Just recently moved to the city and didn't know not every address is eligible for the parking scheme.

In my area there are plenty of empty spots and am wondering if anyone here has applied in a special way and been approved or what other options I have other than renting a car spot?

Thanks... :\

Dude; the cheapest and best way of getting a car spot in the city is to rent one!!! I've seen them for as low as $40 a week (full lockup security)... shop around, you'd be surprised how many people in an apartment block don't own cars.

I actually have a bad lower back and to a lesser extent foot- both which might fit me into the eligibility of the Mobility Parking Scheme - which means you can park over the metered time.

I just don't know of a doctor who would sign it for me, feels a bit ridiculous asking for a parking permit for a bum knee - because I actually would never use the para blue parking spots EVER, there are much worse off people.

On the other hand if I fit into the guidelines and it means I can get a sticker that'll let me park out the front of my house I don't see the harm.

Does anyone know of doctors who do this sort of stuff? Or is any doctor ok?

If you can get an MPS, you can park for up to 2hrs in a 30min zone, and all day in any spot rated over an hour. And you don't have to pay for metered parking, which will save you a hell of a lot of money.

    • So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.
    • Perfect day for a pie, really needs a soft top in this weather though
    • Prime parking, she is a little girl...LOL
    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
