Well i love my rides, so after 3hrs of washing her + cut & polish plus cleaning the trim, its looking nice! only got 1 interior pic for now, the interior was coverd in mould due to 6 months of doing nothing...WAS ANYWAY! Don't mind the state of the headunit, still working on that

Nah hardly any rust, abit in the boot only casue the dude likes fishing, but its small surface nothing rust converter and a scrub wont fix, bits of surface rust at points but nothing major and noticable

apart from the dent in the drivers door that some **** kicked in one night..still can be fixed

[starfire vc]

[VLDavo]

nice wiring job

[Goon]

what is that turbo off? rb20 25?

not sure my mate had it on his vl before he sold it, it fits a vl turbo manifold so its suited.. not sure though.. he has allot of skyline parts... even the airbox is out of anyother skyline but ive got it to fit

[Goon]

nice wiring job

i like to test my stuff befoe i install it first, nothing like a faulty gauge stuck in a good job that was done.. wrecking good work sucks..

[VL Berlina 5speed]

whats your thoughts with the skyline intake box?
the normal air box shouldnt have to much restricion i assume
just curious

look as if you got a good goal, good luck with it, just triple your budget and time planned

The nose sits above the radiator, fits sucks in all the air coming from the front of the hood, ive also got plans for a pod under the airbox for a 2nd intake of air..maybe a 3rd from the grill. Probley all change though if i get the intercooler soon..

Once i round up ever part for the turbo i probley wont stop working on her until its installed!
