The E30 Ute is still going, I just needed a car to pickup and drop off parts. This is that car.
I picked this 2005 Holden VZ SV6 ute as a mostly complete car just missing some small interior bits, barely started and as anyone whos dealt with Alloytech engines can be a little dicey with possible timing chain issues. I took the gamble to see if I could get it running. Stick around to see how it all goes and if it costs me an arm and a leg or if I get out of it fairly unscathed.

Gotta love a random bunch of mystery wires coming from the dash! 🧐

@blacknightcreations Год назад

Ohh yeah, I’ll have to work out what they were supposed to be doing

@MattAKASoundwave Год назад

Gotta love that U-Pull-It The wreakers that loves you the most!! Where getting it off is half the fun 😅

@blacknightcreations Год назад

I even get a little excited finding something broken that I’ll need from u-pull-it now!

Holden was at the top of their game styling these utes. Look forward to seeing more content.

@blacknightcreations 11 месяцев назад

They’re really were, great looking vehicles

This was so satisfying to watch. Your detective skills paid off. Plus a wee bit of loose change! Looks like the seller took out the K&N better air filter? Why don’t sellers vacuum and wash their cars before selling them on!? U.K. looking forward to your e30 truck build. 🇬🇧

@blacknightcreations Год назад

Cheers! Had someone suggest keeping all the change I find until I can afford another car and we don’t want them to clean them so we can buy them even cheaper!

Rule #1 check the oil before starting a suspect car bound for the wreckers #2 check the fuel level, # 3 stick a camera down the some of the spark plug holes and makes sure there isn’t any valve damage.

@blacknightcreations Год назад

All solid advice, when I went to inspect the car first time they did start it but it was very rough. I know I got fairly lucky with the car and I’ve definitely learnt a few more tips for the next time I buy a car like this.

Forgets to connect throttle connector, no filter, 😂A driving running car! you've totally redeemed yourself... 😂

No point hiding it, I’m not a mechanic so there’s no reason to not laugh at myself. Glad you enjoyed the video

@paulsz6194 Год назад

I’d also put a new PCV valve on for good measure... those HF V6 engines had a poor a PCV valvle design. There are even video’s on YT here on how to modify them.

@blacknightcreations Год назад

I’ll look into one, I’ve done a couple more maintenance things to it already and it’s quite a reliable car now

@paulsz6194 Год назад

@@blacknightcreations a new PCV valve (along with the mod- i think it's drilling a bigger hole into it) will go towards reducing the likelhood of oil sludging , as it is quite common in these V6 engines.

@blacknightcreations Год назад

I have read up that the earlier alloytechs had thicker chains and are less prone to causing an issue. Like any car I’ll learn the quirks of it as I drive it.

I got a good laugh on this video. How much will it go for after it's all ticketyboo?

@blacknightcreations Год назад

As it stands it’s probably a 5-6k car but I have some bigger plans for it in the future.

I only by black cars and they’re a little out of my budget right now sorry

@darrenbrown5248 10 месяцев назад

You should have got a vy all Sixers after are shit unless it's a v8

@blacknightcreations 10 месяцев назад

I was watching for a cheap black holden Ute for months and this is the one that came up. Early VZs have a thicker chain so are less prone to having timing chain issues. Since I’ve gotten it running it hasn’t missed a beat!

@blacknightcreations 10 месяцев назад

I do have some cool plans for another V8 Ute in the future

@benni727 2 месяца назад

should have brought a au haha

It’s been a great car, I had just sold an XR6 non turbo FG Ute

@wubman535meme7 11 месяцев назад

fuck 2500 is a bit steep for that aye

@blacknightcreations 11 месяцев назад

I figured it was a whole and registrable, I just hoped it was a relatively easy fix which it was….

@wubman535meme7 11 месяцев назад

@@blacknightcreations I’ve seen fairer deals personally without knowing the kms and if the chains need to be done or not, $1500 would of been more fair for a vz that needed to be towed , no hate to alloytecs as I have a ve myself.

@blacknightcreations 11 месяцев назад

I’ve been looking for a couple of months for any black utes VU and hadn’t found anything. This popped up and it’s been pretty reliable. No regrets yet.
