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*

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
