hey everyone im lookin at buying a vl calais for my next car i have alot of q's but ill start off with the big one first, im a p later so no tubo am i better off rebuilding the rb30 or lookin at a rb26 conversion and wat would i be lookin at payin for this cuase i have a budget of bout 8k ill also be lookin at paint, interior, stereo, lowering and wheels later on. Any advise price ideas on any of this would be much appreciated thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sounds like you'll automatically be throwing a lot of money at a VL considering you havn't even seen what you want yet why do you list paint as a must have later? for $8k you can buy a n/a VL with all the things you list done and have change in your pocket unless you're someone who never trusts what others have done and must 'do it yourself' if that's the case your car will be the same and therefore be hard to sell down the track when you move on from VL's

and arnt rb26's only turboed?

anddd on p plates any modification to a engine is illegal.. engine conversion is illegal on ps too :P
