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

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
