Welcome mate.
Go into your VL album and hover the mouse over the picture you uploaded, a list will pop down under it. Then just copy and paste the bottom link that says IMG Code at the bottom of that list, will look like [IMG]http: photobucket.com[/img].

That would sound so weird RB26 exhaust note coming from a VLT. Not a fan of the wheels otherwise I really like this car.
How long has it been in the build? You do most of it yourself? Who tuned it?

if only you could buy this back in the day, if they ran vl into the next decade you may have been able to buy a 1991 VL Calais GTR!
nice, different, just my opinion but something is seriously visualy wrong with door mould strips and wheels?
Get the aero door moulds http://www.hdt.com.au/VL_Aero.htm and some nostalgic wheels 88 - 91 style?
Whats your interior like?

16-10-10, 01:49 GMT+10#15 Haha ok first of all cheers turbz for posting the pics up and second of all f**k u all about the wheels and door moulds haha na im onto it ay these pics are a few months old now the car is in the workshop and has been for the last 3 months getting a full respray (same asteroid silver) with letterbox grille DOOR MOULDS , door locks and antenna provision shaved and SS flutes installed in the front guards. And i thought the wheels suited it but maybe it's different in person but i have been contemplating changing the wheels for maybe some 18" black ones. Ohh and it def goes like a shwr of sh*t believe me traction is few and far between on the highest boost setting. Don't really want to say who tuned it because at the moment (well when i dropped it into the paint shop it was getting compressor surge on hishest boost setting (25psi) and blowing bit of black smoke. So i am getting it retuned when i get it back and am hoping to sort out the surge and get 450 -500rwkw. And yeah i done it myself as in bought the Motor brand new from Japan and sent over here it's actually a N1 spec engine which is better than normal RB26 but yeah it's had alot of work done to the motor and entire car.

It's been in the build for about a year but it's still ongoing, it's in paint shop now getting full respray and heaps of other things, Yeah pretty much done all the mods, when i bought it it had an RB20det in it no kit VT SS wheels. When i get it back from paint shop i will be startin on the interior and boot, planning on a full custom blue and black trim. most of the work was done by JMS but pretty sur ethey took it to MRPWR to be tuned but it will be getting retuned and hope to squeeze bit more of it her too it's a brand spankin new engine and i have done less than 600kms.
