**** ay, stil got this thing... dont drop your price anymore, your just looking despirate and you'll end up losing alot of money. keep it and wait till someone 'legit' comes along and really wants it. ps - why isnt that brett fella from cairns buying this?? all he talks about is wanting a vlct in QLD.

you only live once, not hard to do a 5 speed conversion, that way you learn something and a car with a forged bottom end and a tricked up auto has probably had the guts flogged out of it and needs a new diff and turbo

If I was going to buy a car to rebuild the motor, Id buy one for like 6k.. Not saying yours isn't worth what your asking. But I have a budget and if I bought yours and rebuilt the motor with the works, my budget wouldn't allow me to do this manual conversion. Goodluck with her bro Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Proph. Just spotted your car on Ebay, man. Looks pretty nice, I can't believe it hasn't sold yet. Too bad I don't have 8k lying around. :-( Wanna turn it into a rolling shell and sell it to me for 1k? Hehehe. :-)

Your car is a Holden Calais Sedan From the factory it was equipped with the Turbocharged Nissan 3L RB30ET producing 150kw at the flywheel. It was produced in 1987 at the Adelaide plant with a serial number of 42482 8X198GL242492L <-- run it through. i'm assuming you're not actually interested in the car, i'd prefer if you're not interested, you don't post to try to uncover some radical secret, if it wasn't factory turbo, then what? you ruin my chance of selling the car, nice person you are. if you are interested, please pm me for further discussion the car is actually @ $7500 on ebay, reserve has been met, car is as good as sold
