If I had the choice of mugging you, I also wouldnt bother you!

Lots of pubs and a cab ride the city won't kill you if you do need it.

HTH

A work mate has a house in Port Melb & said there are 32 pubs in that suburb. Not sure if that's still current info??

Yeah I could agree with that, probably a loose description of pub is needed but I can think of about 15 off the top of my head that are an easy walk.

You guys are a bunch of weak sauce muppets :rofl:

Ooooh........the west is bad, i'm scared.................

Lived here for 25+yrs and have never had any issues.

a few years ago we were looking for a house in clayton south area. one of the houses that we looked at was on a street off westal road. prety much all the houses had windows that were smashed and grafiti on the walls. the house that was for rent was prety much the same.

anyway got talking to a neighbor. according to him it was a good place a bit run down but he had been living for a few years but never had any problems...... he was a 6'4+" and 150kg moari guy :D

Personally, I'd avoid Springvale like the plague.

Took a trip to get cash out @ Safeway supermarket a few years ago. The place next door was derelict & had corrugated iron over the windows. Junkies had kicked the front door in & 4 ran inside.

I had a smack head following me around the front of Safeway persistently trying to sell me heroin.

Could wait to get out.

Then there was a eulogy in huge writing on the train station wall about a loved one killed by the needle.

every time i hear Port ********** all i can picture is a dirty place full of warehouses, where you can't leave your car parked and a rapist on every corner

south eastern suburbs for the win!! more east though, suburbs like vermont, glenwaverly, vermont south, blackburn, nunawading, burwood, box hill, ringwood north, wantirna, warranwood, wheelers hill, endevour hills, mitcham, donvale, templestowe, surry hills etc etc are really good places, not much trouble, close to EVERYTHING, 30-45mins public transport to the city. great bunch of people, great selection of food, multicultural. and im pretty sure a whole bunch of SAU members are from these or around these suburbs, that would/should agree with me.

not to mention, Vermont South in the top 10 suburbs of melbourne from an unknown source ;):D :D :D lol

Mate forget the 'burbs! Get a nice unit in either South Melb, Albert Park, St Kilda (East & West), Balaclava or Elwood. You will pay a lil bit more, but the lifestyle is the bomb! Your right near the beach, no more than 10 mins from the city and your close to St Kilda which is awesome (particularly in summer).

yeah borgs been looking at units/apartments in the Port Melbourne area, just have to wait to find out salary before i can look seriously as i don't think i'll be able to afford th 2000pw penthouses :laugh:

I will also be moving to melbourne in 12 months and will be buying a house. I was looking in Rosanna, Watsonia, Ivanhoe, Macleod around that area and will have max of $350,000 to spend. Will be looking for a 3 bedroom with garage and in a non dodgy area reasonably close to the city (30 to 40 min) on a train

I have heard Heidelberg is a bit dodgy?

can anyone tell me a good area to buy? I like older suburbs with nice big trees that are fairly quiet

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
