some of you know that i bought this car not long a go, i love the car but the problem is its black, ok it looks hot but its not my thing, and im not a person who likes washing the car much if i was to keep it im looking at geting a custom colour, i even have the paint but then its not worth changing a rare original black calais turbo to a diferent colour, these are even more rare than a LE turbo, the car doesnt even need a paint job, as it has been resprayed before i got it, maybe if it needed a respray then it might make sence to paint it all, it just has some fine chips on the the popup lids, and the rear bar has a crack in it but i have a new bar for the back. i would realy be looking at swaping this car for a diferent colour calais turbo, if anyone was interested and it was to my liking, if not im thinking of selling and geting another one, since ive bought the car ive just being spending money on it, ok heres what the car has its a original 87 series 2 calais turbo auto factory black, i put a brand new t04 same week i got it, has custom oil and water lines with new custom dump pipe from turbo back, and 3" inch all the way, new oxy sensor. then the head gasket was gone, they used a aftermarket gasket and wasnt done properly, now it a has a reco head with new valves, springs and guides, has the same lifters, nissan head gasket, ive done 350ks since heads gone back on, compresion on all 6 is perfect, the mechanics recons the bottom end has been honed and pistons and rings are changed im only tellin you what he said about the bottom end, has all new spark plugs had a converted manual, but i wanted back to original so now it has a turbo auto in very good cond and turbo computer, lsd diff in very good cond still holds like new king srings and lowered shoks, all new pads and front bearings calais wheels with very good tyre good sized front mount and 3" piping, some of the pics where taken when i was fiting the cooler, catch can, boost controller, and hobs switch, and new battery has scheel interior in very good conditon with racing harness, the black calais came with the scheel interior originally as far as i know. changed the window switches they wherent working properly, all electrics work fine, besides cruise control coz the end of the cable for the throtle isnt there. still has aircon just hasnt got the belt hooked up. tinted windows, with venitions. Alpine headunit with sony sub and amp, 3 auto metre guages now on the bonnet boost, water and oil, remote alarm and imobilizer with michrowave sensor. didnt have the chrome strips that go all around, bought the whole set, in new condition all it needs to be done is, spray the rear bar that has a crack and put it on thats it the car is on 228,000ks and has reg as i said i dont want to sell it unless thers another calais i have my eyes set on, or will swap for a diferent colour calaisturbo, if needed cash adjustments either way, if not ill be asking $11,500 for it, if i was to sell, dont make me offers coz if it is going to sell thats the only price it will be at. i dont NEED to sell this car but i would LIKE a diferent colour, any checks welcome as the car is perfect mechanically, but no test pilots if u want to know more call me on [phone removed] usually the serious people call.

Anyway, great looking car, love black VL's.

Hire a chainsaw and chop the tree down...and keep the car...

hey mate, u asking 11.5 with polished calais wheels? and also any registration left on the car, cheers

Swap me for the wagon for ****s sake...

WeLLsY i swear if this was couple of months ago i would of swapt it no probs, coz i was more into wagons then, but now ill seriously take it into consideration, u didnt swap me why should i swap u VLT_RB30 conversion, and a upgrade modification is diferent things, u can get a 10 second vl calais turbo wich will have aturbo engine thrown in it originally na, it just turns me off Gatecrasher nah the clubies where 16s i honestly prefer the calais wheels over them the springs are king springs lows or super lows one of the 2 and it has short shockers vlt-dreamer the black calais had that interior but the front seats are in too good condition so they might be trimmed calais_turbo88 has reg till end of the year but can organise sumthing, and yeh it comes with stock calais wheels not polished i was going to cut the tree down but oldies wont let, if i atleast had a garage. whats the point of having ablack car when u know its going to be dirty next morning, i have paint for it already, if it doesnt sell or swap, im going custom colour and leav the engine bay black Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
