    Name: Shaun

    Nickname: Nackerz

    Age: 21

    Location: VIC

    Car: 1986 VL Calais Turbo

    Engine: RB30ET

    Engine Mods: Turbo, Intercooler...Not sure what else is done to her!\

    Body: White

    Body mods: Adjustable Panhard bar

    Gearbox: Auto ???Stock/Turbo???

    Stereo: None atm

    Interior mods: Momo steering wheel

    Wheels: Ceptors

    Future mods: Lower it, Windows Tinted Darker, 5 Speed Conversion (Maybe)...

    Price: Bassically nothing as i brought the berlina for 500, then sold it for 3K, and brought this for 2.5K so in the end the berlina paid for both of the cars

    ok so i now know its an a8 engine and thought i would pull the head off and check it out as it blew a fair bit of black smoke...thought the rings where gone but by the looks there ok

    the pistons have a thick layer of shit on them and so does the plugs and valves....well the only thing i can think of why it was blowing black smoke is shit fuel and bad ignition as the plugs are pretty dirty....If anyone has any other reason why it would blow black smoke please fell free to lend me some help

    Well i took some pics and here they are....

    i think you should have put the black topped calais doors on the walky to go with the pop ups.
    This is good site to watch.I found it informative as I have been researching a lot lately on such matters such as you talk about.
