My Dad had the same model year Calais… except his was a brown V8 Calais. It was cool back in the 80’s because it had all electronic tachometer and also electric windows.. which was like futuristic back then. 😂
If the only place they got installed was the small compartment between the firewall and the windscreen wipers, then no. Mind you, I was under the impression they were installed in the boot
Very rare car indeed, from memory they only made 13 V8's and 9 turbo RB30 versions before Holden pulled the pin. I consider myself to be more of a Ford fan but I'd own one of these in a heartbeat.
Don't know why people are like that about their cars; at the end of the day it's something we won't take to our graves and will dissolve with time. Why can't people be honest and say, nah just f_ _ _ _ off - I don't want you to ask me anything about my cars. Good on you for making the effort of posting the vid of the car
The EFI VK Commodore was a very good attempt at getting more power out of the old 202 cubic inch six by Holden. It had more bottom end grunt than the automatic RB30E powertrain in the VL Commodore, the one I had to replace the cylinder head gasket on in 2004 had as much grunt as a manual 3 litre VL Commodore,it had done 200,000 kilometres, & supposedly always been serviced,the engine was smoky & the cylinders were out of round - it was shot & I pulled a litre of mud out of the sump,the 1984 model Berlina wasn't serviced that well. The fuel injected model was only available with an automatic transmission & Holden literally hotted the engine up to push an extra 20 kilowatts of power out of it,mods included a HQ racing camshaft, stainless steel factory headers & the Bosch L-Jetronic analogue computer which was fuel only,the ignition system carried over from the VH Commodore on the EFI models only. I couldn't compare it to my VL Commodore back then because it ran a hybrid RB30DE engine that I built for it using the parts off the RB25DE engine including the cylinder head,pistons & ECU,the result was an engine which was 50% more powerful. The car is sitting under layers of car covers waiting for me to restore it,the twin cam 3 litre engine is still beautifully smooth 200,000 kilometres after the rebuild. I drive my VY SS Commodore in tuned form now & the 5.7 litre LS1 V8 engine is about the same as the Nissan engine as far smoothness goes which is why I wanted to keep away from the horrible 3.8 litre Buick V6 engine. Yes,as far as the Bathurst 1000 goes,I couldn't be bothered watching it since none of the cars are Australian built,the new Commodore means nothing to me !
I know that the metallic green promo car that PB used in promo shots is in a museum Stateside (the very 1st Director), but I hear it isn't in Cali, but Midwest somewhere. I didn't know that Blair Warren's car was also in the US (No 2).
I’ve come across those type of owners at Cars and Coffee here in America. What happens is the owner isn’t there but has good friend bring a car to show, he has knowledge of the car and that is it. The real owner could be a CEO, sports, media, music personality that would be mobbed if they show up?
I worked at a place in Melbourne in 1990 and the hottest chick in the head office drove a red one of these cars as a young car guy this was something I’ll never forget
I met a guy once who had the same vibe of he just wanted to keep his cars to himself. I happened to be brought into this guy's warehouse of loads of different, very nice cars of mostly muscle and a few oddities. I wanted to take photos and I asked out of courtesy if I could and he said no, which I did respect and did not. On top of that the warehouse where we went was in a twisty industrial estate and had zero signage on the outside
Yeah, I don't get that, either. I have had great luck talking to owners about their cars. I met a lady twice that has her BMW 2002s on both Jay Leno's Garage and Petrolicious. Very nice and loved chatting about her cars. Had a long conversation with a guy about his Datsun 510 race car as well.
I'm sure you know as you've been watching my vids forever, that I also meet very friendly car people. This guy just up nose so much that I couldn't help myself.

No doubt, but I live in Japan. My visit was like a tactical strike; In and out. Without question though, I went above and beyond in my efforts to get in touch with the guy to explain what I was about. Above and beyond! And, over a period of 12 - 24 months.

No Polarizer??????? If I had a HDT car I would have to have one. Love the idea that they fitted independent suspension on the first two directors...should have carried it on..I guess Holden said NO....Now we have HSV run by British and staffed by ar5eholes who only employ casuals they can hire and fire weekly whilst using Taiwanese parts.....
Hey? Lol. It's not Polarizers can get picked up of ebay. And, Holden didn't have a say in the IRS for HDT cars. In fact, they said to Brock no, but he went ahead with it anyway.
All Directors came with Polarizers, some owners removed them out of embarrassment. You cannot buy a genuine Energy Polarizer on eBay. From a Director or an SS Group A.
WasabiCars No it's ok I liked watching it & I liked the director (I think they copied some styling from the BMW M3 racer of that era). I like commodores in general, it's just that it seemed odd, I usually watch your videos for the RX3s etc. But if I was to make a complaint about the video it would be that you didn't check to see if it still had the energy polariser attached.
WasabiCars Do you think it was original? Or a tribute/replica? Just that motor & the car by didn't look right. If I remember correctly they had fuel injection (not sure if it was efi or mechanical of some sort)

Whoa. Having lived outside of Australia since 2001, I really feel like I'm missing something with that comment. When I first uploaded this video, someone did say something like these were commonly stolen, but again, I just lack the background info fully grasp the story.
The wheels on the VL Director look absolutely crappy, tacky & cheap. Really bad choice that ruin the lines of the car. Even the original factory wheels would’ve been a much better choice.
@@wasabicars Simmons wheels make some very nice designs like a BBS mesh pattern copy that would’ve suited the car much more than those damn ugly star pattern that are so outdated.
