Alrighty then

Grab a coldy and take a seat, I have a story to tells ya, and then maybe some Photo's (only if your good).

TL:DNR (go straight to the Pictures)

Almost 3 weeks ago my Sisters girlfriend (yeah I know right), married at least twice with 2 kids. I don't blame her tho cause I like the pussy too :P

I tells me mum it's heredity it's her fault (latent lesbo :P) and she tells me to shut-up and I'ma little shit - lol

Back on track - I caught up with my sister and her "significant other" who after trying to sell her dads (passed away in 2010 - god bless his sole) 1980 VC Commodore for $1k to the lawn mowing young fella. At first he said yep and then tried to talk her down because of "perceived" problems with it. "Oh it's pissing out oil, got a really bad knock etc..." So eventually she said fine - piss off ! .

She called me and said Dick your into cars. How'd you like my dad's old commodore ? and you know what a scavenging prick I am - I said maybe, I'll take a look, no promises.

So I go round to Sis's place and have a chat to her BFF. That's the commy do you want it ? How much I asks and she says I know your passion for cars and because my dad bought it new 34years ago and I know you love your cars you can have it. Free? Yep ! I have 3 I'm not sure I can fit another. No where to park etc....

Well I want you to have it. Do you think you will sell it ? Well I'll probs fix it clean it and sell it, is that an issue?

Nah - dads been dead 4 years or so and although reluctant I'm over it all and ready to move on.

Ok - No worries. I'll fix it, clean it and take you for drive in your dad's car - thanks heaps.

So for the last couple of weeks I've been working some Steeley magic on it.

Front callipers replaced, rotors machined, new pads, reconditioned rear wheel cylinders.

and replaced the windscreen which had a few stone chips

gave it a full service (fluids, plugs, filters, coolant)

Painted a few things in the engine bay like the airfilter

Some new bits from Rare spares like the overflow, some exterior window trims

The engine had been reconditioned to accept unleaded fuel, new clutch kit

VC has a genuine 140k kms on the body and 2k kms on the engine.

Drives awesome and has been really well maintained.

This is how it's turned out.

I want to drive and park near his place :P

-----------------------

Edit: The minor nock was a rubber muffler hanger - both on the same hanger. So put one of them on the opposite side hanger. I take it when the muffler was replaced an apprentice was lazy

the perceived pissing out oil was the washer on the sump plug needed replacing.

No Rust, Straight as an arrow, always garaged, one owner. He'd put covers on the seats, dash, mats, parcel tray and in the boot - so they all look like new.

The paint is a bit tired on the roof and has a few stone chips which I just dobbed touch up paint on (and a few coats of wax)

Then an awesome detailing (effort), tidying up the engine bay and some cosmetic parts from Speeds (Rare spares) .

Replacing the front brake callipers, BMC, machining and pads was the most expensive thing.

and a new windscreen.

Damn she drives really good too

Richard, I'm not sure that you're asking too much. If you're selling to a 20+ as a daily and something to lay rubber in on a Fri/Sat night well yeah it's too much but by the sounds of things it's more a Commodre enthusiast's car.

If it's as clean and straight as you say, and it looks, the right person will want it for the right reasons. Original cars, especially bloody Comodores, are hard to come by .. I guess it comes down to how fast you want to sell it.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
