Hey Guys,

I'm writing to you today because I have a dirty love affair with an ex that's gotten really rough.

The thing in need help with is my VL commodore, I first fell in love with her in 2006 when I bought her but then a Japanese lady got in the way (WRX) which turned the relationship sour, then another japanese lady (R33) stole the love away again!

But now the reality hit. Well hit my old man....

My VL has been cluttering up his shed for a while now and he's sick to death of it. I've just dropped a new donk in it and then the oil pump broke. So it needs a new one. The old one off the old donk is good to go, I just need to swap her over.

I really need some help to get it going again so I can sell it and get it out of my old man's shed.

The car can either be in Devonport or Hobart. What ever gets more support really.

Can you guys help me out? I'll be honest, working on cars scares the hookers out of me after f**king up this car the first time so I'd really like your help.

Dad say's if it's not going this weekend he's going to take it to the tip. Seeing as I've recently put $3k's worth of suspension in it I'd rather not see that happen. Can you help!?!

If we want it in Hobart I'll need a tow car and a trailer to get it there, tow car donor can borrow my WRX for the day.

Help me SAU, you're my only hope!

Zoid.

That will help. May need some assistance pushing this bad boy up my driveway mostly :P

Your driveway? Surely it will be kept on display on your front lawn like all good VL's?... (commo dig)

I have the ute as I mentioned before, but I don't think she's up to any long towing trips at the moment unfortunately ;P

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
