collectible in their own right - tidy ones are certainly few & far between.

Also different Holden badges (bonnet & boot) plus the Holden boot badge on a VP surrounds the boot lock.

Lol why does my tow car garter so much interest!
Also got the brakes smoking yesterday, put in plain terms they suck quite badly. I'd of taken some pretty pictures by now of it some of the tidy up but lost my camera somewhere.

There is an upgrade available on here where you fit VT rotors & calipers but there's no need if you just fit some Skyline 4 pots. They will require the making of a bracket & new hoses though but they're still better than the VT rotor setup. Also, on the Skyline calipers are the letters NISSAN so if you want to get tricky you can file the NI & AN off leaving SS.

Thats the one. The most obvious on the SS being the rear spoiler and the boot garnish. Instantly gives it away
