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

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
