>>15398425
Mate, doing skids in a fully sick commo is a part of you, you can't just up and leave from yourself.
Found this in Launceston a couple of days ago, thought it was bretty gud.
>>15398430
Yeah, I actually saw an opel that looked like a vn commie, was thinking how easy it would be to give it the full commo front end
alternatively I could just buy a rwd merc and australianise it with stockies on the back and etc
Where da melbfags at
>3064
>>15398488
You know your heart belongs to the commo, you need to bring over a vl if you can.
>>15398491
I'm SE
>>15398467
Wow wasn't expecting one of those to be in tassie honestly
>>15398510
Neither was I. It's a proper import all the way from Japan sort of thing as well, not just a front end conversion and a paint job. Should bring mine down when it's done and race the cunt.
>>15398495
Nah, everythings LHD here so I can't bring over a VL
If anything i'd just work up one of those opel VNs, if it's got the buick 3800 then i'm set
>>15398574
reading it up, looks like the VN was similar to some opels, but from what I've read there was no v6. Time for an LS swap I guess.
Just heard a fucking noice burnout outside.
So the Z900 died, sump is full of metal/ Not sure where it came from yet. PLans on a big rebuild but until then I need to buy yet another bike.
>>15398609
postie
>>15398630
Nah, the Z will be off the road for a long time. She will be a ground up rebuild, do it properly so its likely to be dead for a year of more. So a real bike is needed.
Looking at a VTR1000F on Saturday
>>15398609
Oil starvation somewhere? Those old two valve Kwakas don't die for no reason...
>>15398642
>tfw if VTR1000's didn't have such abysmal fuel range I'd probably buy one
TL1000, you know you want to.
>>15398653
Well I think that the metal in the sump is from the gearbox since there is a pretty big bit that looks like it could be the tip of a selector fork. Plus its hardened steel in the same style as the gears.
The mesh of the oil pump was pretty blocked so I'm hoping that its the reason the oil light came on in the first place.
Haven't pulled more apart yet due to lack of space in the shed atm. But I'm going to use this as a excuses anyway to rebuild the old girl properly.
Anyone watching Port vs Hawks? Anyone see the Ebert go for the mark, land on his back and then ended up coughing up blood while it poured from his nose? Shit was crazy
>>15398662
Looking at pretty much everything that age/style/price range.

Is techsupport anon here again? I need helps
>>15398688
ZX9R?
>>15398709
Kinda, anything like that really. Though more sports tourer than full sports, as I don't give a fuck about doing a million KMPH through the hills anymore and would rather be 70% fast and comfy than 100% fast and sore back and wrists
>>15398674
Ah, yes. I can almost garauntee thats th reason behind the oil light. I reckon you're bang on with your diagnosis.
With a bit if luck, get the gearbox rebuilt and it'll be running again, although I imaging you'd be taking the opportunity to throw a weisco or a Moriwaki big bore kit at it...
>tfw its like every car has their high beams on but your car is just very low
>>15398721
Already has a yoshimura big bore kit in it, shes far from stock right now but my plan was to scrap it and get a hold of some Darton sleeves and screw it out some more, maybe even get a hold of a original turbo exhaust and make up a new one.
If I'm going to build it I'm going to build it big
>>15398722
Tfw it rained so every cunt actually has their high beams on concurrently with losing their minds.
this pokemongo shit is gay as fuck
i'd rather just play the old shit on the gameboy again
bogged the laser, chaps
>>15398757
Those wheels are appealing to me, not covered in mud but that design is soothing.
>>15398681
Ebert looks like he belongs in an old planet of the apes movie.
>>15398795
Fucks sake that's so true tho
>>15398642
Just be aware VTR1000 guzzle. About 150km to empty.
>>15398833
150km to a tank? They come out of the factory with a hole in the bottom?
Maybe not a VTR then but just shit like that.
>>15398704
>try and access modem
>Takes 25 seconds to load each page

Burn it or nah?
>>15398842
Power cycle it. Leave it off for a good ten minutes and then try.
>>15398836
Just a thirsty carbed twin. Litres aren't much better but they're not THAT bad.
>>15398842
Factory reset and/or stop using a Fritz!Box.
How are 80s Mercs reliability wise? I'm thinking of getting a nice old coupe. Pic related and I'm of course doing it because memes.
>>15398857
>mfw I started this fucking meme with a shitpost
anyway, they're pretty good, at least better than other manufacturers of the same age.
they're still cars that are 30+ years old, you won't have a trouble free car no matter what. I'd go for a single owner and sub-180000km example if I were you, pay a bit more for less headache. And on that topic, pepper your angus for parts, shop around online or get mates in a good partshop
>>15398857
what meme?
>>15398833
This. VTRs don't get much better than ~10L/100km.
>>15398743
An original turbo exhaust? You're not talking about one of those extremely rare Z1R US dealer fitted things are you? Because there's nothing in the way of a Zed Nine turbo manifold I can think of.
And don't force feed that lovely Jaffa pls... )';
Just a nice rideable bigbore with some bumpy sticks and some flatslides if you want a handfull :D
No loner have the space to store my car anymore
So im going to loan it to the National Motor Museum and use them as storage until i get my shit together. Thoughts?
>>15398908
Are the nice old coupes pretty rare for parts? I've never seen one at a wrecking yard before.
>>15398938
What car?
>>15398938
What car?
>>15398922
I was talking about one of them, from what old guys have told me they can be jammed onto a Z900 head. Only want one for reference to build a better one.
Still not 100% on the idea but I've heard a Turbo Z before and it was something out of this world.
Already has cams in it that I can't go any bigger with due to how they designed the rockers/head. I was going to piss off the fucking Mikuni's for some smoothbore CR's of something.
>>15398942
>>15398941
some shitbox HT Kingswood. Its got good paint so its got to be worth at least looking at at a museum
>>15398290
the headlight in my car keeps going out.
the bulbs arent burning out but i have to remove them then reinstall every, sometimes the light goes out twice or three times a day.
I had a similar thing happen with other headlight so i replaced the connector. problem solved.
the connector which i replaced was all melted and corroded, the connector on the other side which is having the same issue looks 100%.
I've applied dielectric grease which made the issue go down to the light going once every 2nd day. This is a REAAAALLLLLLLLLLY fucken annoying issue. what should I do?
I'm ordering a multimeter to test what voltages are going to the bulb and if they match up to the good side...any ideas as to what's causing the issue besides faulty connector?
I am also going to check fuses when the rain ceases.
Additionally, my right indicator increases in tempo when i have my foot on the brake... wat?
>>15398950
Unless they're talking about the GPZ 750 turbo manifold, but as far as I know the later square case stuff isn't compatible with the earlier roundcase stuff...
I'm going to do a quick google search to either confirm my suspicion or prove myself wrong and learn something new. In the meantime, more Jaffa.
>>15398955
Short to earth for the foot on brake thing
>>15398941
Yeah, old stuff like those 380slc's (not sure what gen, 70s/early 80s) are all boomer resto targets so scrap cars are hard to find, only seen one ever
Was gonna buy a rusty one for 500 once, didn't have welding skills so I didnt
>tfw
>>15398913

It's an old meme that nobody uses anymore (until I hopefully buy a Merc).
>>15398979
1973/74 like mine <3
>>15398985
short to earth?
not very hip to electrical stuff.
most complex ive done was wire a radio
>>15398953
They won't want it I don't think. Best to pay a storage place. Around here it's 300 a month or so for secure undercover storage
>>15399001
So there is a shared wire/connection/something to the brake lights and blinkers that is grounded when it shouldn't be.
Check to see if your brake lights are actualy working when the blinker is on
>>15398953
Have they offered or are you assuming?
>>15398997
;)
And upon further bedtime reading, seems some of the "roundcase" (Z style) bits can be compatible with later "squarecase" (J style) bits. While cylinder bores and crankcases are not interchangeable, the cylinder heads CAN be interchanged so long as cam sprocket adapters are fitted as they use different style chains.
>http://aperaceparts.com/tech/techkz1000.html
What this means is you can fit a later J head to your earlier Z cylinder block, and fit the GPZ turbo manifold that comes with it! As a bonus the J head seems to have better porting and larger chambers that help drop compression ratio if using the same pistons.
I just learnt something new!
>>15399034
hmmm will do
good thing they dont check brakes/indicator function at same time in pink slip
>>15399039
ive talked to the receptionist, and he gave me an email address for the museums curator. So far ive emailed him and waiting for a response
>>15399046
Nice, I get heaps of info from the old guys why stil own these bikes and they are always keen to give me info and facts about the Z's since not often are there young guys on them.
Also while that Z is pretty as fuck I don't think I want to change the look of mine that much.
Though the new Superchaged re-do of the Z900 that is meant to be coming to life looks a little like that and I would own one in a heart beat if possible.
>>15398994
kek he removed that carnival face
>>15399074
Ah, I'm just posting from random thumbnails in my /o/ folder.
I've been incredibly infatuated with Zeds through my Father, who himself and his brothers owned various Zs in the late '70s, and my stepdad, who drag raced a factory backed Z900 during a similar period up through the '80s.
I'd own one if it wasn't for starting a family and having a mortgage. At least these days it's money in the bank, and while the ship may have already sailed with Z1As and Z1Bs, Z1Rs can still be had for a reasonable sum.
>>15399109
Dad bought the Z when I was 6 ish, Ive been riding it since I was 9. Rode it in slow races at bike rallies, did my motorbike test on it.
Grew up on it and around it, bought it from him when his health turned and he couldn't really ride it anymore.
48,000 genuine KM's on the clock and I'm the 3rd owner in 42 years
>>15399131
>manlytears.jpg
>>15399131
My dad had a KZ1000 back in the late 70s/early 80s and a couple of the mid-sized Honda 500's towards the end of the 80s
Being the champ I was, used to wash it for him, he didn't like the time I stuck the hose in the exhausts and petrol tank though. That took a bit of time to strip down and clean out
Wew lads I just narrowly avoided getting my week old car tboned by some drongo
>>15399172
Nothing like doing something incorrectly to help you learn a leason you won't ever forget.
Good thorough wash though I bet.

>>15399046
Lawd that looks nice
>>15398994
I was contemplating a 190E all week, for the sole purpose of putting on a replica Evolution body kit and some sort of straight six for boosting.
My path is now clear.
>>15399034
wew lad.
one of the prongs connectors had burnt.
turns out the right side alternated between reverse or brake and indicating.
i cleaned out the connection and the increased rate stopped.
may replace the whole plug eventually but not a priority.
thanks man :)
When and where is the fucking melbourne meet again?

So I've enrolled in an automotive course at tafe, and they said they pretty much try to put you in work experience with a dealer close to you
What sort of brands would best to go into?
>>15403804
Euro or Japanese. Avoid a Holden or Ford dealership or you'll be surrounded by bogan mechanics.
>>15403817
>not wanting to listen to 104.7 non stop
>not wanting real australians around you
>>15403898
>local lolden dealer has only asians at it
fully imported mate
>>15403901
the only Holden product thats even remotely Australian anymore is the Commodore. Everything else in their line up is a literal rebadge of gook models
>>15403906
Think there's not a lot in the Commo now that's Aussie, I know they used to be about 50% a few models ago but dunno now. Falcons where for a while about 60-70%, but I guess thats kind of irrelevant by the end of the year.
>>15403910
I think the V6 is australian designed, and so is the body shape, so its definately an australian looking car which is refreshing
Falcons i think were always australian looking, and the I6's were absolutely based. In a world of east-west FWD v6 engines, the falcon didn't give a fuck all the way to the end
>>15403910
The platform is Australian, but just about everything else isn't.
Engine, gearbox are all GM parts bin, and the platform itself is shared with the Camaro (although probably modified).
>>15403906
pretty sure australians didnt have much to do with the last model and the new one is 100% imported with no aussie touches.
>>15403922
Oh they're both designed and assembled here, actual parts used that where manufactured in Aust are usually around 50%. Going to be a lot of small-mid sized businesses feeling the pinch by about this time next year.
Owned both straight-6 and V6's of various manufacturers in all sorts of N-S, E-W configurations- can't really complain about any of them
>>15399408
3070 here.
Where da meat at?
>>15403932
The current Camaro is a new platform, they used to be a Monaro with different panels for all intents and purposes
>>15403933
Here's the next Commodore lads. It's a fully imported Buick LeCrosse and I actually like it.
>>15403933
the last fully australian made and designed Holden were the Kingswoods. They havent made anything aussie in 40 years, them moving to south america has no impact on me whatsoever because they're already trash to me
>>15403940
Wasn't the VE platform supposed to be shared with the Camaro?
>>15403947
They do have some nice lines
Mechanically, pretty advanced too. But there's no V8, no manual and I reckon entry level will be around 60k at a guess.
>>15403947
>3.6L V6 FWD
>8 speed automagic
They're supposed to have AWD on some models so maybe a turbo AWD V6 "SS" trim could be a thing.
>>15403956
Yep the Chevrolet SS, VE Commo and 5th gen Camaro are all on the Zeta platform I think
>>15403957
I'm wondering if they'll tweak it to be RWD here since I imagine a FWD Commodore would not sell well and if they'll also put a manual gearbox in it.
>>15403965
heh, thats a pretty big tweak to redo the driveline!
As >>15403961 mentioned, there is an AWD platform
People are just going to have to spread it wide and accept the cock that GM gives them.
>>15403972
So you're saying rallyspec commies?
>>15403972
>accept the cock GM gives them
Or they could do what they're actually going to do and accept that large sedans are now dead, and keep buying those grand cherokees that launch harder than even a GTS.
>>15403957
FWD is good but its cheap, manufacturers are only supporting it because its cheap and allows smaller engine bays and thats it. V8 sedans is a very Australian car layout that was abandoned largely by the rest of the world in the 80's. Unless the Buick LeCrosse has RWD at least its going to suck, despite it looking like sex

Is the auto alright in the HQ/J/X/Z Kingswoods?
Did aussie cars get gimped by the smog era too? Is the equivalent of the smog era the supercar scare?
t. confused american
>>15404136
I'm not sure what the smog era is but we don't have any of that emissions test shit some of your states have. The amount of emission spewing cars I see every day would make the average Californian piss themselves in anger.
>>15404136
Not really, the supercar scare was purely political.
Our "smog era" equivalent would be when all new cars were designed to run on unleaded fuel in the mid eighties.
>>15404127
the v8's are good in automatic form, better in manual. If its an I6 try for a manual, so you can stir more performance out of the little engine, but an auto is fine if you're commuting

>>15404142

>>15404160
b-but
>muh hemi
>>15404162
>Haha, glad I don't live over that side
I mean it in a good way. There are shitloads of great fuel guzzling old cars around that would probably would not meet today's emissions standards.
>>15404173
then get a pseudohemi from a 300c srt8
>>15404174
No dude I meant I'm glad I don't live in cali
>>15404175
id rather not, i have plans on building the original engine, because i love it so much
If i wanted to go fast, i figured i could buy a BA xr8 pretty cheap these days for under 4k, or a WH Statesman with an LS1. Id rather not engine swap the Valiant
>>15404177
Oh my bad, I thought you meant side of the world.
At least not every state has that emissions shit. Do lowriders and all those old ghetto cars still exist over there or has the registration and emissions tests stopped them?
hi guys
bored, too poor to pay for entertainment, so here I am.

Do like i did and download all the early seasons of mythbusters so you can get pissed off when they fuck up
Seeing how inept they are with several car myths makes me doubt all the rest.

>burnouts can't catch tyres on fire

>Car falling myth

>Car windshield broken by drink
They went with a slushie going 'hurr more mass' not realizing you can smash a window with a tiny piece of ceramic and that actual ice would have more penetrating power
>can you smash through a caravan
At which point they drove a fucking car straight into its dual axles and the dickheads called this 'busted'
>>15404039
Grand Cherokee with the srt8. Yummy.
Would love one if they didn't cost the Fuckin earth
>>15404206
It's all cheap entertainment innit? I reckon they wouldn't be allowed to run half the stuff if it were proven true. Take that episode about fooling the radar and license plate speed cameras. If they found something that worked and told people about it, everyone would do it. Or using ninja rocks to break glass; you'd have niggers doing it non-stop.
They have an obligation to bullshit the public.

>his windows are frosted to hell, can't see shit out
obviously not over the moon about it but guy seemed to be upset with himself and he's a mate so I said no stress, is small damage. he offers to pay my repairs so i claim it's a pos car (true) and i'm not gonna raise a fuss. pleased that he's polite about the matter.
what would you do /dat/?
Sup cunts, check out what I found
>>15404439

Why are all civic drivers fucking idiots
>>15406585
They're either speedy speed boys or old people so that's why.
>>15406591
It had drift stitching and deep dish, matte finish white wheels and a fucking spoiler.
he was revving next to me at the lights last night which was cute because his car sounded like a blender.
He couldn't even launch properly at green, just spinning his shit up
It was almost embarassing to be seen near this thing.
>>15406612
You rekked him at the lights right? It fucks with their egos so bad it's hilarious.
>>15406628
Yeah absoloutely destroyed the cunt.
I drive a WRX so it was really no contest to begin with but even still, his launch was so shitty that I had an easy 100m on him before I even shifted to second.
>>15406680
Damn it's a good feel isn't it? I do it almost every day.
>>15406689
I wish it happened more often to me, People that modify their cars to look fast but are stock as a rock under the hood are everywhere but the only honda drivers that really try to race me are usually Integra drivers, but at least they have a little bit of grunt in them.
>>15406760
Still not enough though. I rekked some speeding bitch in a base model E46 the other day and she was pretty pissed since the lanes merged immediately after the lights. I just did exactly the speed limit and she was bashing her steering wheel the whole way.
>>15406787
I love watching road rage, whats your daily drive?
what are the laws in qld for towing a trailer on P plates? How do I display the back P plate? just smash it on the car on my trailer?
Who here absolutely fucked from last night? Ruined my bedroom and bathroom.
>>15407864
I woke up and I think I shit myself
>>15407936
Good form.
>>15407735
No towing anything unless you're fully licensed.
>>15408191
Not sure about qld but in vic you can tow if it's for work
Is changing shocks and springs something I can do myself in a day? Would I need a wheel alignment? Should I just pay a shop to do it?
>>15408350
If you know what you are doing I don't see why not, not sure about a wheel alignment but it wouldn't hurt

Does anyone know of a place in Sydney where I could rent some space to tear down and rebuild my car? Should I look for a commercial property up for lease and try to talk them into renting it for me for a couple of months? I'm not sure they'd go for that...
>>15404384
ah fuck. same thing is happening on other side now. started happening on the same side again.
do i need to replace the connectors? I may go to an auto electrician because i feel this may be a symptom of something else if it happened on both sides and isnt a coincidence.
>>15408702
what car m8
I'd check on gumtree for enclosed garages for rent, people in apartmentblocks often have them but you mightnt be able to use it for working on your car, gotta double check that
Most commercial areas will be way too big/no drive-in areas but you might get lucky
>>15408751
get some contact cleaner and spray the fuck outta everything
>>15408762
i tried steel wool and dielectric grease to no avail.
ill try contact cleaner.
if all else fails i will cut the earth cable from the harness and wire it again like what this guy's done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iNIPStPWSw
cheaper than replacing the whole unit on both sides.
>>15408761
a VX commo wagon
Yeah I'm checking garage spaces, but I'm worried they might be a bit too small to store stuff that I rip off the car
>>15408832
sikk, pics? Manual swap?
If you're just going to be pulling fenders off I reckon you'll be fine for space, can always put them on the back/on top of the car
If you're swapping engines then you'll defs have problems with a single car space, try renting a suite at an industrial area like kuringai or marsden park area (depends on where you are and what other transport you have)
>>15408776
what car?
If I were you I'd probs just grab the entire taillight harness from a wreckers
+ replace all related relays, check fuses
>mfw in Europe

It's starting to look more like my clutch packs are slipping instead of the converter
The fluid was pitch black when I changed it a month or so ago, barely any debris. Does black as fuck fluid mean burnt clutches?

Some of the higher end Renaults are ok
But the rest is shitty Fiats and other VAG garbage, no wonder the Euros hate cars

i hope you get hit by a car and lay in the cold weather slowly suffocating to death from bleeding into your lungs.

guys does anyone know if a double mattress would fit in a vx wagon
>>15409196
Did it fuck your wheels?
>>15409291
Do you not own a measuring tape?
>>15409334
yeah nah too much rain to go do that shit
>>15409291
Lengthwise maybe, width probably not. You can definitely sleep 2 people in the back though.
>>15409291
measure your available space and go to clark rubber or similar, they have a range of foam mattresses in different sizes and are much cheaper than regular mattresses and still damn comfy.

>>15409387
They see the car and figure it's a bogan driving it and they're not wrong. If you want women, get some luxury like a Merc, BMW or Lexus.

The car gives you the confidence to go for it.
>>15409428
You actually believe that?
>>15409436
You don't?
>>15409436
he's actually right. i moved up from a fucked up old camry and felt better instantly.
>>15409444
Well yeah of course you feel better, but buying a BMW doesn't magically make a smooth talking pussy magnet
>>15409449
but i bought an audi

Join a JDM sale group on normiebook and ask if anyone is selling one or go to a Nissan wreckers.

seems to be a common issue with older cars.
hmmm good point. might go to a wrecker and cut some harnesses. less hassle to splice those to an existing one. sucks because all the wreckers in sydney are 60+ km from me.
went to marylands recently to get stuff, what a trek...
gross muzzies ran it too.
>>15409342
Get a tube of autosol chrome polish.
Degreaser doesn't clean everything you silly cunt.
>>15409521
Yeah might not get everything, but it got rid of 95% of the syrup, but it looks like it caused some spot rust where it looks like it's been eaten.
Seriously who's pours coke on someone's rims, even if it's a car you dont like.
>>15409511
nice pussy, mines orange
>>15409572
Then get a tube of autosol and a toothbrush and clean off the rust spots before they get worse.
>>15409578

Listen mate do I tell you how to handle your shit, no, if you wanna spend your time cleaning my shit by all means come round.
I've got better things to do than Polish
>>15409622
>I've got better things to do than Polish
Like complain online about how someone messed your wheels that you don't have time to clean properly, because you're too busy cleaning them the wrong way? Makes sense.
>DAT
>even once

Let me just pull the metal Polish out of my arse at 9 at night (or 5 when I posted) on a Saturday.
