How many kays has your VB-K done?

[VRSS]

Seen a thread like this in the VN-VP forum and thought it would be cool to see how many kms all our early girls have done.
My VK has just clicked over 141,000. I'll get the exact kms when its daytime

Edit: It's done 141,653
Edit: Just clicked over 142,000 last night

lol i still need to fix mine its stopped at 257, 647 and it was like that when i got it, so i'm not sure how many mines done but i've givin her a good tune up with extra's with hope to expand her life for another year or so.

My beauty don't blow no smoke

My 308 has about 280 on the clock. Not sure if it has had any major previous block or head work done on it, but it would have had a head job done for gas.
It doesn't blow any smoke. The only thing that annoys me about the motor is the lifters are a bit noisy and makes the rockers rattle a bit. If that was fixed then the tick tick tick wouldn't be so annoying. It isn't worth me just replacing them by themselves .

[Spike79]

My 304 has got 166,000 on it.

I thought my lifters were a bit noisy too, then i started using premium unleaded and it stopped. The old belt-driven fan with the thermostatic clutch annoys the crap out of me, it just roars. I'm not sure if the fan was made by Boeing, sounds a bit like a 747.

[craigvk]

I don't know why premium would do anything. It's an oil issue not a fuel one.
There is a oil additive called lifter free by Nulon but it only works if the lifters are noisy within the first few minutes of driving.

my vks about to turn the big 200,000! not bad being 22 years old i say!

[foammedia]

My SLE has 220,000 on it. Isn't it funny how the average Km's on a VB-VK is faaaaaaaaaar less than the average ks on a VN-VP, what is this saying?

[Nobody Actually]

180,000 out of the 253 so far...........

[Demons1964]

293000 in my VC. When I bought it in 1995 it had 266,000. And in the last 4 years it's only done a bit over 1000km; it sits lovingly cared for in the garage. It's definitely having a relaxing retirement.

[SL/ENUT]

147000+ on the old VB SL/E.

[vkberlina]

315000km on my runabout VK, most of the KMs have been highway kms
324,000km on the good VK which in the last nearly 2 years has done more KM on the back of a car trailer or tow truck than driven, im glad its nearly finished the rebuild.

[Dan355]

151 on my vh's original motor. 2k on new motor.

[3800VH]

[Cam-shaft]

My vc sl Commodore it has done 80,000 and still drives like brand new.

My mate had a '82? Corona with the Starfire Holden 4 cyl motor in it and it had done something like 450,000 K's and it didn't blow smoke. It seemed to just keep going and going. The body rust took over in the end but he still got $800 for it when he sold it years ago.

[unregistered]

198,000km. getting close to 200. ill probably rear-end someone when it hits 199,999.

wow i thought mine had low kms at 141,000

[Outlaw Torn]

just clocked 194000 the other day, should be around the 260000 mark cos the counter stopped for around 11 years with the previous owners

[Mr Robbo - The General]

The Ol' Vk has made it to 260, 113. BUT... Trimatic has Karcked itself. Soon to have a 5 Speed instead, so a nice compramise. Engine had very little work needed for those KM's, Trusty bloody car! ..... Or trusty drivers. Who Knows.

[82VH]

My 82 VH clicked over 40000 on the thirteenth of April. I’ve had it a year and put 8000 on it.

No it’s not wound back, I meet the original owner. I’m the second owner

[V-ahhh]

my calais has done 119, and the berlina has i think 196.

[traindriver]

187,575 km on the clock.

[9C1pack]

400,000km +
It started life as a Witchery (ladies clothing store) company car, so had done over 100,00 by the time it was 2 years old.
When I purchased it (1990 @ 180K), it had a 202 motor from a HJ-Z fitted and the auto had just been rebuilt. The 202 lasted about 2 years and then I fitted the correct 3.3 motor (secondhand) it is still going, using about a litre of oil every 2500kms. The auto had a valve or something fail about 5 years after rebuild, it cost $300 to fix and it is still going.
in 16 years I have:
Rebuilt brakes: Master cyl recod, kitted the front calipers, replaced the rear wheel cyls new disc rotors machined drums.
2 indicator stalks
radiator & heater recored (heater twice)
Shockers
2 starter rebuilds and then a new starter.
1 new alternater
Centre bearing
water pumps 2-3 ?
carby rebuild
reco air cond compressor and several regasses
heater fan control switch
speedo x 2
mufflers x 4-5?
rack ends and boots
It has been a good car, most things I have fixed or fitted myself.
It is now about to get front strut inserts and probably top bearing plates.
Sorry for the long post
