Hey Guys & Girls, new to this site. Recently purchased a Factory VL Turbo Berlina. Nice Rb30 with low mound GT 35 / 40 internal gate, 660cc Injectors, JPC Camshaft and polished head. Tuned on 98 Octane and cruises around beautifully but also goes hard. Will have attempted at adding some photos. http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/Ma...tml?sort=1&o=1 (http://s1282.photobucket.com/user/Matty_Loy/media/Mobile%20Uploads/1439162340789_zps0gjqg3n5.jpg.html?sort=1&o=1) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not to much to update on, got a set of number plates for her. Will get some photos up tonight. Debating weather to leave it as 10.80 second street car, enjoy cruising and a race meeting now and then or to cage it and chase a 9 second pass.
