well after putting my new turbo on, my oil feed leaked from the block so im replacing the old braided lines with all new stuff, then getting full 3inch exhaust, vt ss brakes, new head with a bigger cam in it, then once its running and passed the defect it will be going in for paint early november should be ready for summernats as it sits now lol almost ready for paint Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well i did make a new thread but it wasnt accepted i guess. due to the gold one being severley defected the plan was to quickly drop its motor into a silver calais shell i owned when things went a little crazy, ended up putting whole motor with new turbo in silver one, r33 5spd conversion etc as i picked the car up with no drivetrain at all but wanted to use this car for nats because the paint was a million times better than the gold calais but car wasnt ready in time so ended up just keeping the silver calais anyway and hopefully regoing it soon heres some pics of the build if you could call it that, still has heaps to go want it lower on some 20s with red leather interior and i should be happy with it then n just finish little things off as i go then the motor went from this to this and how i picked it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

built auto = twice the price of what the entire manual conversion to handle 300rwkw cost lol yeah thinking about getting the end pieces off the auto xmember and having them welded onto the manual xmember coz i cant weld the cross member on because a thats bad for when i want the box to come off if it ever does and b coz it needs to pass rego still haha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
