Hey, thought I would post some pics of my VL Calais
Bought it as a factory Nissan powered Calais and added a few extras, such as�
Injected 304 VS V8, Getrag M34 5speed, 3.45 LSD, Willwood Superlites, Custom Koni/king coilovers, 19�s, Walkinshaw kit and custom paint, big stereo etc, etc, etc
More info http://www.walkinshaw.net/replicas/alex/ and a few more things since then
Future plans:
-355 Stroker with Twin Turbo or Supercharger
-Remove stereo and back seat
-Add 2 race seats and full cage
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Thanks, I guess most people on this site are not really intersted in V8 Calais with a Walky kit. I did consider a RB26DETT, but choose the injected V8 instead. Would like to do a VL with a RB26DETT one day though
I�m a bit embarrassed to show my engine bay at the moment, but here goes� Plan to build a big HP motor soon for it either twin or single turbo or supercharger, still trying to decide, but will do the bay mint when that is done
Very very good work. The paint / wheels and kit come together very nicely. It must be very low with that ride height and the kit by the looks of things.
You know turbo 355 is the only option

Thanks. Yeah it is very low and sometimes a bit of a pain in the ass� my suspension is pretty hard so only really a problem going in and out of driveways. Oh and speed bumps are a no go zone! But it�s not a daily driver so it doesn�t worry me
Yeah the more I think about it the more I think it will be a twin turbo stroker
