I guess this answered my question as well too risky

Is it just as bad to drive in the arvo as it is during the night with the cops and all

yes and it being a dry zone they will have constint rbt's all over the place. its not worth the trouble

haha i took my 32 with straight through exhaust down there. didnt have any issues, but i had my mate up ahead scanning the roads and was gonna call me if he saw a RBT or what ever. i remember sunday night i think it was driving down to near the right on the water, basically as close as u could get to the action by road in a car, i was meeting up with my mates that were all there in a hotel thing. i was f**king stressing, like going through the back roads, turning my lights off and parking every so often. as im sure u guys know, cops f**king everywhere at night. anyway finally made it there and slept the night in my car, well i use the word slept loosely.

yes leave your car and yourself at home there is so much trouble and it's getting worse every year dont put yourself in that situation

its not to bad, its just the toolies you have to worry about

oh and if you lose something like a wallet etc. dont bother going to the cops. we found one and they said do what we like with it :s

stay with a group of friends and youll be ok

being a local and experiencing many schoolies(and all the shit that goes on) i dont think they are really out to get ya. i never really had too much trouble with them.

this year though it will be at home as it is defectable! but if you dont have that problem then i would say you should be fine but expect unwanted attention!! if you dont want/like then leave it at home. i got a mountain bike to ride where ever i need to get to these days

but the first year i had the skyline i actually took it out. i was pulled up by a group of under cover cops like 5pm on the friday arvo after pulling out of a bottleo... search my car over(not for defects, but drugs im guessing) but found out i was local and then layed off a bit. started asking me all sorts of questions about the car, like whats it worth. how fast have i gone, is it quick. which i thought was funny! they were fine and had no motivation to defect me(although the car was mostly stock)

most of the weekend i left it at home til me and a couple mates wanted to go driving. i had 2 'ss' cop cars following me. fortunable i knew the back streets of my home town very well and i avoided any probs with them by taking a coulpe extra turns in my drive home.. i reckon thats where my trouble would have been if they had of pulled me up

then i was drive from work to home on the monday and they pulled me over for a rego check. and let me go with no issuse.

last year a mate of mine was pulled up but the 'ss' but the cop in it was dence and didnt know what he was doing( BOV's vent exhaust gasses to ATMO...well according to him. oh and a standard return valve is illeagel. haha)

so do want ya want really. thats my experiences with and my and a mates car.

i have had other run ins with the police at schoolies when i was younger, but i dont see me being that stupid now.

being victor resident as well. i personally wouldnt bring it if it's defectable. i'm hoping i dont get done driving to and fro work. theyve already started defecting cars done here, from what i've heard new cop in town defecting , he's nice enough but wi;; defect ya anyway. but if you got a stock car, go for it just be sure it's safe at night.

the thing that shits me about schoolies is that they show it on the news every year, and they say shit like oh fights at schoolies, waa waa waa.

get over it, it happens every single year, why report it every single time as if its something new.

if anyone is planning on going down pm me on friday arvo or sat day...iv lost all my drinking buddies!!!!!

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
