Okay.
I sold the old car and bought a R31. When that gets defected i think ill get a vl as a daily and just keep that for a stock/cruiser.
This commodore has so far been the best car I have bought.
i took it 4x4ing on local 4x4 tracks, it didnt get stuck! I thrashed it heaps and it still kept going.
I bought it for $600 and after spending around 1k getting it all nice again, with brakes and tyres, sold it for $1450.
I sold it with a spare front apron thingo that just needed paint.

Then, one day after work, I found her again!
she was parked up the side of a side street in the city.
She looked amazing. And i really do miss the VH, it was the best car I had.
Even though it didnt do skids anymore, it was just easy to trash and a great city car.

But Im also glad I sold it as it needed work, the stem seals had always been gone, the diff and trans both needed work and the carby was on the way out again.
Now on the hunt for a mint VL that i can keep clean and have as a daily/skid pig.

I can't be bothered reading the rest of this thread.. I gotta get back to work!

But here's my input;

Interior light MUST GO lol, that's something you'd find in a VR-VS parked Infront of centerlink.


I also looked into a 350 conversion, but it's just too much. I think it's actually cheaper to stroke a 308?

Steer away from the 253's.. You'll get a big disappointment. Trust me -__-

I read that you're removing the ash tray/center console? I have a magazine at home with a full write up on how to remove a VB-VH dash so I'll post it up when I get home ( around 5pm today )


Goodluck with your build bud.

Oh.. You sold it.

Now I wish I read the wrest before commenting..

hahahaha yeah was about too say..
yeah, it go to the point where in the end, it wasnt going to do what i wanted to do. So i sold it and bought something i can crash into a wall.

Got my skyline defected last night..
Coilovers, too low, bald tyres, e.t.c.

I have an old jackaroo that needs a cylinder head repaired, so im thinking of fixing that up and using that as a daily now and my skyline as a track car.
I dont mind 4x4ing so thats why im thinking of doing that.
If it all gets too hard, Ill just get a vl stocker and keep it clean and stock.
Same motor as my skyline so i know what its capable of.

Just wondering If i can turn this thread into a bit of an update thread of my skyline. I know its not a commodore, but they do have the same motors?!
