This is my first vl turbo. I built the motor and converted it myself. Sold it to a guy in Darwin. http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...nt=2005090.jpg (http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/BillyMako/pics/?action=view¤t=2005090.jpg)

Bought the calais turbo a year ago, done a fair few things to it- Bottom pic is old, has had a fair few bits resprayed, its off the road atm getting better pistons etc and the front bottom half resprayed, also new cooler kit is going on the car as the one that came on it was dodgey. I stripped the old tint, just waiting to get the new stuff put on. Interior pic is old, looks cleaner now and the cheap boost gauge has been removed from the hole in the dash and autometer put in, now that bit is covered with a nokia car kit bolted on. door strips / front bumper is coming off and getting a glossy respray like the rear bar, and I chipd the paint in the front right fender when I got busted for the hoon law and I was backing out of the impound so far- Rebuild engine (got hypertek pistons etc, king bearings blah blah) Rebuilt injectors 600 x 300 cooler custom designed stainless steel air box with pod rebuilt turbo catch can 3" exhaust / dual stage boost controller worked auto (modified valve bodies, stronger clutches (reciept says extra clutches), shiftkit) LSD 28spline pedders lowered shocks / springs respray / door locks shaved new centre calais garnish / tail lights and strips new badging all round (including interior) / cleaned interior (looks mint) autometer gauges panasonic deck, clairon splits, xplod 6x9s, alpine amp, eclipse metal sub new front window, changed seals. Car has NO rust boss steering wheel / kit bluetooth car kit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As far as the motor goes, it shouldnt be a drama, just doing uni exams now and then im going south for a month (car got towed to the olds house) so once I get home my neighbour has an engine crane so ill get it out. Taking it to a mates we are going to strip it, bore the block and im putting hypertek pistons in, chromoly rings, king bearings, recond injectors, cam, new cooler kit, nissan gaskets. Once thats all in, the rest of my stereo is being fitted. If this thread is still floating around ill take pics then, should look sexy! Oh rims are BSA 291's, full chrome! I see a couple of cars on here have them but IMO they look average as in silver, look like these copies I see floating around!

Here are some pics of my Bt1. At the time the photos were taken it was pretty much stock under the bonnet with the only mods being a pod filter, 15psi and a small avo cooler. It made 175rwkw wich i was happy with considering the mods. Hope you like Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
