Looking good. I love that colour with 2 tone.
Needs to be a little lower to bring out the wheels, they look like 16s.

would go hard with the RB30 and 5 speed.

Nice calais mates and as the vk gets older ya hardly see em more ppl go for the vl but the vk calais is a top car. Scrap the rb30 nissan idea and go an injected 304 out of a SS... Ya vk would fly with a 5speed 5litre with little mods. Top Job! :)

I'd love to go for a V8 but it's my daily driver, I live in the sticks, and I'm a second year apprentice. I'd rather build a tough, strong six that still goes fairly hard. I'm not out to win any horsepower competitions.

VERYveryvery nice!!! But I'm biased cos I'm a VK owner myself :D
The big rims look really good, do they fit under the wheel arches alright? Do you get any rubbing?
And how does the old traumatic-trimatic go? My boyfriend has a llllottttt of trouble with his...

Are you from bris??
