hey guys,

as mine is up for sale, and you all know the story by now im looking for something much cheaper to get me around for the next few years.

i've set myself an absolute limit of 5k, and mainly looking at VL's with a few little mods, but im fairly open minded, but here are the main things i want in the car.

doesnt need to be fast at all(but i wont mind if it is lol), just a nice cruiser.

needs to be clean both inside and out.

km's dont need to be low but for something like a commodore nothing over 250000kms

would prefer something local, i dont want to have to travel to far to get it.

and of course air con and power steering etc

and preferably just an auto.

so if you can just keep me in mind if you see something with the afformentioned details i'd really appreciate it.

i've got over 4k in the bank so i could buy another car now, but im not sure if i want to buy one before i sell the skyline, there is a really nice 93 commo in the paper today thats immaculate with only 180kms on it, i've had a long chat with the owner and got him down to 5.2k, so its quite tempting....

thanks again though guys,

Andrew.

i've made him an offer of $3600 and he accepted, (the car is well worth it too), i took it out yesterday evening and its really nice, good stereo, manual, and pretty much immaculate all round, and once stirlo and i attack it with some midnight purple paint its should look fantastic! (as much as a VL can) i've got over 4k in the bank so i think i might buy it now, and wait to sell mine, as i dont think i'll find anything much better than this and will save myself the hassle of more searching.

now the question is, do i spend the extra $1400 i have left over from my budget on the car? probably either paint, 18's or $600 on some nice 2nd hand buckets>? (the car needs buckets im so used to being "held in" in mine) i think i'll spend a bit of it on paint and just save the rest, after all thats the whole reason im downgrading, to save.

tell me about it, the damn "high performance race tape" being directly next to the rear left wheel, has given that wheel an extra 20kw, so every time i snap a gear the car kicks violently sideways! i should have just bought ordinary duct-tape!!! :headspin:

i think i missheard you though, did you say "dont" do anything to it? its a freaking car, its supposed to be modified!! who buys a car without the intention of crazying up the paint, slapping big rims on it or making it pump out fats beats at an stupidly high level??? NO-ONE THATS WHO!!!......*goes and buys paint just to spite leech*

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
