Thought I'd throw a few pics in the public forum, theres a thread in the members section but anyway..
I got the car stock as a rock about 2 n a half years ago, 1 owner with 120,000ks.
It was pulled apart straight away for a respray and engine bay detailing, also ripped the ****ty tint off and threw some venetians in there.
Then I want on a buying rampage after the car sitting dormant for 8months
Upgraded all the suspension with dobinson springs, kyb shocks, adjustable upper control arms, whiteline sway bars, adjustable panhard bar, noltec adjustable caster bars etc
Done the vt twin piston brake conversion
The diff ready to go in, it's a VLT 28spline with 3.9s and minispool
after a quick wash
heres the donk
got my gts rims tidied up aint painted
The car was then towed to sydney where Justin (Dustyc) off this forum put the motor and box in for me, along with alot of other work he has done on the car.
Car was then braught back to newcastle for some fabrication work at Premier Exhaust.
The car is off to Maatouks racing friday to have a few things done like ecu wired and tuned, shifter mounted, transbrake wired up, few gauges installed etc. I'll report back with power figures
Current specs are
RB30ET-
Garrett T66 on JPC manifold with PSR gate
Ported head with stronger springs and nizpro cam
Bresciani plenum, 910cc injectors, carter lift pump, 044 pump, surge tank and sx reg
PCI 6AL ignition and coil
Microtech LT8 (for now)
Rice racing water injection
Half inch fuel lines
Plazmaman tube and fin front mount
Transbrake 550kw jatco
3800 dominator converter
reverse pattern valve body, full manual shift
quicksilver shifter
28spline diff with 3.9s and locker
It's a fairly basic setup compared to alot of vls these days but hopefully it will net me a 10sec pass, I have a 6point cage ready to weld in just incase haha. My goal is to just have a very clean street car that I can take to the strip, powercruise, shows etc.
Let me know what you all think.

I'd like to thank My old man Breno for working on the car with me every time I did, Justin for all the work he has performed on the car he is a VL wizard! Ray Genner smash for the bodywork And also Brendan from Premier exhaust, I am stoked.

It's a stock A8 turbo bottom end with 120,000ks never boosted.
Just has ARP head studs and a half decent head on it. The head was ported by a shop called 'Head to head' in VIC somewhere.
I wish it was a garage, it's just a carport. I have moved house since and I have a garage
