^^Needs bigger wheels

exhibit A

yeah sorry i don't have any better picture, looking over the top of the left outlet from the carby,
all it does is when the engines cold it pipes warm air from the exhaust into the carby, not really needed, dunno if needed for a roadworthy (if your getting one)

is this the pipe your missing? just below the cv?
that goes into the carby to help when the motors cold

disregard this if not

so a little step today, i got one rotor on but its way to tight to the pads and wont move, not sure if its the pads or not.

also she was running a bit bad so i did a compression test and one cylinder is down.
seems to be the piston rings, so looks like im taking the head off

Its kinda the fact that all the TV stuff we see here always shows sunshine, arrid deserts and mountains or beaches (full of cute totty :cool:) oh and a big bloody red rock stuck in the middle of nowhere !:rolleyes: Please dont tell me this is all wrong ! :mrgreen: Nah that sounds pretty accurate, o...

Just a little update and a question. I put the CV in yesterday, with a bit of help from the forum :p http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/dobbo_89/L%20series/IMG_0811.jpg I was told both front CV's were done about 10,000kms ago http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/dobbo_89/L%20series/cv.jpg no...

Well i just got her back from the road worthy test. The list includes:
front RH CV
rear RH CV drive shaft is not pinned?
muffler
front brakes
various lights and blinker plastic cover.

looks like a trip to the wreckers!

not too bad i think, at least i don't need tires and a windscreen!

No worries Valleyboy, looks like a sweet buy from bennie.
have fun with your L, i know i will!

Why we can't produce vehicles with accurate speed ratings in the 21st century is beyond me! I realise that this would change with owner modifications but from the factory I'm sure we have the technology for a spot on speedo reading with new tyres. I think its something to do with the car reaching i...

hey valleyboy, I too have just purchased my L! where abouts in Vic are you? Hey mate, If interested, we have both , Lift and 14's if you wish to pay the freight and put a couple of dollars towards the items. Wont be much. If i remember right, you can fit 14's with out a lift kit. Just have to put so...

Yeah I've ripped out the PVC pipe already, will use the inline fuse and wires from it for my cargo bay cigarette lighter i think. My friend works at Bursons, so I've just put in my first(of many) orders for her to get me, employees get some ridiculous saving like 50-60%! There's loads of info on her...

So the front CV has started to make noise finally. I take it dirt has gotten into the bearing?I'm looking just to get this off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220765507805&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en has anyone had any experience with this? also the ...

cheers, very minimal surface rust is all I've encountered so far, apart from the exhaust which I'm replacing tomorrow. I hope to book in to get a road worthy check this week and see what else needs doing.

Well i've been looking around for quite a while now, and finally found a subbie to call my own. Fairly Straight car, Full Bumper bar, minimal rust, paint flaky in places. its on its second engine with the clock saying 320k. and for only $390! http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t126/dobbo_89/L%20seri...

"right, time to put the aircon on" *everyone rolls down the window.

When i was growing up my parents had a yellow leyland minivan and a HZ prem(well still got both). We were forever getting waves and nodes from other motorists, i used to think everyone experienced this :P

now in my datsun on the very rare occasion i go past another datto, the wave is always there!
