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

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
