Thought it was about time i posted my car up, so here it is! I've had it for about 5 months now, its my first car and originally i payed $300 for it. The motor was good, the interior was good, the outside was uhhh not so good. The day i got it. So then after alot of sandpaper, killrust, putty, and primer filler. My brother sprayed it for me! it was originally going to be hothouse green, but after seeing a quite a few VEs i decided atomic green would be better. Over silver of coarse Since then its had a bit done to it, heres a list. -Calais taillights -Group-a grille -Calais interior -Saas steering wheel -Fusion ipod headunit -Dominator 6x9s -New front speakers -Alpine 2 channel amp -2x 12inch us-audio subs -Lowered springs -Lukey hi-flow air filter -Advance extractors (only payed $75 for them + an rb30!) -Nissan rocker cover resprayed metallic charcoal Some pictures of how it is now. (crappy phone pic, makes the color look not as good lol) Some next things on the list is ordering a 2.5inch exhaust at the end of the week, get tyres for the VZ Sv6 wheels i have for it, rear window venetian, LSD, bigger brakes. Then im looking at doing a turbo conversion. Pretty keen on 5 speed too if i dont get the auto kitted. Cheers for reading! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

usally dont like green on vl's but this one is awsome, good work man. Defnantly must be proud of your before and after :P

yeah i agree with blu3-vl i didnt really like green but this is really nice. put some pics up of the engine bay Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheers fellas. RED30L heres the engine bay, nothing special lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good mate....how come u didnt paint the engine bay???

i know from doing it my self. painting a engine bay is a lot of work.

nice job mate.. looks nice

thanks man. bit of an update, now has a pod and a 2.5inch mandrel bent exhaust, gives a nice note with the extractors.

update: looking pretty nice now with the VZ SV6 wheels on next on the list is a 3inch dump tip, limited slip diff, better brakes. then looking into saving for a 5 speed or turbo conversion. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

get a turbo conversion and a stage 2 shift kit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

UPDATE: well long story short.. overheated due to a hole in the radiator, and cracked the head. so after alot of late nights, swearing, energy drinks and snapping sockets i finally have it running again with a freshly shaved head off an 89 r31 and pro-torque headgasket. also have painted alot of the engine bay, and the timing cover. heres pics. (phone pics so not the best quality) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks really nice man. As said above, not the biggest fan of green on Vls but this looks really neat.

engine bay looks better now that its the same colour Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheers fellas still gotta do a couple more coats and paint under the bonnet. but im pretty happy with the way its turning out. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

at least the old head has a cam!! LAWL

absolutely love the colour! not too big on the wheels but thats just my taste. get everything ready before you turbo it i rekon. do the brakes and throw in a turbo 5 speed or get it so you can put it in when you turbo it. good work though!
