HAs anyone else gone through the exercise of ringing around and getting prices on storage garages around Melb?

Im over my place looking like a car parts shed and storage place for my sisters shit for when she moved to England.

So anyone know if one place is better then another...is it worth going out of the Melb area, do they get cheaper further out of the city?

Further out is cheaper from what ive found

But that could more have been different companies than anything

Its really hard to workout how much room you need, best to go down there and see it in person is what i found

I looked into it about 3-4 years ago... but then just ended up using a mates shed :)

I'm pretty sure Kennards has fixed pricing.

The cost isn't too bad for a smallish storage shed, my best mate was using one a little while ago, can't remember how much it was though.

I looked into car storage about a year ago now, and they charge like $200 a month :D

Storage King on Nepean Hwy behind Office Works at Moorabbin. We put all our stuff in when went to the UK for a year, not sure how much it is but we still have some bits in there. Will let you know mate :)

Fry's self storage in Bayswater is probably the cheapest in melbourne. 5.6 cubic m lock up storage for $55 a month. 11.2 cubic m for $100 a month. 16.8 cubic m for $125 a month.

Bris, I used kennards in oakleigh a while ago and all was good.

One thing I'd point out is insurance....if you want your stuff properly covered then I believe you have to put it under your own house and contents policy....don't take this as gospel though, just ask the questions.

lol, so this is what we've come to eh bris?

once you've put all your crap in storage, can I store some of my gear at your place? only need about 30 or 40 m2 for now, don't sweat.

      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.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      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.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
