Right.

1. I grew up in Frankston. It is a hole. That said, parking your car anywhere is a risk - be wary, don't leave anything valuable in it, get an alarm and make sure you are insured - as shi*t happens. As an example, my GT-R was basically stripped in my driveway in South Yarra a few years ago. It's a nice part of town - I wasn't pleased.

2. Al, you are 6-foot? Hahaha - shortass :(

3. Ash, You can take the man out of the west... but you can never take the west out of the man.

Don't get your panties in too bigger bunch - it's a shithole, sure - but more of a cultural shithole than anything else. Lots of young families down that way. You'll be fine :(

Just avoid 'The Pines' and 'Skye' and shopping centres.

^^^ What he said.

And Frankston isn't that bad nowdays with more Skylines being driven around so you should be fine!

Hey not all suburbs of the west are bad.

I live in hoppers and have never had anything happen to my car.

For christsake the guy who had the car before me put a gtr badge on it i think that badge stayed on few a few months before i ripped it off but noone walking around the streets bothered to take it off for me.

Ive left it in shopping carparks and it lives on the front lawn and not once have i gone outside to find anything missing off my car or returned from shopping and had dints or scratches.

Some parts of werribee can be pretty feral but thats the same for every suburb of melbourne wether it be one in the north,south,east or west.

Viper or Mongoose? Which should I go for? Price-wise and quality-wise.

The car came with Mongoose and Im happy with it...

It works with my dual stage turbo timer meaning I can leave the car running and arm it as I walk off.

Does anyone have details on how much these alarm systems would cost?

Or perhaps a website of any accessory shops which actually shows me what they offer and the price for them, unlike Autobarn where I can just see the items and just left not knowing the prices.

:w00t:

Seriously some of you people have no idea..

If Melbs S.E beachside suburbs are such a concern maybe you're not suited to living down here.. Perhaps Sydney's Nth shore would be more suitable, where men with handbags don't rate a second glance.

Anyone that believes that Frankston is half as bad as that slanderous moron on TV has spent the past 10yrs making it out to be (all to get a rise out of Brereton) is suffering from the same mental deficiencies as Newman himself. To compare Frankston to Dandenong or Springvale??

Frankston has a class divide like a lot of coastal areas, we have multi-million dollar bayside homes in the sth and the old ex-commission area in the nth. You can't categorise this CITY as just a "working class suburb" unless of course your a paid clown in the media with a penchant for handbags and plastic surgery.

I dunno...maybe it's true and the youth of today really do have "hearts like rabbits" trembling with fear.. stabbing blindly at whatever bumps into you in the shadows and darkness!!

Frankston is notorious for serial killers... too many wierd ass dumb f**ks inbred there :D

Yep we had one...he wasn't very good at his job though, got caught fairly easily.

Now why don't you piss off back to Moe, Morwell or whatever other outpost of Tasmanian immigrants you've escaped from :P

And there was MORE than one serial killer...

Do tell, we all know of Paul Denyer, the fat kid used to pump petrol for me weekly @ Langwarrin service station (did I push him over the edge? we'll never know ;) ). I can't recall any other "serial killers" known to the area, killers yeah... but actual serial killers?

Have I forgotten something? Interesting.

Parking on the street is always a risk no matter where you are.

But if you have no choice, keep your mods as stealth as possible, quick release steering wheel, well hidden kill switch, top quality alarm, park with your wheels full lock towards the gutter, get full comp, and if you can be fcuked unplug afm.

I have seen that one but its not the one I was thinking of. I see a couple of red ones regularly and both have standard plates. One on White St and the other on Governer Rd normally. I have seen a silver one on Greens Rd with R31 club stickers on, is that yours?

nah, no stickers, i have a sau one on the 1/4 glass, and the sau "S" on the rear.

what time do you hang around them roads (what car are you in)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
