and about bloody time too... lol... Picked up a s2 Calais Turbo shell (fully complete, except missing radiator, engine, and gearbox) for $3500... has perfect light blue interior, LSD diff, and is painted in white with a blue pearl through it. Interior is immaculate - not a mark anywhere. Car is dead straight and has NILL rust (even under the windscreen or in the rear windscreen). Now i am just looking around for a Turbo Motor and Gearbox. In the mean time, im gonna throw my old n/a motor and gearbox in to get me mobile till i can find a decent setup to bolt in. should have pics up next week.

yeah, it was... there was a few things wrong with the shell (broken tail light, and a missing ariel)... but both those things i have sitting at home on my wreck, so that will go straight on... also had a bent axle, and colapsed bonnet - both these things are getting fixed before i pick the shell up though. apart from that, the rest of the shell is perfect. The blue pearl through the paint looks pretty good too.. if i can find a rb30et + g/b for less than $2000, then i can get a full complete immaculate s2 calais turbo on the road for less than $5500...

would rather something with a g.box with it... Might even think about getting a manual box and putting it in since i gotta buy and fit a g/box anyway...

Yeah i agree, RB26DETT! Don't be too concerned bout the g/b. 300zx without the remote shifter go for $800, bolt in and have closer ratios!
