Ive painted the side skirts black instead of the asteroid silver it looks alot neater, got new fuel pump and cleaned out lines as was having a bit of a problem. Then my engine decided to **** itself and the car is sitting in my girlfriends front yard, so saving for new engine thinking of turboing it while i have to get a new engine anyway but will see what happends.

Awesome man. U'll have to come for Friday night boosts when its turbo . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok well there was a change in plans for the vl it sat how it was for around 4 months before i could get any money saved up. just ended up buying another rb30 and put it in myself just got it done over the long weekend, picked it up for $500 and had done 135,000 and recond head. heres some pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

also picked up some extractors yesterday off of spigzy gave them a coat of paint last night and should get them on soon.

Looks great dude. Got any interior shots?

Turbo it bro.

Few little updates, fixed eyelids at tafe so now they actually work properly,so much better. Got calais garnish off of SXC-747 (cheers mate) looks 10x better. Also bought 3 1/2'' dump pipe tip but havnt put on yet, oh and in the middle of making new intake setup using VN piping Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheers mate, not to bad went back to stock intake set up for now as i was having idle problems with the other one. am saving up for new short stroke shocks and lowered springs at the moment, so ****in hard to save up for **** when you only get $250 a week and $100 of it goes before you even get it

i have heard things about putting the afm in the pipeing (between inlet mani and the cooler) making the car run smoother. maybe look into this? its still legal as long as you retain the air box as opposed to a 'dose pipe' (i believe)

its NA mate, i was having trouble coz i had a little breather on the back oil breather on the rocker cover, instead of it going into the intake piping.

lowered the rear today still need to do the front waiting to do it at work though as will be a bit easier with hoist. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lowered front today and picked up some venetions on the weekend, thinking of getting whitewalls, maybe red.. (oh and the bend in the venetions in the second photo thats gone now lol) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Dont worry about red or white walls man, imo they're over done so many people thrashing it out, just chill with the normal sidewall colour haha. Hurry up and put boost through it you sickcuunt White venetians make the car look so much better too. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its looking good now ! i don't believed i missed the n/a thing what was i thinking! the picture with just the rear lowered looks insane what springs are you using?

yeah i dunno i like white walls but meh migth get them later on if i really want them. haha not to worry mate, not 100% what they are lol i got them from the wreckers but they are pedders sports ryders look them up on the peders site but not sure how low they are. got pedders comfort gas shocks all round and the sports ryder springs all round to.
