As the topic states, my wife and I are flying into perth on Saturday and staying for 5 days. Just wondered if anyone had recomendations of things to see and do.

We are staying close to the city center and will hire a car for a few days to get around. I understand it is a long weekend and wondered if anything special was happening?

Guy

Alright..

1st: go to Kings Park, Lovely view of the city day/night. must see.

2nd: Theres a car cruise on Sunday with some SAU Members, be good to meet some SAU From Perth and check out there skylines.

3rd: Burswood casino.

thats all I can think off so far..will post more when I can think of more..lol abit tired at the moment.

most of the touristy type things are up north or down south, not a lot in perth city, as mentioned kings park is nice, the bell tower i guess, the zoo. just depends what your up for

Swan valley is cool if you're into food/dining/wine/beer ect ect..

Also, head to the Subiaco strip or Freo strip for some great spots for coffee and good grub..

There is the bell tower, but it isn't much to write home about..

I'd suggest heading out to York if you're here for a few days, quite a few things to have a gander at;

Also, if you're going to York.. You're only a stone's throw from here..

Try and get down to Freo to check our Peter Bigg's motor meuseum. It may be the last chance you get to see one of Australia's greatest motoring collection (his lease has been terminated with no other site found, so most of the cars will be getting sold or going into storage)

His other meuseum in York is also worth a look if you do deceide to "do" the swan valley.

If you here on thursday 5th and want to see some of Perths performance street cars on the track, there is an Event at Wanneroo Raceway. Starts at around 5.30pm and goes until about 10.30. Entry is $5 per person. Realisticly you would need your own transport to get there as theres no public transport out that way at that time.

If you want further details let me know. :down:

Shameless plug for Hyden, Marko?? There is a really good farm out that way... I've heard some good things about it :P

Have fun in Perth mate, it isnt THAT great to be honest, but there are some good things to do here

Yeh, i agree. Wave Rock is fantastic!! If your in the area, DEFINATELY go check it out!! Fantastic, and as much as I'm enjoying giving Marko shit for advertising his home town, Hyden is a great little town to visit. Not exactly close to Perth tho.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
