Burwood HWY - just before Springvale Rd (near the 24hr kmart)

There is one house there thats so covered its almost causing accidents as people drive past and see it... obviously going WTF and on the brakes to see...

Also McCracken St in Essendon - there are 4 houses on a round-a-bout that always do a massive display

Also in Ivanhoe - there is a boulevard (forget the name, but someone will know it), thats fully decked out most houses

Lorikeet Drive in Taylors Lakes used to be one, not sure what its like today

The Boulevard in Ivanhoe is the oldest, but fark trying to drive down it at night, they make it one way only and it is bumper to bumper hardly moving. Heaps of people walking on the road too. You would use a half a tank to drive the length I reckon.

It is sponsored by the electricity company and the houses that do lights get discounted for doing it. I hear there are better ones round now though as most the people who live on the boulevard are too old now to do lights.

On the cruise side of things though, people on the road + lots of cars = lots of cops and possible yellow Christmas windscreen decorations!

the one in hoppers is the one that can be spotted by commercial air liners etc..

They even make the road a one way street just for this one house every year

yeh isn't it the one thats full on road blocked and supported by the counsel? they're like paying for the electricity bill to lol?

I've seen the one in Berwick, its out of control.

Everyone should check it out haha.

There is one in Rowville, cant remember the exact address, but its near Wellington Village shops

Check out the house at 13 Narracan St in Vermont South. It's off Burwood Hwy. A house with lights thrown all over the front yard. hahaha

Went to check it out last night and there's people everywhere, what shocked me most was that there were two tour buses visiting!

I've taken some photos, I'll post them up soon.

Edit: This house is also a Channel 7 Finalist.

my street... every year everyone always has a competition who can have the most nicest looking house. lol. one of the houses in our street have a massive massive tree in their front yard/driveway that loops around it.. will take a picture to show you how big it is. and they actaully got a template made up that fits around the whole tree and lights up.. its insane

The one on Burwood Hwy is fkn dangerous. Coming from Kmart side its just out of sight. Then all of a sudden the left lane is filled with cars, middle lane has those trying to park or pulling out.

There is one that always does a good job on the corner of colorado & taupo crescents in rowville.

lol ye same shit for me...

imagine full flight upto 70... then back to 40 soon as the needle hits 70 cause the drongo's jump on the anchors to see whats going on.

Its worse than a cop van with its lights on pulling someone over

Dangerous in my book, if people weren't watching for that split second, SMACK

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
