Hey Guys... Havent been on here much as I went overseas and moved house from Banks to Lyneham. Just got a new job with defence. The night I moved into my new house, I had to leave my VL there for the night and it got broken into. Boost Guage, Tacho, Turbo Timer, Stereo gone. Boot lock shimmied with subs and amps stolen. Engine not touched thankfully... the most expensive piece of the car haha. It was my ex flatmate from the house who did it too. My car was down the street at a friends. I really want to get it back on the road. It means the parts that were stolen replaced, a new diff and rear discs, engineers cert and ****son. I'm sick of hearing the endless flutters of Skylines trying to imitate the true VLT Dose. TRENT: I owe you a seat buddy. Tom

What do u mean by not knowing the difference between a t3 & a gt30?

Cheers just because he builds motors doesnt mean hes god, if you saw my old turbo you would have thought it was a stock t3 . in fact even looking at that car would have just looked like a stock manual calais turbo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I called a few places about the car to find out the background of it coz your mate didn't know to much about it! That's why I didn't buy it! ---------- Post added 03-05-10 at 21:29 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by RB Onevia [View Post] saw you today too i am sure you know where.
