This is my first vl turbo. I built the motor and converted it myself. Sold it to a guy in Darwin.

white vlct
microtech lt-12s, 18x8" voltecs, koni yellows, otherwise stock 240rwhp@4000rpm running 100% duty on the injectors (*).....
(* hence the rebuild.....lol)
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

pedders lowered shocks / springs
respray / door locks shaved

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

thanks for the comments mate a fair bit of work has gone into it, all by me too..
your car looks pimp too, looks really clean!
the back bumpers paint was really faded so I got a new bumper, rubbed it back and got it sprayed and fitted it, as well as replaced all the bits in the rear of it (calais garnish always fade yellow) and ive got a spare set of strips for the doors and lower calais moulds and was also thinking of doing the skirts astroid silver.
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!

I second that! white calais with red interior is tuff!
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.
